My girlfriend and I watch Deep Space Nine DVD's from Netflix with dinner every night. Wednesday, after the iPad announcement, I remember watching them use their PADD's on DS9 and thinking, "yes, I get it now".<p>What I really want is for the iPad to get cheap enough that you can leave three or four laying around the house or carry them around with you. You can leave one in the kitchen and use it for recipes, browse on the couch, and so forth.<p>Also, a long forgotten comment of mine becomes suddenly relevant! <a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=726950" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=726950</a>
