EPTI was watching the video from apple site and those engineers make me wanna lick the iPad in a heart beat (just like the uni-body frame of the macbook). Never trust a sale man.

Apple development guy: I know how we can make a shit load of money and skip all development expenses. Oh and before I forget, someone take that oversized paper ipod we used as commercial out of the trashcan think of a name and hand it over to Jobs im going home | ||

The way I see it is: It is like an electronic book, goes in your backpack (I guess they would have to make it a bit more robust). You can take your notes on it, write papers, basically like a really sleek netbook, that maybe is a lot less powerful, but definitely quicker and easier to use. Basically, a student's best friend, keeping his/her backpack lighter, having a tool that has extensive possibilities. Quick, down-to-earth (not in price) laptop. In its current state, it would be something that you would probably leave at home, to browse the net (or TL), while sitting on a couch watching TV, or next to your bed. Generally it is not much more useful than that, especially outside of your house. What are you doing on-the-go that requires a bigger screen than an iPhone? | ||

I see the tablet leaving much to be desired, but it honestly wouldn't take much to make it amazing. Also the name Ipad is terrible. iTablet sounds soooooo much better. | ||

the lack of multitask, camera, Flash, USB port/SD card slot. I think everyone's really forgetting what you might use a device like this for. This is an incredibly sleek device for viewing/consuming media (including e-books), browsing the web (albeit without flash, means no livestream! T.T), gaming, and maybe minor office suite activities. In this scenario, multitask in honestly not all that useful; having a document and the web open at the same time is nice, yes, but i can't imagine using a tablet device with no dedicated keyboard for anything more than a quick edit. Camera would be nice for something like video chat, but it's not something that's really necessary. The lack of both a USB port and Flash is just kind of silly; Apple's stubbornness is definitely at play there. I think, though, that the iPhone OS is the premier interface for an input method based on touch, much more so than Windows 7 or Mac OSX at the moment. | ||

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 As an apple 'fan' (I like to think I can still be objective about their stuff), I am very underwhelmed by the iPad. I think bluewolf summed up my thoughts quite nicely: On January 28 2010 04:56 [-Bluewolf-] wrote: The question is: for $500+ dollars, what can this do that a laptop cannot? Sure, it may be thinner, but both of them require one to lug them around (ie. they don't fit in your pocket). | ||
