      @michaeljcr:

      No work laptop for me, I can remote desktop into work on my home machine and I have a standard desktop PC there. Now I need another excuse for the Macbook Air…

      RDPing from an Air while sitting on the coach is a dream… (Microsoft makes a remote desktop client for mac).

      My lot use Firepass - I downloaded the software onto the iMac (running Snow Leopard) as instructed, but when I log onto the main site it doesn't recognise that the software has been installed. I think I can get it to work, I just have to ask IT to tell me what to do. It was just easier today to log on via the PC, but if I'm on the move I'll want to use my Macbook, not the Dell XPS.

              Does anyone have a suggestion for a decent iphone cover/case?  And while on the topic one for an ipad as well?

              My 3gs is destroyed with the only protection is an ih sticker 😉  Going to treat my 4s a little better so was looking for a case.  Leaning toward the Corter one atm.

              As for ipad, I have no clues so all input appreciated!

                I'm currently using the Dodo case for my iPad one, although I wouldn't recommend it as build quality isn't what it should be. I'm going to try Portenzo or Pad and Quill next. I like the Moleskine look though, and it's not for everyone.

                  I`m using this OGL (ObbiGood Label) leather case for my iPhone 4…

                  here`s the link to a similar one:
                  http://www.obbigoodlabel.com/store/all-others/ogl-ac-veg-tan-sundown-iphone-case/

                  the best thing is, if you want something totally different you always can pm one of the craftsmen and they will work something out for you (even for an ipad)…

                      The Twelve South Book Book stuff is really nice, and well made. I'm not sure about a phone case that you need to unzip to use the device though. I like the iPad version though.

                        I've been lusting after one, but am having trouble justifying the purchase…..

                            No. Just wait it out. I have a iPhone 4G and a Macbook and am not going to pick one up anytime soon. Love a laptop!!!

                              My wife didn't like the idea, so I went and bought one for myself (WiFi version) - I had to loan it to the wife and she made me promise to her that I would get her a 3G version before she would let go of mine…

                                Do it! You'll find you don't even need to take your Macbook Air on shorter trips, unless you have complex spreadsheet needs or other major software needs that aren't catered for. Also, it's excellent for general surfing, reading and watching video on public transport.

                                Call it an important business investment in new media, counter culture technological cross platform, SEO marketing and technological futurism. Or, think of the possibilities for watching telly and surfing the web while on the loo.

                                  Considering the iPad 3 is rumored to be released in February/March, I'd wait it out.

                                  I also find that most people know they don't need an iPad, but still find a place for it in their lives and like it.

                                    What is iPad 3 going to have that iPad 2 does not (serious question)…....?

                                      If you're the type that believes rumors, the primary upgrade is the high res display. Something like 2048 x 1536. And a faster processor.

                                      They're moving toward it being a content creation device rather than just a consumption device.

                                      Newest rumors also suggest a smaller 7.5 inch version to compete with the Kindle Fire. I'm calling BS on that, though.

                                        There'll always be a new model on the horizon, so if you're happy with the current spec, buy one, if you're not, wait it out and see what the new one has to offer. I still like my iPad 1, if that helps at all.

                                            I'm thinking of maybe getting a 4S soon.  I was one of the nerds who lined up and got the first iPhone the day it came out but since then went another direction.  I love my HTC Thunderbolt on Verizon but the lack of global capability makes no sense for me, and the loaner program is a drag.  Doug/Gimpkid I see you both used the element vapor cases - any issues with getting car connecting kits or other cables in there?  I know that it doesn't work with most docks but I guess a dock extender should deal with that.  They do look like very cool cases…

                                            Sorry for the late response on this, the last couple weeks have been God awful at work

                                            Zero issues with cables. No issues with headphones, although lately I've switched to bluetooth headphones at the gym. It's very convenient to leave my phone at the bottom of my gym bag and not worry about cables. I use bluetooth speakers at home and at work. For reference, i use the LG Tone headphones and the Monster iClarityHD speakers. I highly recommend both of them

                                            As for cables, AmazonBasics makes a fantastic aftermarket cable for less than $10 bucks. It's more durable than the Apple ones, and infinitely better than knockoffs

                                            Currently rocking a Vapor Pro Stealth case and the Vapor Comp is collecting dust

                                            I know violence is not the answer, I got it wrong on purpose
