Everyone that I know that has bought one also bought one "for the right reason". I can't see someone buying a $500+ gadget to look cool. That's what clothes and cars are for.
Not me,....I wear clothes so I don't get arrested

Why do we have these types of threads? I don't post when I got a new razor (even if it has 8 blades and a moisturizer strip). Most Apple fan boys need to get on the soap box and scream how good something is or does, like it matters. Then they scream when people act negatively to it. To me it seem like they need the attention. I paid $299 for my mini, Get 9+ hours of battery life, View UTUBE, Look at comics, INSTALL anything I want, Plug in my USB mouse, play FLASH games, Take pictures, Pass it around the table to look at pictures, Play PINMAME, Put over 64 gigs of stuff on it, Type on a real keyboard, and I can run Mac OS on it if I want (which I don't).
'Ya I bought an Apple because it not a status symbol' baloney. I've asked many people why they want the latest Istuff and most times I get is a blank stare or 'Because it's cool'.
There are posts about pinball, about arcade cabs, those are relevant to this site. There are also posts about Bell, Rogers, billing, thieves, humour vids, Rock music/band members, genome, hoarders, bad days, good days, luck, bad luck, cars, camera and yes, censorship and astronomy . It's a public forum and people post stuff they like/dislike, you always have the option to ignore it.
Naturally, it's cool to comment on whatever, good or ill, that's a cool part of the net. I personally just wish people didn't have to get personal and borderline bullying in their posts but c'est la vie, seems like people have to put down others, fun game I guess.
The only thing sad is it seems more and more common lately for many to dwell on the negative on this board. I'm not better off, that's what I'm doing right now, but personally, it's a motivator to not read threads.
Cool gadget, not my cup of tea right now, but if they add more to it, something I might get later. I use a laptop, but prefer the touchscreen interface for the type of access I want, to a mouse/nub thingy (mouse itself would require a table, not something easily done sitting on a couch).

But couldn't you use a laptop to do the same thing?
---------------- Shhh... stop using logic.

What bull*h*t. if that was indeed valid logic, Why did cellphones evolve from the crank up 10lb bricks to stuff that fits in a pocket? IT'S BECAUSE YOU GET MORE DONE WITH AN EASIER & BETTER FORM FACTOR.
The real ipad revolution will come in 18 months once people find new ways to incorporate tablet form into their lives that apple haven't yet imagined.
now if you'll excuse me, i have to go refill & rewick my oil filled lamps. That Edison fellow is running a scam on us all with his crazy notions that is managing to suck in all the guillible poseurs
