This thing is fucking hilarious

Huge bezel and ugly design
No front camera
No flash
No handwriting recognition
No multitasking/Same old iPhone OS
No removable storage support
No native PDF support

It's literally just a big Ipod touch, it's the dumbest thing I have ever seen

It's an expensive, slightly faster iPhone that can't call. There is absolutely nothing innovative about it, except that they're charging close to $1000, for something that's less powerful than some Netbooks. The Microsoft Courier/HP Slate are going to crush this thing.

Courier is vaporware by now

Slate looks better in comparison by far imo, and would most likely be a ton more powerful. However, in terms of what the iPad can actually do, it can probably perform those tasks better than Slate (at least, the experience I bet would be better).

Its a waste of money, you're blowing off extra $$ for an oversized itouch.

I thought this was a really funny prank to pull, especially to mess with all these blogs who go gaga over this stuff. Should have waited till april 1st though ahaha.

Does anyone know when they are showing the real one?

if this is indeed an oversized iPhone/iPod Touch it is worth getting. Here's a reason why and Apple totally missed out on it.

Apple should have made a comparison of the iPad to a laptop and make a point that there's no waiting to start and shut down. It's all in a press of a button to turn on/off with no loading time.

iPhone users know what I am talking about. If this device can simulate the features of the iPhone and allow web-browsing capabilities of a notebook, I'm definitely going to replace my netbook with an iPad.

For all the answers you need on what a fail this product is/going to be, just look at the Digg comments here:

I originally thought this was a graphics tablet/screen hybrid meant to compete with Wacom, but evidently I was wrong.

Fuck it.

you guys are missing one huge detail: its an Apple product. Apple fans are going to go crazy for this thing, buy it and convince everyone around that its the best thing since sliced bread.

I bet this thing will be successful, just because its Apple.. even though it looks like a huge (flat) pile of shit

Does it support ebooks or whatever like a kindle? I would possibly get this when it is hacked to dl books on. Would love to read comic books on it if it were possible.

However, I would likely wait until the next generation no matter what.

One of the most retarded 'innovations' I've ever seen, but par for the course considering it's Apple. I'm sure plenty of hipsters will buy it with their parents' money. The parody Macbook Wheel seems somewhat likely to roll out soon at this rate.

Tablet PCs are of significant functional importance to medical professions and artists, particularly graphics designers. To date, most tablet PCs have horrible processors and are very weak; to that end the Apple product is a big step forward.


the fuck?
you're saying HP tablets and Thinkpad tablets have relatively horrible processors, and this is a big step forward?

This thing is a fucking joke...

Instead of spending spending so much money on a giant iPod touch people should just buy a notebook.... Definitely don't buy -.-
