I got mine early in the morning. I definitely wonder if Apple paid Fed Ex to dedicate a portion of their fleet to delivering iPads.

Gawker sites do stuff like this all the time. Everyone is gushing over the iPad, so this makes for a more eye-grabbing read, whether you agree with what they're actually saying or not. Pageviews are king in the Gawker universe. Always remember that when you ask "why?"

"Who doesn't use numbers? Not everyone is an accountant, of course, but numbers are now a "specialty?""

"But to say its dead is silly."

Let's cross our fingers.

With adequate training, you can actually perform certain kinds of calculations on an abacus faster than you could on a calculator. And while you can't use an abacus for very complex math, you can use it for logarithmic calculations (cubic roots).

Yep. Just think of "200% more" as "twice as much plus itself." Funny that this sort of basic thing is being discussed in a thread about a calculator app and whether it is useful.

"THATS WHY Mac users were saying that the keypad is dead, they don't have one."

"Also, division seems to be broken. Everything results in 0."

"Hahahaha. Rural area... Connecting to cell towers.... Hahahaha. Oh, son, if only you knew."

They're a (very) small team, so they haven't had a chance to work on that yet. I think they're still focused on the iPhone version. They don't want to just blow up this version and put it on the iPad.

Ironic!

"NO need for a 32 or 64 GB iPad."

"Getting paid" is relative. Samsung definitely cares.

Why would Steve Jobs be upset about a pun? He approved marketing puns all the time.

"What I mean by that is that there's an annoying gap between the top glass of an LCD and the actual pixels. Its like if you wanted to touch the trees outside but really you're only touching the window pane. On SAMOLED, the touch panel is integrated with the OLED glass itself so there is no gap at all."

"Gobi is not Snapdragon"

I can't agree with any statement that relies on advertising as anything more than an inducement to purchase products. It's not a factual statement, and in fact goes out of its way to avoid factual statements. Apple commercials are successful in part because they hardly tell you anything. They convey a feeling. On the…

"You might want to let Apple know."

"...except they leave out the "beta" part out in their commercials."
