So they have already used 'a' and 'o'.  What do you think the next vowels will entail?

iPed- a device for locating underage liasons?
iPud- a networked Steely Dan?
iPid- what one gets if they didn't clean the iPud before using....

This leads to resentment, resentment leads to anger... Well, Yoda had some thoughts on that subject.

Yeah, and he died in a remote swamp, nearly alone, after a long series of acute personal failures and a couple of decades spent in a shack without windows, flooring, electricity, or plumbing.

There's no 'try', only 'do' or 'do not', and Yoda mostly did not.  Seek not his example, except as a warning.

Science and capitalism... instead of waiting until they have a concept fully developed and tested, they put transitory shit like the iPad out and tell people THIS is the thing they need RIGHT NOW, not the thing that's a little further down the road that will be much better.

They have to do it this way, I suppose, because there are a half dozen companies right now who are champing at the bit to get their NEXT BIG THING out.

I want something that I can make phone calls and surf the internet with, take photo or video with, multitask with MS Office type apps, that becomes a Transformer when I need to crush my enemies.

Daniel Tosh has the right idea.

Have you seen all the iPad covers that are coming out? Fabric? If I'm paying $500 for something, I want the thing to have a titanium welded case to sustain fire from a blast furnace.

I still say give it a virtual keyboard and a silicone protective cover that flips out and has keys molded onto the other side.

OK, yesterday I saw someone who had an iPad and a REALLY good use for it.  Frankly, a netbook could do the same thing as well or better, but it wouldn't be as impressive.

My friend who's an interior designer is who.  The what:  She goes to someone's house for a consultation.  She takes photos (with her phone, alas, as the iPad has no camera) and transfers them to the iPad.  Then she has software that lets her make design and decorating changes drawn on top of the actual photos.  So she can sit there with the customer and, right in front of them, say This is how it would look blue.  This is how it would look gray.  This is what it would look like with venetian plaster and roman shades.  This is how it would look with soapstone vs travertine.  This is how it would look with the fancy wallpaper.

OK, that is seriously slick.  It's not the perfect hardware, but she apparently tried doing something similar with a portable LED projector setup, but of course the colors don't always come out right, and there were whatever other problems, too.  And, I mean, the iPad is just going to be a sexier tool for it, in terms of impressing customers, because it's more 'magical'.

Probably really fucking expensive, proprietary software. I used to use landscaping software, but it got too expensive after a while.

that may be what it is and it may be fine for the company. we're always looking for ways to improve client relations.
