I'm sorry, what was that? What did you say? Yes, many women don't
listen, but many men don't hear. <smile>. So it evens out. In all
seriousness, I think you are right that I will eventually end up buying
an iPad. It might be a family iPad for starters to see what use we get
out of it to start with though and then we can go from there. I need to
get my big promotion first though before that can happen.
Thanks.

Raul,
Haven't you figured out that we women never listen. YOu'll be buying iPads
before you know it.

All sarcasm aside, I do believe that both iPad and iPhone have their place and
will be useful to some and not as much to others. I think it highly depends on
the needs of the user. It's already been discussed much on the list the
differences between iPad and iPhone and why one chooses one over the other.
Personally I'm fine without the iPad and perfectly happy with the iPhone, but
someone like my wife and daughter would really enjoy the iPad for the kinds of
things you can do on it VS the iPhone. For example, my daughter is sighted and
an avid reader. Reading books on her iPhone is not as fun as it is on the iPad
because of the text size and because of more scrolling which is done from the
iPhone, but the iPad is perfect for her socialization, email, and book reading
needs.
So, I imagine that eventually the girls in my life will convince me to get one or
both of them an iPad. Until then, scroll scroll scroll from the iPhone. I keep
telling them to just use Nook and Voice Over and let it do all the work. Or better
yet, Audible books. But no one listens to me. <smile>.

There is this new thing out; called an iPhone I beleive.
Try that.

Hello,
So I'm not really an iPad hater. Still, made you think, didn't it?
Anyway, I got an iPad 4th gen as a surprise. Honestly, I don't get it.
It's the oversized iPhone I feared. The single best feature I can
point to is the four-finger swipe to switch between apps. Otherwise,
without 3G access, I can't access Dropbox outside of wireless range.
Only one of my text editors will give me some access to the Dropbox
file structure, but overall this doesn't work as the commuter tool I
was hoping for.
Where am I going wrong? Are there apps that let you read Dropbox files
outside of wireless range, or is 3G really needed to make this a
viable commuter device? I'm thinking I'd be better off upgrading to
the iPhone 5 for the faster processor and 4G connections, but before
selling off this unit, I want to make sure I'm giving it a fair shake.
Right now it just feels like one big ass screen that feels more
awkward than useful. Even the greater web page range is not enough to
make me admire the extra screen real estate.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts,
Joe
