Playing Civilization on this will be A++

iBooks looks amazingly like this: http://www.delicious-monster.com/

ET -- have you played Civ for the iPhone? I <3 civ v v much but wonder if it's just gay or not

yeah, I was thinking that elvis tel

have they said if it has 3G yet?

ET -- have you played Civ for the iPhone? I <3 civ v v much but wonder if it's just gay or not

I've tried playing it, but the screen is just too damn small. >50% of the game time is spent just scrolling around.

yeah, it doesn't

wolf hall gonna be way easier to read on this than huge print tome

pleasseee let me read the books on my iMac too. and buy them from my iMac

lol max

tbh having never read an ebook in my fkn life i still dont see the reason for the exitement over ebook functionality

x100

how much ar amazon books? srsly paying 15+ dollars for a bunch of electrons is pretty stupid imo

(exception: if you're a college student, i guess)

HOOS it's because instead of keeping Remembrance of Things Past on your bookshelf but never actually reading it, you can now carry it around on your iPad and never actually read it.

would be worth the $1000 if i overpriced med text books/references were brought down to reasonable prices

also, for someone like me: it is impossible to bring medical references to school because they are FUCKING HUGE. and there are times when I'd like to have access to several at the same time

settle down, ksh

seriously

ason Chen:

Apple uses the ePub format, which means it’s open, and which might mean you can import your own ePub books (maybe?).

^^^^^^^^^ SRSLY V INTERESTING

here's yr file creation comin up

no one needs to have all of their fiction books around all the time, but man REFERENCES. SO MANY REFERENCES

I am just astonished that Apple spent forever on this and its a kindle-sized iphone. NOT A GAME CHANGER.

I think this is worth about $299-$499... but would not be surprised if Apple goes with something like $899... I wouldn't pay that, though.

no gbx, i totally understand college students using something like this, 100%

Big question: can I add my own PDFs and TXTs to iBooks?

i don't know if the subteext is that you can upload yr manuscript and self-punblish but that's where my mind went

cochin ftw

i want some iPadThai, tbh

when are they announcing the price?

Wonder if that new bluetooth keyboard will pair with this?

yeah, the student market will gobble this shit up. most college students don't need to do serious hackery, but do need to have loads of different books going at the same time. so if you can plug a keyboard and a mouse into this thing, it'll be the ultimate student computer (which, tbh, is precisely who it's aimed at imo)

i don't know if the subteext is that you can upload yr manuscript and self-punblish but that's where my mind went

I strongly suspect that there will be a CDBaby/Tunecore type of service catering to self-publishers.

yeah, macbook killer, especially if you can type into Pages with any sort of reasonable speed

Only thing more tedious than presentation software are presentations about presentation software

ebooks are good for things that are only available in shitty mass-market paperback versions, and if you fly a lot.

Nah, not true Milo -- the point about college textbooks is spot on.

give me multitasking or give me death

Oh, I'm sure, I'm just pointing out two areas where I find my old Kindle useful.

iWork Touch interface looks a hundred times better than iWork OS X interface.

i think milo's point was "ebooks are good for ... among other things" not "ebooks are only good for ..."

xxp

also, guys, i am getting a little excited about the prospect of this in a hospital/clinical setting. not that we'll see a usable/apple-y EMR anytime in the near future, but holy shit if you could tote this around instead of keeping track of a bazillion different patient charts AND use it to pull up references as needed....
