Since this forum is for any topic of conversation... is anyone excited about the iPad? I myself am an Apple junkie. I've had 5 iphones (yes i know there are only 3 generations, but drunken nights really add up fast).

My goal is to make MBA applicants take onus over their process.

5 iphones!!!! thats crazy man

I've had 2 - 3gs and the previous version. Nonetheless, I'm using a shitty ass nokia old school at the moment... I have my 3g one "exclusivized" to a phone provider in Argentina and I'm in India now... so if I manage to get a job... I will have to unlock it --- never done it before so no clue how to do it :S

Cant wait to get my iphone back. What do you think of the IPAD?

Hope studies are going well.
Jas

I played with the iPad at the Apply store on Saturday. I love it... As much as an Apple fan as I am, I think I can hold off on getting one at the moment. For starters, I think applying to B-school is more important and that $499 would cover a couple applications. Also, I'm the type of person that would need to be connected to the internet at all times, which means that I would need the additional At&t monthly service. I'm not concerned about paying the extra $ but I would not go back to a simple 3G service. Even my iphone is 3Gs, so going back to 3G would be a step backwards. I will wait for either 4G or 3Gs service. I think the iPad will do better than people expect it to do, which is also great for anyone who owns Apple stock! It is a piece of art though!

I havent touched the thing but I will get it if I get into a bschool. im tired of moving around the world and carrying books, keeping stock.. its too heavy, time consuming etc. furthermore i want to have the ease of accesing a book when i want - the only reason i favor traditional bricks and mortar books store are to go and physically browse through a huge selection of texts. this opens up potential purchase opportunities. It would be great if there could be a way in which all the books I bought physically could be obtained electronically with the ipad... but thats an ideal world :(

did you manage to use the keyboard in the ipad? what do you make of it?

btw, if u get a couple mins check this out - never seen a better review of a product in my life! its so crisp, clear, to the point, every word is well thought out - im quite impressed.

take care

Will text books be available via the ibooks store?

i did use the keyboard on the ipad... it will take a little getting used to, but just like with the iphone... people will get used to it.... it was kinda weird though

wohoa textbooks i dont know but... that would be great.. really cool.

imagine if the ipad/kindle or a platform as such becomes the norm in educational institutions (im sure it will one day)...
our kids will be learning from these platforms... i think its an extremely valuable resource - saves trees and makes our world more sustainable.

im off to slee-pppp

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
