I don't have the 3G model.
I have it, I love it.
I have it, don't like it.
I MUST have it.
Not going to bother.
I don't have the 3G model.
The Rules
Copper- behave toward others to elicit treatment you would like (the manipulative rule)
Gold- treat others how you would like them to treat you (the self regard rule)
Platinum - treat others the way they would like to be treated (the PC rule)
The one I'm getting for my mom is. Part of my hesitation were these kind of wacky first-generation issues, fortunately this particular one was resolved.
Apple seems to have gotten a bit of a pass in the hacking game over the years.
Edited because the iPad screen keyboard sucks.

I wouldn't go that far. They are consistently the first products to fall in the yearly pwn2own competition. I think the Macbook lasted 2 minutes last year.
Problem was that there didn't use to be a market for Apple hackers. You never heard of a melissa virus for Apple because your average 4chan script kiddie can infect more Windows machines with a single website than the most rampant Apple virus. Its got nothing to do with skill or being more secure, its simply about volume.
This attack didn't have anything to do with Apple either, this was AT&T acting like AT&T

Surprised my mom at a lunch with a friend and gave it to her. She was really thrilled.
My brother in law is helping set her up this weekend.
I finally got to set up my mom's thing after she's been using it for a few weeks on her own. A few disappointments:
1) The browser really renders things slow. Sites like GMail, NYTimes, Yahoo Mail, Etc are just slower on the iPad than my iPhone.
2) I underestimated how sucky AT&T could be. Even relative to tMobile.
3) I never thought the lack of multitasking functionality was a big issue on the iPhone, but it's pretty lame. If I go to a page to load in the browser, then go check something in another application, the page doesn't load (or the app doesn't number crunch) while I'm between applications.
My mom seems happy with it (besides the occasional AT&T failure) but I'm even more negative on it than when I made this thread.
I thought they made multitasking available for iPhones and iPads. Is it not there at all, or does it just not work?
We're stuck in a bloody snowglobe.
If it's there, it's pretty ineffective or hard to notice. But I think they kept their ban on applications using background data.
I hate it just because of the fucking advert

It?
As in Five Children and It? Or maybe IT from A Wrinkle in Time.

Like he could read
In the future, the Berlin wall will be a mile high, and made of steel. You too will be made to crawl, to lick children's blood from jackboots. There will be no creativity, only productivity. Instead of love there will be fear and distrust, instead of surrender there will be submission. Contact will be replaced with isolation, and joy with shame. Hope will cease to exist as a concept. The Earth will be covered with steel and concrete. There will be an electronic policeman in every head. Your children will be born in chains, live only to serve, and die in anguish and ignorance.
The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference.
You're right, of course,
