Can't wait to use it with the Logos app.

What model are most of you ordering? Which would likely be best for using Logos (in terms of memory, wireless vs 3G, etc)?

Hi there,
I ordered the 3G models. I believe it's better for me because I don't have to be worrying about WIFI. I do some travel and still in some airports and hotels you can't find free internet access. So, 3G makes sense for me. I regards of space I ordered the 64GB. I like taking my music and movies when traveling and that space is good for downloading books( from Logos or else) to save them in the hard drive and read them offline too. I hope this helps... Blessings.

I do not see the iPad that useful since you cannot use it as a phone. The iPhone's next generation, and its current generation for that matter, is likely as complete a package as you will get.

You are right. It is defnitely not a phone. But I think i'd look a little weird holding this thing the size of a large but thin paper back up to my head.
I got the cheapest one. My iPhone is only about half full and I don't plan to put any music on the iPad. I will only put movies on it for long trips. I plan to mostly just study the bible, read, and take notes. I will also see how it does for preaching from it.

Very clever. The congregation won't be able to tell if you are reading something you wrote that week or something from Spurgeon you opened up to on Sunday morning. HMMM. [;)]

32 GB WiFi.
I have a MiFi, so the 3G is an unnecessary expense. I only have about 8GB used on my 16 GB phone, but I opted for the 32 because I believe the resale value will be higher when the next version comes out.

I think I will wait for the HP tablet with Windows 7. Somehow I can't find any other advantage in the iPad than the bigger screen (than iPhone). Otherwise it is just bigger iPhone/iPod. But I will be anxious to hear from all of you what is your experience with it.

Paul, his use of language reveals his bias, if you pre-order you are an idiot because you haven't held it in your hands yet. What he doesn't consider, is that when I pre-order, I am not charged until my product is shipped so in reality it costs me nothing more. Secondly if I don't like it, Apple has a 14 day return policy, so I will be able to use it for 2 weeks and still risk nothing.
So, it doesn't cost me one cent extra, I risk nothing and I get it delivered to my door step for free. I fail to see the down side.

Shhh! Don't tell anyone.
I actually would be exposed very quickly. Every time i try to preach sermons I didn't prepare I stumble and struggle. I've only tried it once or twice and told the people from the start what i was doing.

Agreed, but I can see part of the point he is making. Jobs is such a dynamic, and seductive salesman, that even if the iPad turns out to be wonderful, it is near impossible to know now with all the hype surrounding it.

Agreed, my only worry would be that sometimes companies hire such capable customer return representatives, they can make you feel as if you are giving up life itself, by returning their product...

Have you ever been in an Apple store? I returned a 140 dollar set of ear buds, all I got was "Thank you very much, is there anything else I can help you with?" [:D]
I have the iPhone and love it. People are saying all the iPad is is a bigger iPhone. For the price point, that is exactly what I am looking for. If all I can do on this thing is read books, surf the web and watch movies, I would be happy for the price that I am paying. So, bigger version of the iPhone with a faster processor and better graphics? Bring it on.
If it doesn't live up to my expectations? It goes back and my experience with Apple is they won't give me any grief about it. Like I said, I risk nothing.

Hey, I lived in Miami for 4 years and had plenty of red beans and rice at my Boricuan friends house (and you know, to eat red beans, and not black in Miami is a huge huge deal!!!) . . . . so, I am almost kin! [:P]
I like Apples. Especially Honeycrisp.

Tablet form PCs have been available for years - I spent some time trying to use Logos on one a few years ago. What about the iPad makes it better than these tablet PCs? When I use Logos now I want one of two things - screen real estate for serious study or the ability to curl up with a book (usually a commentary) and just absorb it. A tablet form PC does not meet the first need. And no computer screen allows me to just read - eye fatigue sets in - I dig out my paper copies for such reading. something like the Kindle would work great. There is an SDK for the Kindle out now - is Logos working on an app for the Kindle?

