I don't think I've ever read for 10 hours in one day in my entire life. Be it paper, e-ink, LCD etc.

Which is why flash isn't a deal breaker for me in a tablet, unlike the first two things I listed. |

Sensibly they would use pictbridge or bluetooth printing to be honest (for a wireless device this would make sense). Mark |

I agree. Even with the latest Mac OSX, Snow Leopard will only download the drivers to printers it finds on your computer/network (with the option of course, to download all of them)

http://arstechnica.com/apple/news/20...g-keyboard.ars There's a kind of keyboard area that comes up for using it. Some apps on the iphone already provide for it. I think it's just a matter of time before the capability is cross-app, like the keyboard. Quote:
Real multitasking - doing two things at once - involves using different senses. Like reading a book & listening to Pandora while you read. That kind, apparently, you can't do, except with iTunes. Quote:

PDF Support Details
Does anyone know of what can be expected from the pdf support - ie toc, links, can you just upload pdf's to a folder or is it a hack like the iphone where it has to be an email attachment?

Good question-they haven't really talked about how files are supported yet. Would love to have a Preview App like in Snow Leopard.

Millions of people all over the world use lcd screens for hours on end for work and leisure with no ill effect. Are they ideal for reading? Probably not but to state that reading on one will case eyestrain and migrianes is just ridiculous. I'm sure anyone who is going to buy an iPad knows full well how they cope with lcd technology. |

And the new 3.2 SDK provides File Sharing, which improves file transfer from a PC to the iPad over the current model. So..you may have to wait a little longer before...whatever it is we are waiting for. |
