I talked with a chaplain at a Christian free medical clinic today who did not know that Stephen Ministry could fit into his workplace. Can you tell me how to link him with your information on hospital chaplaincy ministry? Thanks. AnnMoore

I just pay the $30 a month for unlimited... It kinda adds up but it's worth it I think.

The HP Win7 tablet wanna be is not a threat, but it will sell sufficiently.

I think iTunes should have cheaper music.

Apple has done the hard and risky innovative work to define and promote the user interface and multitouch paradigm and Android is opportunistic in ripping Apple off.

I can’t believe Steve Jobs thinks it is not important that the iPhone doesn’t support Flash.

$30 is high? You guys don't get out much, do you?

In some countries, Apple partners don't even have unlimited...

Example: here, Vodafone charges 35€ (get a calc, you illiterate americans) for 500Mb and 230 minutes (intra-VDF calls only).

So, stop whining...

@Name:

I think you meant to say "You're an idiot". "Your an idiot" just doesn't make sense. If you're going to criticise someone, at least show you have some intelligence by learning how to use proper punctuation. It would also help if you would enlighten us on what points Lander Martin made that makes him in your esteemed view an idiot.

The iPad will have a revolutionary intro. It'll be shipped to 10 countries within a month of the US intro and I wouldn't be surprised if Apple sold over 10mm by Jan 2011 (followed by another 30mm in 2011.)

The HP Win7 tablet wanna be is not a threat, but it will sell sufficiently.

The Android pack is a threat, rolling out their multiple variations by Sep and after. Apple has done the hard and risky innovative work to define and promote the user interface and multitouch paradigm and Android is opportunistic in ripping Apple off.

That's what the HTC suit is about: beating the pack back or at least slowing it down. Google may or may not be evil, but they surely have some problems with ambition (will to dominate), conceit, and shamelessness. (See their advice to newspapers: "Give it away, like we do!" (Easy to say when your mega billion profit stream is hyper secure.)

Perhaps, Apple will team with MSoft on Bing and other products to teach Google a thing or two.

@ Lander Martin...excellent point there...cause everytime I'm out in public I always see a woman,kids and older people pulling out their iPhones..we owe it to them for making apple's iPhone as popular as it is now a days

At least one third of the emails sent to my husband from friends are forwards requiring Flash to view. I can't believe Steve Jobs thinks it is not important that the iPhone doesn't support Flash.

Well said. This is a device for the masses. It's a rethink on something that has never been designed for the masses. This truly is the first device to bring the Internet and digital media to the casual coffee table.

We are all witnessing the future of consumer computing right before our eyes. I don't think the tech geeks who read this blog realize that a HUGE percentage of iPhones and iPods are owned by ...wait for it... CHILDREN ... TODDLERS... WOMEN .. and SENIORS ... and these target groups will be buying the iPad. Guess what? Wonder who was making those fart apps so popular? CHILDREN (boys) ... Wonder who is making Grocery Shopping apps in the top 10 of Paid Productivity? WOMEN? Who just promoted "MARK ON CALL", the amazing interior design furniture and room layout program to the top 10 in the Productivity category? WOMEN -- Guess who the top 10 people I know that are going to buy the iPad? Parents of TODDLERS. While the tech TiPbers whine, the Parents, Grandmas, Grandpas, Women, Toddlers, and KIDS are snapping up these (dare I say) magical and revolutionary iPads in droves. So, no, you might not be able to run your favorite anti-virus and disk partition apps you are all screaming for to run in the background, but your kids and grandma and going to have a ball playing games, browsing the internet with their fingers, reading their Disney books, and using MARK ON CALL to design their home decorating plans on the iPad. I'm sure they could care less at this point that it won't support Flash, frankly the real idiots are the idiot companies that still have flash in their websites and are turning away the millions of iPhone, iPod, and iPad users. Free advertising they are just blocking from their businesses; that's the part that really surprises me. It's like a company who's unwilling to realize that that web took over yellow pages and refuses to have a website. Guess what? Flash is dead. Realize it, get over it, and fix your buggy website.

I agree, 30.00 a month is reasonable, just 1.00 a day.

@Microsoft Points: it's actually ridiculously low... I don't know how you can say it seems high. Stand-alone wireless data plans have never been that inexpensive.

Well, since I can blow through 250mg in a day or 2 it looks like I would need to get the unlimited for $30 but that just seems a bit high!

By: Adam

Adam — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 05:29:07 +0000

They should allow you to add another 250mb for $10, or even $5... It's kind of silly to charge someone $30 for 500mb when they could be paying $30 for unlimited use.

Or they could make it an extra $15 for one-time unlimited use. That would be a good deal.

Um. Share to Twitter too. Then it can share through it's own client to Twitter without needing a seperate app.
