This is too funny for words. The video is hilarious.

The iPad is a big iTouch. Sure it's nifty, it's certainly not revolutionary or as they say in the mac ads "The best web experience you'll ever have". Sorry, but when you can have open multiples browsers and see the entire page without scrolling AND actually see the embedded flash(apple doesn't support flash on their mobile devices), you can brag about "the best web experience".

Yup, and at $800, this thing will fail miserably.

I don't think it's gunna fail.

 

It's multi pricing depending on the memory and whether or not it has a 3g option.

 

Cheapest is $499 and the most expensive is $829.

I'm predicting that the price will come down like it did with the iphone.

 

I want one, but I'm not willing to pay that price. Even if I was willing to pay the price, the lack of flash is Fail.

 

Need a touchscreen netbook/tablet with 3g and solid state drive for around $400.. and that will be win.

No Flash support

No USB

No memory card reader

No webcam

No camera

Keyboard takes up a third of the real estate

 

It's gonna be huge with the Apple true believers. Jobs could sell brass plated crapballs, and the early adopters would be around the block 4 times waiting for the Midnight launch.

:shifty: Sorry - I thought you were talking about the Glock true believers there for a minute.

Yeah, but at least Glocks work. They may be ugly and feel like you're gripping a piece of 2x4 with a metal plate on it but they work, every time you pull the trigger.

 

This latest piece from Jobs...meh. They're trying to compete with the Kindle.

Oh, and it's a standard lcd screen, so no reading books in the sun. Bring yer paperbacks to the beach.

I think it's actually an LED screen but still won't be visible in bright sunlight like the Kindle.

The base model is 499.00, for that I think Ill just get another gun.

Flash, yes that's a big hit in the nuts

 

Memory card reader / USB will be coming out using the dock connector

 

Webcam / camera, expect that in version 2 (using apple's past marketing and sales)

 

 

 

It's going to sell like hot cakes especially for the price. With this item, apple covers the entire mobile market (and very well for that matter). I don't forsee myself getting one, as I don't really need one, but I'm sure millions of people will.

My momma always said that when you have half a bowl of dog crap and half a bowl of Ice cream together it tastes more like the former than the latter. No Flash would be the crap

Well to be fair, overall, the only flash I see are mostly ads and don't anything to the website I'm visiting. Think of it as a build in adblocker

Most online video is flash based these days

Dude - they can have their I-pad. I've got my I-pud. It interfaces well, has excellent battery life, gets up and goes when it needs to, is quite portable, supports all sorts of media, and can play many tunes.

It only took apple 4 generations of Ipod Nanos, and 3 generations of regular ipods before that to include FM tuner on their ipods.

 

But the Ipad. lol. is pointless.

 

I have for $349, I bought an ASUS EEPC netbook, 10.1 inches, 8 hour battery life, 92% sized keyboard, bought it before going to Israel, and it is great.

 

Now I have a motorolla q on Liberty Wireless service, with tethering, $50 a month for unlimited talk/text/web, and connects to my netbook via USB cable... all on a 3g EVDO sprint network.

 

But I agree.... crackpods will be lining up around the block to buy an iPad.

 

And does anyone actually prefer to read ebooks over an actual book? I cant read long stuff on the pc, if it is an article, I still print it out and read it. Same with books.

Audio books is a different matter though.

I have an Ipod touch, but I prefer my Zune HD surprisingly.

I have a Netbook with 3g and a solid state drive in it. It's ok, but currently runs windows, and has all the same draw backs as a laptop.

 

The ipad would presumably have the "instant-on" feature of the ipod, have touch screen.. and have a generally more user friendly interface than a keyboard and mouse set up.

 

In my opinion, it really comes down to what you want to do with it. I think the ipad would work much better for me at times than the netbook would.

 

For me, I don't think it is worth the first asking price though, and Flash would be a feature I would want before buying it.

 

Just to call people apple fan boys.. *turn on southpark mr jefferson voice* "you guys are just ignorant!!!"

Wait wait... it took apple how long to have "copy and paste" on the iphone? lol

 

I wonder if this thing has it. Who knows. if it was $250... I would consider it... but not for that much.

fwiw, the price of this tablet is very competitive. Everyone was expecting this thing to be 800+ dollars to START.

 

Right now it's a little more then a netbook but cheaper then a laptop which is where it wants to be. If I didn't already have a PC desktop and mac laptop, I would be jumping on this.
