I don't want one. That display looks horrible in that last picture.

 

Excessive doesn't even begin to describe it. Is it supposed to be like Mac's overpriced version of a thinkpad or something?

 

I'm not an Apple person but in the end what does this really do that an iphone/ipod touch doesn't do? Is it just a bigger screen?...which to me looks like it could make it clunky for everyday use.

It looks cool though. :lol:

 

haha

 

if i had $900 for a kick *** conversation piece for my coffee table, i'd jump on it.

 

youll have to wear one of these

 

Think of it as a netbook replacement/competitor.

It can run "deluxe" apps that wouldn't work on the iPhone due to size constraints. Like iWork.

 

I wasn't expecting much for a Rev A iPad version but I'm still going to get one.

 

It's also supposed to be a competitor for the kindle. That is why the screen is so large, for e-books. Apple wants to sell hardcovers for 13-15 and papperbacks for 10. Essentially they want to wreck Amazon's ****.

 

I see nothing revolutionary about it. Its just a big I-touch.
For that price you can get a fully functioning tablet pc with a real os.

 

Oh ****! Mr Jobs you can have my wallet and PIN number.

 

Apple is kind of like Nintendo; they can pretty much print money by coming out with stuff that isn't really much different than their predecessor. But at least Apple's stuff are a lot cooler IMO.

 

I thought an Ipad was what people from Boston call the ipod...

 

this guys says its best about the new iPad

Possibilities are endless because the hardware is restrictive. It's not like you can run Crysis 2 on it. :tongue2:

 

hush you! :tongue2:

Could you run Crysis 2 on a netbook anyways? Just curious here since I don't own a netbook.

 

No flash...no multi tasking or tabs. In other words...it would serve me no purpose.

 

Or for $800 you could buy yourself a brand new laptop! Which provides 100% the functions of a regular PC!

 

for that money I'd just buy a regular laptop. And the name is terrible. Why not just call it the iTampon? or was that already taken?

 

Um.... no.

 

When the hell did you become a Mac enthusiast?

I've pretty much decided that Apple could probably take a rock, paint it white or jet black, and call it the "iRock" and sell it for $200... and people would buy it.

 

Will it have divx support?

because that's the one factor that pisses me off most about Apple products and the iphone.

 

I don't disagree that the thing will probably be popular. I have a Mac and love it, I have an iPod touch and love it. I just don't see where this fits in, so I'll have to wait and see more of Apple marketing to tell if I'll need it :). I'm not giving up my phone, it's too big to carry like my iPod, so what does it do that I can't get with a small laptop?

 

But the iPhone still doesn't support Divx, which pisses me off immensely. They force you to convert all of your videos to mpeg4, which is a royal pain in the but. It's so easy to just allow it. I'll never understand why they don't

 

I have an IPhone and an IPod.

For me I really do not see the use for this product. We have a netbook and a laptop at home so I would not use it to access the internet.

And I already use the laptop and XBox 360 for my games and IPod for music. What will make me buy this?

 

So Mor works for Apple?

 

no flash
no usb
no OS

No Thanks.

 

sooo,all this does is let you read books?oh and surf the web?and look like a douche when you put away your laptop(which i've found does a remarkable thing in letting me read books,e-mail and surf the web oh and play w.o.w)and i-phone to pull this out to read? it's too friggin big for my liking and doesnt do enough to not need to carry my laptop,phone.where to put this thing while on the go as another poster stated it doesnt fit in a pocket unless you are dressed like a clown and have really,really big pockets..it may fit in a man purse/fanny bag but im not wearing one of those in public.imo epic fail.
