Likewise.
Although we won't mention the current Cashmere-based shenanigans.

Yup, ditto
I bike to work every day. We sold our second car about 8yrs ago. Nice
in Chch where for most of the city there are no hills and good bike
lanes.

I'd say "harden up". You can buy snow tyres :-)
There are exceptions, I also own a car (although we had two and
now
only have one). I basically only drive on weekends.

Try riding a bike when it is 30 deg C below zero, snow

snowing so hard that visibility is 50 feet and wind
blowing at 40 mph.
Ahh Canada.

A naive view of a non-bike rider ;-)

The only problem with the analogy now is that
the iphone and ipad wont
sweat
and stink when it gets to work :D

Actually any city would be a whole lot
better if people dumped
motorised transport for the push bike or
public transport.

funny because the whole city would be
better if everyone used a damn
moped
instead of an overbuilt car just for
going to work and the shops.. and
used
the car for trips and big jobs.

I do.. at least I did..
Nissan Station Wagon, Suzuki 200cc moped
scooter, and a Honday CB900
hornet. :) All for the price some people
would pay for a single BMW..
it all comes down to choices of
lifestyle.

Funny? Why funny? Of course the iPad is
a moped. That was exactly
my
point.
How many people do you know who own a
bike, a car and a moped?

Now that is funny.. because the iPad
probably is a Moped.. Good for
the
short trips to the dairy when I dont
want to cycle :)

Good post Steve!
And this I think is the point... an iPad
fills the "middle" space
between
two devices that most people will still
have need for once the "cool"
has
faded/jaded.
Extending your modes of transport
analogy....
If I have uses for both a car and a push
bike, why would I buy a
moped
?

no product is ever the be all and end
all. but I can guarantee that
my
children and grandparents will take an
iphone or ipad over a desktop
any day
of the week.. they can learn it easily,
just like the old palm
pilots.
Technology made simple is an excellent
concept (if limiting to people
who
like to delve into advanced areas)
I have had palm pilots, psion, apple,
PC, iPhone, Blackberry, you
name
it. All have their uses however its
always back to the workhorse
computer
for doing business.
Yes, my iPhone has things like tasks,
outliners, notes, email,
browser,
mindmapping, maps, even my bible is on
there, but I still drop
straight back
into a PC (albeit the eeePC now)
whenever I need to get some serious
work or
typing done. I can do quick email
replies but get to the computer for
anything thoughtful. For example, I read
this post on the iPhone, but
went
straight to the PC to type out the reply
as it was more than a simple
couple
of lines.
I doubt very much if it will be the iPad
vs the PC as the discussion
has
been - it's more likely to be the iPhone
or iPad PLUS the PC.
Just because something is easy to use,
doesn't make it automatically
better. Why would you learn to drive a
car when riding a bike, or
even
walking is much easier to do?
