So the covers roll back to the form a stand in landscape orientation. Will it also work as a stand in portrait orientation as that is how I read my books?

Yes. You can watch the video on how those covers work on Apple's website. Pretty neat. Snap on, snap off! Roll up, roll back! LOL

Regarding the iPad covers, I need to purchase every color in order for me to COORDINATE! laugh

I must admit, the iPad looks really nice (black). My $$$ is tied up with my trip later on this year, so I may need to add it to my xmas wish list. Oh wait, I have a b-day coming up in a few months. Hmmmmmmmmm

Add the iPad to your B-day Registry laugh do stores have one ? I know they have wedding registries.

Anyway
An iPad would be great on trips, more so for those long long waits at airports = iPad owners don't get Group as much as PC users by TSA laugh

I just seen on CNN today from a talking Tech head.

Xoom + Android, Honey Comb = Power professional users.

iPad + Macs = are for kids and consumers.

Believe it or not , we still hear this crap even today.

You forgot Steve mad

when iPad 3 comes out it'll be for coffee Connoisseurs too ! laugh

I think it's a slim Apple edge (pardon pun) . . . iPad has tons more Apps than XOOM too.

You're right Steve . . ."Professional user" and tablets are oxymorons ! if you're a "Professional", you'd have a quad core Laptop - not a tablet, dumbazzes !! mad

It doesn't appear that it does. The hinge connector thing is only on the long edge.

Anyway, why doesn't anyone make decent green covers for iPads/iPhones? What's with this insipid lime nonsense all the time? </rant>
