klingon 10 Posted May 28, 2010 Author Share Posted May 28, 2010 200 people + media at the "Opening Ceremony" that is going on now. It looks ever so exciting. Link to post Share on other sites
klingon 10 Posted May 28, 2010 Author Share Posted May 28, 2010 Breathless reporter on one of the main morning programs just saying ç§ãŸã¡ã®ç”Ÿæ´»ã‚’大ãã変ã‚ã‚‹ã‹ã‚‚ã—ã‚Œã¾ã›ã‚“。 Absolutely reeks of sponsored fluff. Shamelessly blatant, stuff like this is really annoying. Link to post Share on other sites
klingon 10 Posted May 28, 2010 Author Share Posted May 28, 2010 They got a full 18 minutes of coverage. I feel like throwing up, sickening it was, they should be ashamed of themselves. Bet they're not though. Link to post Share on other sites

grungy-gonads 54 Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 I'm still on "shipping by 6th June", so it will be after that. I think it's clear what the thing is like though through the zillions of reviews. But you need to touch one and play with it to really know. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Just out of interest, what books can I find on the apple bookstore? Is it possible to see it without actually having an ipad? They seem rather quiet about it, I am guessing the answer might be --- not much! Link to post Share on other sites

That. is the point. Don't know much about how the thing works and what app stores are by the sounds Prefer to see what I'm buying, by and large. Also prefer to be able to get data into the thing from sources other than the "licenced" stores - which will have inflated prices as common with Apple. Link to post Share on other sites