For my use, the ipad is much lighter (unless they are wildly wrong with their release specs) making it much easier to use. Second, from all reports it is very fast, which will make it far faster than my TabletPC - (an HP TX2500). And the battery life will be much better than my Tablet PC.
After I use mine I will compare them and post about my experiences either on my website or in one of the two places that I write for.

It does not sound like you are into serious reading on your Tablet or any other computer screen. The iPad will indeed be lighter than most mainstream tablet pcs - 1.6 lbs vs 3-4 lbs, but still heavier than a Kindle - 10 oz, or 1.2 lb for the Kindle DX (essentially the same size screen as the iPad).
Faster? I seriously doubt it. Of course, it will depend on what you are running on it - most Tablet PCs are running Intel Core Duo processors and Windows Vista vs the iPad with an Apple A4 processor and running iPhone OS 3. And you will not be able to run mainstream applications such as word processing until someone writes a word processor app for the iPhone OS. If you do nothing but surf the web it will be fast enough. If you need a versatile portable computer ....
Apple claims 10 hr battery life, but nobody seems to take that very seriously. Apple claims similar specs for the battery life of the iPhone, but I know from experience that a couple of hours using it full time (talking, surfing, text) is more like it.

Not true. I read about 4-8 hours a day on a laptop or desktop PC. I read another hour or so on my iphone. I never have eye fatigue. Sometimes get but fatigue sitting.
RandalMHill said:Faster? I seriously doubt it. Of course, it will depend on what you are running on it
That's just it. I won't be running Windows 7 and the PC version of Logos. I will be running iPhone OS and the Logos iPhone/iPad app. Everyone who has actually used it say that it isntantly pops when you tap an icon to open an app. As for the mainstream apps, who cares. I will not need Word. I have Docs to Go and I will likely get the iWork apps too.

I use my iPhone heavily all day and I always get through a 16 to 18 hour day with juice to spare. If you keep bluetooth running that is a problem.
We'll see. When I get mine April 3 i will post my experiences. If you don't see it here, you will be able to find a link on my site below.

I would say the main difference is the touch interface is built in from the ground up. It's not slapping a different form factor on a mouse and keyboard based operating system. The way you interact with it will be much different.
And for those who say it's just a bigger iPhone/iPod Touch. They are right and wrong. It is a bigger iPhone just like a 50 inch plasma is just a bigger 20 inch TV. Why would you want one over the other, it's still shows the same movies. The mechanics may be the same, but the experience will be something much different.

Terry,
Oatmeal porridge is a Scottish national dish. I make it for lunch (most folks have it for breakfast).
Recipe for 3-4 people (Well, two in our house)
- 1 cup Oatmeal (I use Pinhead Oatmeal – the coarsest grind you can get)
- 4 cups cold water
- Bring to the boil.
- Add teaspoon of salt (I use low sodium salt)
- Stir constantly with a wooden spurtle (spoon will do but hold it upside down so you have the handle in the porridge – seriously a spurtle is just a round-section wooden stick) for 20 minutes.
- Pour into bowls.
- Serve with half cream.
It'll put hairs on your chest, man!
Every blessing
Alan

4 cups cold waterI use a 1:3 ratio and something here called an Irish grind or Steel Cut. Much coarser than the normal rolled oats that most N.A. are familiar with.

Same here. I want to see what the Logos iPad will look like. If it is a bigger version of the iPhone app, then I'll pass on both and continue my plans to get a 15" MacBook Pro -- when the Mac L4 is at least in beta -- with Notes and highlighting.

They have all shipped but are in transit and I would expect this to be like the iPhone 3GS rollout where people had boxes sitting in UPS storage facilities but coult not access them till the launch date. That was my experience then. I ordered for day one shipment of my iPhone 3GS and got notice that according to UPS tracking it was at the UPS warehouse in Louisville KY for two days just sitting then. Then the day before it suddenly was in my local NC are store and delivered the next day.
Now my iPad is in Hickory, just a 20 min. drive from me but I cannot access it since they have been told do not deliver till they get official word from Apple, which will mean not before Saturday.
UPDATE: Just checked again. The Hickory reference went away and guess where UPS says it is now? Louisville KY again.
