This thread obviously wasent started so that people can Hate on Apple and the iPad. I obviously am excited... And if your not, go somewhere else.
And if you dont at least think its a cool product you probably have never touched one or have the money to buy one! Mods can close this thread now, thanks loosers. D |

Sure, the iPad seems "neat", but to any tech junkie, it's a big disappointment due to Apple's refusal to include features that would work so well on it. It's something that Apple does a lot, but they get away with it because people will buy "neat" stuff just so they can tell their friends that they "got the iPadzz lolz OMGGG!!!one1!!", or maybe just so they can start a neat thread on their neat forum so everyone can S each others' D's because they all have iPads and therefore are cooler than everyone else. No one was hating here. If you want the opinions of people who work with this stuff for a living (meaning computers and high-tech gadgets), be prepared for views that may not parallel yours. To say that I've probably never touched one or don't have the money to buy one, I think you're just reinforcing what I said above. I have played with one, and did find it "neat"; however, like many others, it left a lot to be desired in the FUNCTIONAL category. This is important to some people. I don't buy electronics as status symbols (you obviously do); I buy them so that I can enjoy them while they are functioning to fit my wants/needs (which don't include impressing strangers), so I couldn't give two shits if it's "neat". And, by the way, your mom is "looser"; I'm a "loser". Lurn 2 spehl. Thanks. |

They knew there was a 3G model. The WiFi only models are $499, $599, and $699. The WiFi+3G are $629, $729, and $829. We all knew this model structure since January. Current owners don't have anything dated. They just decided they didn't need 3G so they went with the WiFi only models.

You realize that a Netbook is much better than an iPad at a cheaper price? http://www.eatliver.com/i.php?n=5302 You're in the IT industry, but can't recognize these facts? The iPad has not changed anything in the personal computing world. It is nothing revolutionary. The products that will be coming out by HP and Microsoft could be worthwhile, however. |

Also, I was not comparing the iPad to anything else like a netbook, even though it is faster, and easier to use. It is a different type of device. Anyway, Im excited to get mine, and its interesting that people who dont want one feel the need to bash it or compare it to other not like products! But it is what it is. I know Ill love mine and use it ever day. D |

Ignorance is bliss huh? You couldn't be more wrong. If you want to at least get it right, try saying the iPhone is a limited, stripped down iPad. At least you'll sound like you know what you are talking about.

Man, so much anger over such a simple post. The guy's just pumped that the 3G iPad is coming out, good for him. I don't have one, but think it's a great product. And btw, Apple bringing this out after the original iPad release is not an attempt to screw people. It was well known that it was coming out later, so nobody should feel duped.

Microsoft has canceled their plans to release a competitor, and HP's roadmap is on hold until the Palm deal is done. Quote:

It'll be a great device for some people. I'm just not one of those. If they'd pack it with features which would get me to consider obsoleting my laptop completely, I'd be on board. Until then, it's just not something I'd consider. Yeah the release timeline was clear. People who bought the 3G-less iPad knew there was a 3G version coming out, or at least they should have. |

It's much more portable than a netbook. Thin, light, doesn't benefit from being on a desk, and the battery life is unbelievable. It's really the device between a laptop and smartphone. Whether you need that in-between device depends on how you use computers daily. One thing it it's really great for is drawing/sketching. I have a Cintiq, and I'd rather use the iPad for casual drawing. Being able to take it anywhere makes it a perfect digital sketchbook.

When I describe what I think the iPad "should be", I'm painting an image of what it would take for me to bite on the device (even though it differs greatly from what Apple thinks the iPad "should be"). For me, there's no reason to get it. I think we're making the same point from different sides of the issue. But I think with how advanced smart phones are getting, along with how small and remedial netbooks are getting, there's really less and less space for a niche in between the laptop and the smart phone. This gap is closing as time goes on.... So, instead of having three devices to suit my needs, I can do just fine with a laptop and a phone. I don't know if I'll ever really want anything in between. |

I had a chance to play around with the iNapkin, it felt incredibly similar to an iphone except in size and the only thing that i liked (and liked a lot) was an app that showed you the layout of an F1 circuit and the cars live position around it/ times/ positions during a race.
But iam a bit more smarter than jumping on every new fad these days. The iphone and Macbook will do me fine.
