:confused:on the fourth photo she looks like a clone of Lily Allen...

But on the rest of the photo's she plays the roll of the most beautiful woman on the earth:wub:

The photographer seems to have just deleted the pictures from his website. :confused:

I keep forgetting she's a mother!

She looks like a kitty cat in a window.

if it was funny i'd be rolling. oh well

Thanks for the translation Mark!
Looks like she didn't quite get what she wanted either. That's kind of the same stuff I was just listening to Paul Thurott say. Well, I don't know. What did they say a 10 hour battery? Is that huge enough? Maybe not. So, it's just missing the camera really?

I must say, I find the iPad tempting too. I'd have to play with one, but I think if I could use it to offload pictures from my camera, do a little email and some little video watching it would be great for taking on trips instead of my full sized laptop. And if I could do all that and store "e-books" and do some fairly simple writing and drawing on it, it would be great to take to school in lieu of as many books and paper handouts. And this second use case is the more common. Hauling around books in itself can actually be a bit of an issue. I certainly couldn't take any of my text books on a trip. Can't do homework (not like I was doing homework in Nice anyway).

I'd like that to be my entry into Apple land. Not that I ever expect to become an Apple fanboy bigot like Lili! :rolleyes: What's up with dissin' the "PC"? Ok, I haven't had a Mac in over 15 years; so...
but I suppose this is a digression...

P.S. docdtv "Toc de Macintosh!" dude that awesome. Should have thought of that so long ago.

My take is that the iPad isn't marketed primarily as an ereader and isn't as good for one as any of the dedicated readers on the market because it doesn't use an e-ink screen. It's meant for other purposes mainly, although it is possible to read books on it. As far as I can see, it's essentially an oversized iPod Touch. I don't plan to get one. I might if I were more visual-arts inclined. There's no way I could write on one, though -- I type about 100 wpm, which is faster than my brain works when I'm writing anything difficult like a story, so the process is I sit there and wait to figure out what I want to say next, and then I come up with something and it gets translated to the screen instantly, almost like my thoughts are writing themselves. But I need a real full-sized keyboard to do that. Drawing I could see, if the iPad comes with a stylus (not sure -- does it?) but I'm not very good at drawing. OTOH, maybe a toy like that would inspire me to get better at it.

At the moment, I'm not real pleased with Steve Jobs, but that has nothing to do with the quality of Apple products.

If you'd ask me the iPad looks like a richmans-toy. Not enough features to make it useful really, not for that price anyway.
For those who care to wait there will be much better alternatives later this year in the tablet pc area.

Btw nice find/snatch with them pictures.
She looks so young in these !

STREET FIGHTER! that just makes that game all the greater. it's still no mortal kombat though

The iPad is really just a big iPod/Kindle. It's a (locked down) media delivery device.

my favorites are the second and the fifth pics... the hair and the way she isn't looking at the camera get me :wub:
