Wrong....you couldn't give away apple products years ago.
It was a PC world.....even when the first iPod came out it was panned by nearly everyone...nobody wrapped their head around it......until it caught on....it was genius.....and then people payed attention....and Apple made hit after hit.

LOL! Gazelle has lowered their offering price for the iPad 32GB wifi back to $331! Probably got a lot of takers with the $437 price

There's three models- Wifi, AT&T, and Verizon. But I'm saying I'm happy because I'm just going to buy the wifi version of the iPad (which is quite a bit cheaper than the ATT/Vzon ones) and use the AT&T 3G data off of my iPhone since iOS 4.3 will bring the hotspot functionality. That will mean rather than paying for a separate data plan on the iPad, I can just have the one on my iPhone.

There's an additional fee for it on verizon ($20/mos). I would be VERY surprised if there no fee from AT&T

super GHEY, but looks like its likely. these f&cking companies are so damn greedy, $20 a month is not a small fee, for a service you will likely not even use every day obviously YMMV. but still. it should be like $5 a month then i'll consider it. but for 20? i wouldnt pay that much to use AT&T's network for wi-fi - at least with Verizon (I think) itll be decent fast. I mean compared to ATT.

I have the 250mb plan from AT&T on mine. I have yet to use even a third of it thanks to the near ubiquity of wi-fi in my daily life.

Back camera: Video recording, HD (720p) up to 30 frames per second with audio; still camera with 5x digital zoom
Front camera: Video recording, VGA up to 30 frames per second with audio; VGA-quality still camera

Same decision to make here. Normally I'd spring for the white product because it's different and neat looking, but I'm not sure how I feel about the white iPad. Only the display bezel is white and the rest is aluminum. Kinda weird looking, IMO.

My dilemma is AT&T 3G or Verizon 3G. A month ago I would have said Verizon without even giving it a second thought... But now, having seen the iPhones getting faster data speeds on AT&T's network, I'm not so sure anymore. I don't know if the "reliability" of Verizons network is a factor since dropped calls won't be an issue with an iPad.

I noticed that the new AV Adapter works with iPad 1, iTouch, and iPhone at 720p. Not bad.
iPad 2 = 1080p. I originally thought that this was iPad 2 only.
