“Auto maker Mercedes-Benz has announced that all of its 355 US dealerships should soon be equipped with 3G iPads,” Electronista reports.
“The company launched a pilot program in June, initially distributing iPads to just 40 outfits,” Electronista reports. “The stated intent was to keep dealers and customers out by the cars, rather than forcing people to retreat back to an office to hash out details.”

Hyundai does one better. Starting back in Sept. They were giving all new buyers of their new end model a new IPad and also utilizing it as a service manual instead of a paper one.

Fellow MDN Crowd,
I am rocking my brand new MacBook Pro 15″ 1.53 GHz i5 slick macheen! My old PowerBook died in March, and I have been using my girlfriend’s 13″ MacBook Pro since then. This thing rocks!
Sweeeeet!!!
Just sayin’…..

1.53 GHz?
I see the MBP page has 2.4GHz or 2.53GHz Intel Core i5 processor or 2.66GHz Intel Core i7 processor. Must be the giddiness!

There is a great opportunity here for Apple to reciprocate! They could distribute a Mercedes or two to each Apple store. Imagine how useful not too mention classy) it would be to be given a ride from the store entrance to the display of the new AppleTVs!

@ Macalope
How about Apple gives a Mercedes to each shareholder as a dividend. Is there enough cash in the vault? Or just put the iPhone on T-Mobile: I’m whining!

Lack of the following in iPad is limiting it’s spread and growth:
1- flash support
2- no print
3- no direct download
4- no folders & subfolders
5- must use iTunes for every thing
6- support for different Vidio format

The last time I looked, the iPad is wildly popular and selling like crazy. Limiting it’s spread and growth? Apple can’t make enough of the things. You get a 0 out of 10. Go back to troll elementary school.
LOL

Just fyi I had my ipad for a couple of month now and I love it so much, when I mention that it lacks some features and capabilities, I wanted to raise my hand as a happy and satisfied customer and ask Apple to consider things that will make their customers more happy and loyal( no comment on elementary school…..)

@Ossama,
1. No Flash Support. I see this as a benefit rather than a hinderance.
2. No Printing. Fixed in iOS 4.2 due out in November.
3. No direct download. Have no idea what you mean by this.
4. No folders & subfolder. Fixed in iOS 4.2 due out in November.
5. Must use iTunes for everything. Can’t really see a problem with this.
6. Support for different video format. VLC is now available on the App Store for free, and plays just about anything.

No. We still have a chain of command to follow. That will never change.
For the record, I sell Mercedes-Benz.

Lack of flash is a benefit since it will not bog down the snappy iOS as it does my OsX
