No you're wrong it does not come with that, you need to buy that You're wrong, sorry.

But yes I stand corrected on that point there isn't software for it but still the point you are spending double the money on it for work stands, or do you get a free version of iWorks if you buy the mac version of it?

Show me Tim I can't find it.
Or do you mean the appstores apps?

Tim I get it's just for multimedia and it can view documents but there is no software to edit it or am I wrong?

Indeed Don but we aren't there yet.
Also Apple picked the wrong screen for reading, they properly choiced it to reduce the price of the device and make it better for video.
You can not compare the iPad to an E-reader in my view although it do try to take over the function of the e-reader but still the e-reader is a better device for reading just because of the electronic paper screen.
If they have develop that type screen further and in colour suitable for playing video then we might have the perfect combo or maybe OLED might do the trick.
About balancing a laptop in the subway... if you mean with that you can read email and such then yes but for now there are limited programs to use on it.
Now what I see will happen is that they make a special version of a program just for the iPad and for OSX and you can of course pay double the price. But if people aren't interesting in that and just use it for email, browsing and multimedia then you've nothing to worry about.
If the iPad could take over just a bit more function of a laptop then it might interest a far bigger group.
I for example see no problem why it shouldn't be able to do text-processing, or excel and all those programs.
It has a docking-station with USB so you can plug in your mouse and keyboard if you're at work or at home and want to edit some text for example, it's a missed opportunity if you asked me, you can't work on the device (at the moment)
That's why I wished it had an OS based on OSX since you could install those programs on it then.

You just proved that it does effect the exposure metering with 1 stop.
Do you mean it effects the metering or just the exposure?Thank you Cedric.

So what the meter meters is 1 stop off, exposure stays the same.
Playing with words, is quite complicated not in your own language

With PDF though there also comes the problem of illegal download and I still want a book in book form although I'm from the younger generation but reading needs to have a sort of nostalgic value for me.
Instruction books and manuals however would be handy to have in digital form since it's easy to look things up and can be make interactive.

Thank you Cedric.
You just proved that it does effect the exposure metering with 1 stop. AF need to be tested as well since that's a separate system, it might quite easily work correctly without a problem though.
Although we can already say that Pentax DSLR is not suited for linear filters.
Of course this only effects auto-systems so manual modes can still be used without a problem.

I'd just like to put in one good word for the K10D - CCD sensor! OK, that's two words, but the point is that I've yet to see the K10/K200/K-m sensor bettered at base ISO, so if you shoot all the time at 100 (and don't need the extra speed / facilities) then stick with what you have.
Yep indeed... that's one thing that keeps me with the K10D although the K7 feels good in your hands though and it handles quite well I'd just like to put in one good word for the K10D - CCD sensor!

I wished they make the SDK firmware for the older models including the K10D so that we can have a play with that and maybe copy over some options like the AF adjustments of the K20D.

Tim we can go on all day with this, and yes I do get it but like many here I don't see the use of such device since it does not bring anything new and I don't want to carry something around that doesn't add something besides weight.
If the OS was based on OSX then lightroom would just run on 1GHz and 1GB of RAM, the odd screen size doesn't matter and the resolution is good enough, yes it might be a bit slow but if you keep the photos on it to the minimum it will do just fine and since I've lightroom on my PC all can be transferred and synced quite easily.
If it was like that then it would have been more useful, yes it would be like a laptop but is that so wrong?
Tweaked down OSX with an Iphone interface, that would be brilliant if you ask me.
Like Don said it might be the perfect device to the ones that know nothing or little about computers but besides that it has little to offer. Many here just aren't the target group.

The light hitting the film-sensor stays the same if you turn the filter, but the meter is getting confused by the filter so the meter is not metering correctly any more.
The problem is that it's a TTL meter so it meters through the lens so it needs to look through the filter the wrong way and some meters can't do that, or better said get effected by it.
