iPad – How to Get a Cheap iPad
Edward McClendon asked:
iPod touch, iPhones, iMac and iPad. These are the electronics that everyone wants but can’t afford them due to how expensive they are. So how do I get a cheap ipad for under $100? Getting anything from Apple for under $100 is very hard and difficult.
However, it is possible to get these products for almost to nothing you just need to know where to go to get them. You will spend countless hours online looking for sites that offer these products very cheap, but most of them will just scam you or try ripping you off.
However there are some sites that has them for low prices. Just to name a couple of them would be:
1. Craigslist- This site you can find just about anything for half the price, but most of the time they will be used or broken in one way or another.
2. PriceGrabber- Very typical site kind of like amazon but they have a lot lower prices.
3. Ebay- The most obvious of them all. I would not recommend using craigslist because there is a high chance the seller is scamming you.
Those are just a few sites that is offering the iPad for low prices, but they are still pretty expensive and you will still be paying over a $450.
So is there any other site offering the iPod touch for under $100?
Yes, there are a few sites that are offering iPod touches for under $100 however they are very hard to spot because most people over look them as just scams. Don’t be closed minded and take a look around and research it.

Touch Screen Software on the iPad
Leon Zavsek asked:
While most commentators view the iPad as an oversized iPhone, it’s really a question, whether people will accept it, as a suitable replacement for netbooks (“they’re just cheap laptops”, said Steve Jobs).
I think this is really a question of software. If you compare specifications of any iPod, with competitive mp3 players in the same price range, iPod loses in all respects. But once you hold the iPod in your hands and use it, you see why this is the best seller – it’s simple and intuitive software wins the users. And without good touch screen software, iPhone and iPod Touch would never made it this far.
As Apple’s CEO Steve Jobs stated, the iPad is intended as a device between the smartphone and the laptop. The iPad copies iPhone’s basic user interface and physical design, but there are significant differences, beyond the 9.7? screen and a fast Apple-designed processor. Applications on iPad, look a lot more like computer software. It’s photo application, for example, looks more like iPhoto on a Mac than the photo app on iPhone. Most of the core iPhone applications have been rewritten and it even runs all current 140,000 iPhone apps.
While we haven’t seen the promised music and video streaming services, Jobs showed off their e-book reader app with a built-in online book store.
Visually, it looks much better than Amazon’s Kindle, but still leaves plenty to desire for. New York Times representatives showed off their digital newspaper, that seemed a lot better than Kindle’s version. And iPad’s touch screen software, allows you to flip pages with a gesture.
Compared to Kindle it lacks in functionality and has much smaller catalog. In addition a back-lit LCD screen can be tiresome for the eyes, compared to Kindle’s ilk. This shouldn’t surprise us, since Jobs is quoted as saying “no one reads anymore”. A reflection of Apple’s concern for the readers?
On the positive side:
looks awesome feels comfortable and solid to hold has all that cool software built in amazingly low-priced (for an Apple product) 10 hours of battery life it will use iPhone OS
On the negative side:
no multitasking:
While we can expect some limitations here, it’s really all about the software.
The fast processor combined with flash storage, launches and shuts down any application in a moment. This reduces the need to run applications in the background. It does bring up some concerns. For example: Will we be able to chat over Skype while browsing? And will we be able to receive Skype calls on the same device? The iPhone certainly handles
no web cam
iPad SDK 3.2 documentation mentions a camera and there are rumors about iPod Touch getting the camera in June. It would seem, Apple is planning to hold off some of the key features, forcing the buyers to reach into their pockets again later.
no Flash support
Flash is going to find itself competing heavily with HTML 5 in time. Google’s TestTube and Chrome experiments are a proof of this. Anyone familiar with Flash, can tell you it’s a dog that has not kept up with modern computers.
On the other hand, we are not there yet and Flash today is just too popular, to be ignored like that. This will heavily cripple the browsing experience, not to mention all the cool Flash games, we’ll be missing.
no usb ports, no sd slot the carrier for the iPad’s 3G plan in the US is the heavily unpopular AT&T it will use iPhone OS
The iPad is quite more than just a big iPod Touch or iPhone, even though it looks like one. But the question remains, will that be enough to get the buyers to embrace it and make it part of their daily lives?
This device will find some niche uses. If you are looking for productivity, you better stick with your touch screen laptop. But if you are a casual user, looking for active or passive entertainment on the go, the iPad might be just for you. Surfing the web on the couch, watching videos on public transport and viewing e-recipes in the kitchen, are some of the uses that come to mind.
Like with any other Apple’s product, there will certainly be no shortage of people lining up to buy it.
While iPhone’s brought us revolutionary touch screen software, this gadget still needs something cooler than a nice cover, to justify calling it “magical” or “revolutionary”. But until I get our hands on one and see it in action, it’s too early to judge.
However, one thing we can all be certain of:
This will be the most awesome toilet web browsing gadget. Ever.

What Is The Kindle? Why Do I Want One?
Anne P Jackson asked:
The Kindle 2 allows you to download a book from Amazon and read it just like you would a paperback book. The features and benefits of the Kindle are just short of fantastic. I have shelves and shelves of paperback books that could ALL fit into a Kindle. You can have all your favorite books right at your fingertips! The Kindle 2 will hold up to 1500 average size books! 1500!!
A paperback book costs anywhere from $9.99 or so on up to $40 or $50 dollars – Most books for the Kindle cost $9.99 – even best sellers! There is NO cost to download you\’re books either. It works on a wireless network just like your cell phone, but there are NO contracts and NO monthly fees. It\’s perfect!
You can also get most major newspapers delivered to your Kindle so that it\’s waiting for you every morning – along with your coffee of course.
There are six different type sizes on the Kindle 2 – which means that many of just might be able to get rid of the darn reading glasses when using the Kindle! THAT\’S worth a whole lot to me – I hate these reading glasses!
The Kindle 2 will read to you! If you\’re driving or otherwise “hand occupied” you can easily have the Kindle read to you. I\’m thinking …. cookbooks! How cool would it be to have your Kindle read a recipe to you while you prepare the ingredients – no back and forth to the book! And YES – they are cookbooks available for the Kindle. In fact there are over 230,000 titles currently available with more being added everyday.
The Kindle weighs 10 ounces, which is less than most paperback books – and certainly lighter than a hard cover book. I don\’t know about you, but after and hour or so of reading my hands and fingers get tired. (I\’m old, okay? LOL) With the light weight of the Kindle 2, I can read for hours with no discomfort at all! This is a great boon for those with arthritis in their hands, fingers and wrists.
The new Kindle 2 has added more battery life too. You can go days of reading before you have to recharge your Kindle. It comes with a wall charger or a USB cable so that you can hook it up to your computer for charging.
I not only like to read – I love to read and the Kindle 2 is going to revolutionize they way we all enjoy our reading!
