**joke** you are right, white is small, black is big.

ever wonder why all TV / PC monitors are made in black, and theatres have black walls.
white makes your eyes more difficult to focus and tired after awhile.

Why are you posting this in an iPad 2 thread? lmao.

Also, I find it weird as heck you would as a question like you did. You are only going to get 3 responses.

1. I don't like the typing either!
2. I use one finger typing
3. I type on it landscape like a regular keyboard.

What else do you expect?

Apple is the BEST, at hyping shit up like crazy...

ie, if you haven't seen this video..


C'mon, using an iPad on the back of a Tuktuk in Thailand? Walking around the Eiffel Tower? By the Golden Gate bridge?


"Fastest growing product in history." Is that true?

Don't know if it would officially take that title, but it's pretty damn impressive.

One year ago people were saying tablets were useless. Today Apple has sold a shitload of the original iPad, iPad 2's are flying off the shelves and virtually every manufacturer out there is scrambling to get in on the action by making their own tablets.

I doubt that many companies would collectively invest that much money on developing tablets if they didn't see the potential. Those same companies are also probably kicking themselves for letting Apple have almost a year without any real competition and grab so much of the tablet market.

Same. It'll likely ship sooner. And I'm in no immediate rush :-)

I was in London Drugs on Thursday afternoon asking about the iPad 2. Just as I got there a manager brought out official Apple iPad 2 posters to put up in the store. The guy opens the poster and it reads where it says they go on sale at 5PM.

He then tells the manager, "5PM? I've been telling people we're selling them as soon as the store opens".

I wonder how many people are going to line up early in the morning because this guy said they'd be selling them first thing.
