Comment So quick to judge (Score 1) 553

Isn't it too soon to slam ipads (and tablets in general) as a flop? There were mp3 players before the ipod, and they weren't must have. People had CD players and radios just like now they have smartphones and laptops. Were ipods an immediate must have? Let's wait for the market to mature a little.

I hit 1 when I get voice mail to get to the beep. Rarely works. One friend is kind enough to say press star at the beginning of her message. On another's I need to press 3, and 1 disconnects me. I'd write more, but the point is brevity. Or at least standardization.

It seems like most commenters have it right. Why replace a low effort, efficient device like a mouse with flailing arms and constant effort?

My touch device will be the one that incorporate a touchpad, the size of a mousepad, but more responsive than anything built into a laptop. With minimal conditioning, we should be able to correlate touching a spot on our pad to clicking a spot on the screen, and the effort required is no more than pointing and clicking a mouse.

Seconded!

And what is ebays policy on gouging on shipping costs? What if the paper clip is packed super safely, in multiple layers of padding, driving the shipping cost into the double digits?

Or better than a paper clip, what if I offer to sell this nifty document I just created? Can somebody create a script for me to post my blank.doc every minute for $1, please?
