The name is stupid, but this will sell..... and then they will have a better one that costs half as much a year from now.

 

So a device that has no word processor, no camera, no flash support, and no multitasking is the "future"? Yea, maybe in this thread.

Hi my name is iPad,

I want to put netbooks to shame with my lack of multitasking, lack of flash support, lack of telnet/SSH support. My best friend the iphone recomments me but he doesn't support Java and none of my friends support removable batteries.

 

10 key, normal sized buttons for people who type with more than their thumbs or index fingers, the weight/response of a keystroke (mostly a gamer thing)...traditional keyboard win.

 

great another i product. future? i dont think so lol. its gonna need a whole lot more **** than this to be the future. id mess with one, never buy it though. unless some one gives it to me as a gift. id be mad at them for buying me a apple product, then live with it and just use it.

 

Sounds like me hahaha! I'm using a first-gen iPhone because my previous phone broke down a week or so after my gf upgraded to iPhone 3G. Despite being a hater of most apple products, I happily accepted a free hand-me-down iPhone lol

I'm sure one of my friends will buy this, then upgrade to its next-gen a year later. Then I'll buy the first-gen for dirt cheap (or free) just to play around with hehehe

 

Really???

Things this can do my netbook can't: Run iPhone apps.. touchscreen?

Things my netbook can do that the "Mac's iPad" can't: accept any usb attachment, play flash movies, *multitask*, webcam, run any piece of windows/linux software out there, skype, HDTV out..... probably a lot more.. plus netbooks are cheaper??

iFail.

 

ipad is the ifail.

 

yea, ipad is a serious failure... no usb connection? only 32 pin .... seriously? freaking 64gb memory? .... seriously, for 699, you can get a i3 tablet with 4 gb ddr3 and 320 g HD ... how is this suppose to compete wit hthat?

 

but, but, the iPad has nifty packaging.....

Next is the iBrain, where they insert a chip into your brain and does **** for you. Like turn and off the TV by thinking it. LoL

 

why would anyone pay $100 extra for a measly 16gb of memory and $200 for an extra 32gb? oh wait, there is no usb port or SD card reader! iRipoff.

 

People can hate all they want but you can't really surpass the ease of use of the apple products. I prefer not to use my laptop for taking notes in lectures because of the inability to make charts, and calc diagrams easily. This could possibly be the solution I'm looking.

Really what it comes down to is this: sure other companies can announce a similar product earlier, and for cheaper, but they are all just too hoaky to use and that's what differentiates apples high-priced products from the rest of the pack. Anyone else here have a (non iphone) touch screen cellphone? I do, and it drives me nuts how far inferior it is to the iphone interface. This same point is valid for ipod as well, which isn't even priced higher than it's competition.

 

The iPad coupled with my iPod 3GS, MacBook Pro, Toyota Prius, black thick rimmed glasses and fixie I'll be the coolest sunova***** to ever walk the face of the earth.
Or at least until the next Apple product comes out.
