        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.

          Do I need an iPad 2?

          I have an iPhone 4 and a macbook pro..

          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.

                        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

                                Jody offered to buy me an iPad for Christmas this year, but I'm holding out for the 3

                                Main uses will be surfing the web and playing video games. I'm actually thoroughly impressed with the iP4S for gaming. It's replaced my Sony PSP when I'm on travel

                                      You might want to take note how the carbon fiber backplate affects your signal. I leave mine off because the CF messes with my WiFi signal. CF is documented to block RF and WiFi

                                      I use a skin from The Lucky Labs in it's place. I like it better anyhow

                                          Cheers! I actually tried to buy one of their black/grey digi camo skins for this as well, but they were out of stock. I'll give it a go anyway until I get a replacement skin.

                                            Ok folks, I'm on the horns of a dilemma. I'm going to get the MacBook Air, but I'm torn between the 11" and 13" models. Portability vs. screen size for three day trips to London. Mainly it'll be for using Word, Internet and maybe some VPN remote desktop action in the hotels to access shared files. Any thoughts?
