I read comics using Manga Rock Unity (with over 7000 manga titles, some with 400+ chapters) for a 4 hour car ride and it didn't even use up 20% of the battery on the way down. The thing is really amazing.
I'm pissed off that the built in gallery can't be sorted at all, you're stuck using the "date taken" metadata but that's honestly my only gripe with the thing. Now if someone would only come up with a decent gallery replacement app and a dual thumbstick + buttons accessory you could snap the thing in to, it'd be the perfect little toy, cause tilting your viewing area around to control something is the worst control scheme since the original power glove. I haven't tried the games with the virtual thumbsticks but I'm not sold on the idea of taking up screen real estate with the controller. I guess on the iPad's screen it wouldn't be so bad but I'd still like something physical to interact with.

I know this because I used to be active in an Apple trading group. We were able to get in at great prices that the ignorant and amateur mainstream investor thought was "too high", because we were able to do up to date channel checks and estimated sell-throughs from retailers (this was both from sources and board members checking sales by eye from Apple retailers and then averaging).
Based on this information we would calculate an earnings per share and how that would reflect on the future stock price. Investor sentiment is the big wild card there, and the 2008 crash that sent everything into a tailspin skewed those numbers much farther down than they should have been. That said, for anyone who didn't freak out (like my friend who bought at 90 and sold at 250 and bought a second home), it paid off nicely.
I'm curious most would have said when our group way back in 2008 accurately estimated that Apple would exceed the market cap and gross revenue of any tech company out there, Microsoft included.
I don't follow it as much anymore as the general market level has me freaked, so I'm doing other things. That said, I think 30 million in its next three years will be easy, no problem.
