I wonder if you got to turn the device in to Apple for battery replacement like you got to do on their iPhones.. Considering its got only a 45 minute standby charge, I can bet the battery will see its EOL within a year or less if constantly used like a user tool..
Any guesses how much a battery pack and replacement will cost? Maybe they do have it on their website but I haven't checked - my guess will be around half the cost of the pad.. give or take 50 bucks... And while betting on a pink handbag, why not add a little bit of silver, gold and red glitter to it :-) Joe -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arsl...@arslist.org]on Behalf Of Meyer, Jennifer L Sent: Thursday, January 28, 2010 9:11 AM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: OT- Apple Tablet $499 is not a bad price. If these things catch on, they could become the user tool of preference the way laptops and smartphones have. Will a third-party vendor come out with a decent Remedy user app for the iPad within the next 2 years? When BMC ditches the WUT completely, the opportunity will be ripe for an iPad-based application. Apple considered these other device names before settling on iPad: iPid LED iPud LE iPoOEd iPaYEd iPeEd isLate iTemp1 iFlat Who wants to place bets on the first designer to come out with a pink handbag for the iPad?

It's actually not too bad at $499 for the 16 gb version, considering the iPod Touch 8gb is $199, 32gb is $299 and 64gb is $399. I guess there will be a similar progression of price to storage. I want to see mid-tier running on one with ITSM 7.6.
