................of an iPad2 today. Not me, I'm quite happy with my ipad1 at the moment and I have more cameras than I can shake a stick at and with the Photobucket app I can load them very quickly from my iphone onto the web 2018 Mini Countryman Cooper S E All4 PHEV in Melting Silver - it’s whisper quiet in EV and polluter modes

It's just been on the local radio station about the size of the queue at the Newcastle Apple store, they interviewed some very camp and very nerdy sounding people too. Personally, I can't see they hype about them, I mean, surely a laptop can do more for much less?  2006 Mercedes CLS

But really finding it hard to fight the urge for a S/C...

I didn't see the point in it. Or the 1st one. So, not me.

I'm hoping to get one, but I'm not prepared to stand in a queue all afternoon, so I will swing past the apple shop around 16:30 and will decide then if it's worth waiting.

I've got a normal iPad, but got no intention of getting an iPad 2 even if my one breaks. I would probably just get another iPad as don't see the point in paying so much more, for something that hasn't got anything I haven't already got.

I don't see any real upgrade advantage, but I keep reassuring myself that I can hold out until ipad3 at the end of the year.
I know if I make the mistake of holding one I will buy it, which is a as I have ordered one as a gift for a client.

I have "found" many uses for my current iPad, to the extent I have easily justified buying something that was only ever intended as a "new toy" Gerry

Gerry I have also found that with the mobile-me app and one of the word processor/ spreadsheet apps I now don't need to carry a bulky laptop when I fly to London for meetings - it's amazing how many execs I see are still lugging around half paving size slabs with batteries that go flat in 2 hours in their briefcases on flights. 2018 Mini Countryman Cooper S E All4 PHEV in Melting Silver - it’s whisper quiet in EV and polluter modes

Then their IT department need the sack.

I just furnished our exec with an HP Elitebook, obscene spec and some very nice features like the keyboard lamp that pops up from the screen bezel to illuminate the keyboard if you want to type in the dark. Coupled with the HP battery that clips on the bottom it has an 8-10hr battery life.

I was so taken with it, I bought one for myself. 

A pop up keyboard light - how quaint

Mac's have have a backlit keyboard, and a built in battery that last 8 hours

Mick, when you decide to get rid of the Ipad and IP4 (sorry I meant up-grade!!) let me know. Have been thinking of going apple for a while but don't want to pay for new as I might dump them if not what I want.

Here's my first post from my iPad 2.
