Apple iRip yet again....

Can you jump a shark with it?

Well, I'm going against convention and I'm planning to order the 32GB wifi model. I usually lug my MBP with me, but I don't need all that power 95-percent of the time. At the same time, I like reading news and such on my iPhone, but the screen size and slow speed are a detriment. The iPad might fit the bill for my needs.

Ouch. Nice find. I do like MS Courier ... a foldable tablet. But Daiwa might be right. Healthcare has always used Tablets. Battery life is very important, there. Portability is as well.

The way it stands, the one app at a time and lack of multitasking is a critical defect. Healthcare would have use for a camera to photograph all manner of lesions or even problems arising in patient care.

It's current lack of multitasking, and lack of camera....nope.

Does anyone use E-readers to read magazines, newspapers, books, pdfs? I'm considering to buy one. It seems easy on the eyes and saves u carrying all those books on hollidays. What about the kindle?

GJDriessen...did a little looking and came up with.. 1. link  2. link 3. link

For the difference of about $100 (+/-) you're losing a lot of functionality...although, You'll need to do the side by side comparison, buying a Kindle just for vacations and then shlepping a lot of other devices and their chargers ... seems a bit of a drag....not that I'm a supporter of the iPad.

Perhaps the item woth considering is the one you didn't mention...the HP Slate which will be running a full version of W7, and seems would be more adaptable to multitasking that the iPad or Kindle 2 ... LINK.

I honestly don't see the point of spending $500 on an oversized Ipod Touch. Especially considering that nebooks run at $150-400 range now, and are a lot more versatile.

With that $500, I can spend $330 on a Pandora and save the rest. Now that's something worth buying.

nope, have no need for one and I like hard copy books checked out at the public library for free.

I stand with most of the people here and I won't buy an Ipad. I'd either buy an ipod touch or a HP Slate instead, both are more useful. Anyways, books just look great on a shelf in my house... and I must admit I'm proud of making sure every one of them still looks as good as new even after I've read them a few times. I don't think eBooks would keep me coming for more.

Windows 7 Running on the Apple iPad via Citrix

hee hee hee

"Do note that we’re talking about remotely controlling your computer here, not installing Windows 7 on the iPad."

Too bad.

Dang it, Po -

That actually might work - we're running a hosted EMR via a Citrix client now.

Veeeery interesting.  With a charging pad, might be doable.

Now I gotta be thinkin about it for months.  Thanks.  

@DrJBHL

Thanks a lot for your advise. I'm going to read those articles. I like an e-reader though since it has a long battery life and has the special technology which reduces eye strain.

Nopers from me. I just got a windows 7 pc. And I really don't think I'd use it....
