And just to explain myself, while the rules for the forum say "at least 24 hours" for sign-ups, I usually request that show hosts allow 48 hours.  Especially on weekends, there might be some people who don't check the threads every day and we want to be as inclusive as possible.  It's just fair, really.

Jalin: It's an Apple iPad 2 (cue:

The all-new thinner and lighter design makes the Apple iPad 2 with Wi-Fi and Verizon 3G even more comfortable to hold. It's even more powerful with the dual-core A5 chip, yet has the same 10 hours of battery life. With two cameras, you can make FaceTime video calls, record HD video, and put a twist on your snapshots in Photo Booth. And the iPad Smart Cover attaches magnetically and wakes up, stands up, and brightens up your Apple iPad 2 with Wi-Fi and Verizon 3G.)
