Bored? Unlikely. What is more likely is when I decide I NEED the 3G version.

Which could be around release day... 8O

Will be doing a sale of other interesting(ish) tech on here soon... ;)

I have already decided its the 3g one for me as for the 60 quid difference (from the US price guide) between the two is worth it for the gps alone in my opinion and as Giz have said the hardware is the only thing that cant be changed at a later date...
Now with a new Mac Mini Pro so dont judge me !

Apple have an event today believed to be to announce the new OS for the iPhone (and iPad?).

Everyone is hoping they'll announce the international launch of the iPad at the same time...

Def will be 24th April imho so pre-ordering from tonight as well and hopefully bundling both the wifi and 3g ones on that release date although I suppose there is the issue of who in the uk will be supporting that with micro-sims and what packages they are offering. I like the US model of cancel at any time 3g tarriffs.

I don't like it half as much as my Vodafone PAYG which is actually pay for what you use with no (practical) expiry on the unused data.

Is it quite easy to copy your Sim these days so I could do this and have my O2 sim card in my iPhone and iPad at all time ?

Yup, that was what stopped me waiting for the iPad and made me get the MBP instead: the GF needs to be able to use it for her email/browsing, too, and I can't afford two of the things right now.

Try to avoid playing with one then. It's a dream to browse on.

iBooks seems to let the backlight go even dimmer than the brightness setting allows, so this could be good for reading in bed...

My car obsessed 2 year old did better on Real Racing than his attempts with an Xbox or PS controller. Of course there is that tendancy at 2, to drive like a 17 year old turning the wheel back and forth too much... :)
