around 15 second first boot up. But after that, it should be instant like iphone coz most of the time it will be on standby.

If it ON instanlly, I may interest to get one. For reading on the go. I m looking one that can read pdf and mobile. Using laptop to read is quite difficult. From taking out till boost up for use, already take more than 5min. Not yet count when shuting down.

hi anyone here know if the ipad can open PDF contents? I am planning to get one but heard that it may not be able to open PDF formats.

why can't it open PDF?
The iPod Touch and iPhone can both access PDF files right?

I think Ipad is suitable for you. One distinctive feature is that it is designed to be in standby all the time, just like ipod touch/ipod/iphone

I think he read something about IBook, which doesn't open PDF. You have to reformat to ePub coz it . But outside ibook, you can open PDF normally like iphone/ipod touch.

I like to read and always carry my laptop. But problem is laptop are not really mobile enough. Not just like a book where instanlly you can read it. I have a lot of PDF reading but I only able to read it in my home or if I have longertime to powerup my laptop.

I will wait the ipad reach here and try it out before get one.

Well what you can do is upload them into Google Docs and view it from Google Docs on the iPad...
but then again.. you need an internet connection to do that~

David Letteman says the ipad gets hot in a short time, and it looks fragile but it's not... cos he was smacking it a few times when the ipad goes into sleep mode, says used the ipad as a heating coaster laugh.gif

Anyone can confirm whether the iPad can export as ppt from keynote? If can, it's uber gay.

Not reading outdoor leh. Like taking a half hr rest and you can read something. Reading while sipping coffee in starbuck. The most boring is checking in wating for plane when you have some time. Some more can playing some game and surfing.

You should watch the iPad stress test instead. I think it's more painful that way.

Haha reading in starbuck would be nice. You'll be the coolest guy in starbuck for a while. At least before it's launched in Malaysia, which might take some time.

Macbook - complete computer experience, file management, install anything, physical keyboard, almost anything with the limit of what Apple is limiting you from doing..

iPad - only run application from App Store, no flash, use finger, similar to iphone/ipod touch OS.

Best is.. wait for it to come to Malaysia then play it at the Apple Store... smile.gif
