i had a clear shield put over the whole thing, which added some tackyness to the surface, also bought a silicon sleeve for $5 off ebay, and it's really sticky now.

keep that kinky shit to yourself, Ed.

I like silicone covers but dirt sticks to them.

If you have an iphone, then you have 120% of the capability of an iPad for about 1/3rd of the cost.

And 1/5 the screen size and no 2 yr contract. How much is an NEW iPhone w/o a contract?

Personally I think it's more an itouch

I really don't see why they didn't include phone capabilities. Who wants to walk around with 2 devices that overlap so much in capabilites? My sister does, but she's a woman, so she always has bags/purses to carry shit in.

If they would have at least added Bluetooth a user could make Skype calls with it. But no.

It does have bluetooth. I dunno, the way I use it, it might be good for outgoing calls, but incoming calls would be a pain in the ass most times.

So it does. I asked one of the guys who had theirs come in before mine and they said no. I didn't even look to see if they were wrong. Well shit - I'll have to charge up my BT headset and give it a shot some time.

Me too, I never thought of Skype.
