I would hope you weren't basing your electronics purchases on this, or any thread on a horseracing message board. This thread wouldn't be what I would categorize as research.

I am completely satisified with the iPad. It does everything I need it to do. I may want more, but that would be icing on the cake. My home track has had free wi fi for years, so I do not have the need to pay for the wireless connectivity.

I'm not going back to a laptop.

By the way, the Equibase app that someone had mentioned earlier is by far the best horseracing app available today. I am amazed at how fast it updates results. It is much faster than the Equibase website. It is also invaluable for scratches and changes that are easy to miss at the track/otb.

Ken McPeek's app has potential, the replay feature is nice, but I have not messed around with it enough to give an opinion on it. I do know that the first thing I had to do was to turn off the notifications. It was driving me nuts.

From a horse racing and betting standpoint -- a laptop is wildly superior in all ways.

Also, if you're into piracy...a laptop with a big wide screen is the only way to go. Try watching a cam-made movie like The Hunger Games on an I-pad.

Unless your goal is to win a date with a gay man or you live in one of the nations five largest cities and move a lot ... there is absolutely no need to have an I-Pad.

I-Phones and I-Pads are huge with gays by the way. My girlfriends roommate is a gay man and a couple of the casino employees are gay. They each have different color I-Phones and talk about I-Pad's.

So thanks for the heads up Calzone, so I guess the Ipads are not for me afterall and from what you have mentioned I guess i should now add "not that theres anything wrong with that"

At home I would agree. However, when I am shooting at the track, having the IPAD or IPHONE to place my wagers is very convenient.

Agreed

I live in NJ and work in NY so for the ride to and fro the IPAD is a must. I must also confess that dating a rich gay man (no strings)has always been a goal, a goal until now that I've kept to myself.

Is that casino in Altoona? Beware of Chip Woolley! My friend's wife worked with a gay chef who drove her to work each night. She ended up marrying him. I'm trying hard to establish a parallel.

Let's just say that I've enjoyed the IPAD on my commute, at the track, for reading and even for those little dalliances that i've tried to keep private. But to each his own.

Someone as smart as you is actually buying the "My roomate is gay" line.

He's out of closet and has an ultra flaming boyfriend living in his bedroom.

He buys a bunch of different colored I-Phone's and I-Pod's to match different outfits. To me, that's more disturbing than anything else.

He gets Netflix and Amazon.com delivery and goes to movie theaters...even after I've taken the time to show him the joys of PiratesBay and UTorrent.

He refuses to eat leftovers...but he brings them home, puts them in the fridge, and eventually throws them away a few days later...assuming I don't eat them.

I will give him credit on the Jolly Rodger Candy flavored scented candals he has spread all over the appartment... those things smell freaking good ... but he is 'rub it in your face -- and bash you over the head' gay.
