Well, let's see, the iPad is clunkier to carry around than an iPhone or
iTouch. The iPad is almost as expensive as buying the basic MacBook Pro 13
with two gigabytes of memory, and the processor in the new iPad is only a
1.0 gigahert duel core processor. The MacBook Pro 13 has a lot faster
processor than that and so does the Ayer if you want to pay the higher price
for solid state memory instead of a hard drive.
The iPad makes me think of all the blind folks that have complained about
the size of the PacMate QT. In fact, I don't think that the PacMate QT
would be as large in flat area as the iPad.

Subject: Re: macbook air vs ipad 2
Me personally,
If I need to get work done, I would go with a Macbook air. Its a full
fledged computer, and besides the added size, you will find yourself bumping
up against less barriers when trying to get things done. Especially if you
have an iPhone or iPod touch already. What are you really missing in not
getting an iPad?

hello all,
i am contemplating getting another apple device. i need something that is
light to take when i travel. i was thinking of the ipad 2 because you can
get pages to write with. the only problem here is that there is no port
for external media like a usb drive, is there?
my other alternative is that i can get the macbook air. but its a little
bigger. i really don't need a screen. but i would have a port for external
media. of course i would miss all of those apps you can have on the ipad.
that can be negated by the fact that i have an iphone.
well, i would be interested in hearing from those with the air. i know the
ipad 2 is not out yet, but i'm sure there are some first generation ipad
users here.
thanks.
