I got one for my mom. She wants to use a computer and access the internet. She's never used a computer and hates using a mouse. She loves pointing at things. The iPad is pretty much the perfect device for someone like that. :-)

It's cool that the Kinetic apps work, but I think I'll be waiting for a Windows or Android based equivalent that costs $200 and is capable of things like copy and paste, multitasking, flash, installing software that doesn't require the manufacturer's approval, letting you change the battery, etc. Sorry, I just don't understand the fascination with recent Apple products. It's a great marketing tool if you can use it with your software, but as a consumer I am not convinced. I played around with one at the Apple store and found it interesting, but it seems too limiting to me. _attend WWRUG10 www.wwrug.com ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are"_ ********************************************************************** This e-mail and its attachments may contain Forest Laboratories, Inc. proprietary information that is privileged, confidential or subject to copyright belonging to Forest Laboratories, Inc.
