Wi-Fi only ?
What the hell ? The long-awaited iPad Apple Tablet was
unveiled today in Frisco. There was a lot of speculation about which carrier Apple would choose, AT&T or Verizon. The answer: neither. Huh ? I don't get it. There is absolutely no embedded 3G at all ? This is beyond weird. Color me disappointed, and I'm the kind of nerdy dweeb who *lives* to buy new Apple gadgets. -- Ken Fortenberry

OK, so I'm trying to follow this in real time.
Apparently the 3G version is 30 days away. Whew. I mean, I don't really *like* waiting 30 days but at least its coming. -- Ken Fortenberry

The really cool thing is that burst of speed I get when you jam that thing into the hind quarters of my pony. Now, that is high tech. Russell

Whee! I can read a book on it, and interactively at that. What a great leap forward for literacy in an ever-dumbed-down populace. Just great! Tom
