I have one. I cannot for the life of me figure out what I'm supposed to use it for. It is huge, so not particularly portable. The battery life is just OK. The screen isn't great for reading.

I've been told about apps that I should look in to but most are just iPhone apps so they look like crap on the screen. Beyond a glorified video player I'm not sure what I should be using it for.

I guess I'm kind of in the same boat. Netbooks are too small and awkward for my taste and a Kindle serves no purpose beyond being an eReader. If the iPad can be a good eReader for me and pick up some basic computing tasks, I think I will be quite happy keeping it.

I think the guy genuinely misplaced it, especially after reading the interview with the bar's manager.

The body of the phone may change a little from the prototype but I think it is Apple refining the design.

That's what I'm thinking. I usually don't have space to bring books, and I'm not allowed to load software or video on my company-issued laptop. However, schlepping two computers around, even if one is a netbook, is pretty :rolleyes:. An iPad is more likely to fit in my laptop bag, and I probably wouldn't use it for any complex computing tasks anyway.

Stunt or not, it looked pretty :cool:

to tell you the truth, i thought it looked to blocky or squared for an apple product. they normally go for the rounded edges, of course being a prototype it may not have final design.

It fits the look of the iMacs and MacBook Pros.

I agree; Marriott's low-end properties leave a lot to be desired. I especially dislike Courtyards (except a handful of newer properties). So many have not been renovated since their construction, and the lumpy beds available in even the newer or recently renovated properties make for sleepless nights. They usually are fairly pricey, also, for what they offer. I stayed at one near the airport in MSP a couple of months ago, and felt as if I had returned to 1994. The one in downtown Bellevue, Washington is probably the best one at which I have stayed, as I recall. Most of the ones in which I have stayed, however, made me feel as if I was staying in a cheap motel and paying full-service hotel prices for the privilege.
