Apple Tablet

[Jase]

an ipod touch too big for your pocket

a computer too weak to stand on its own

Yet somehow it will sell like hotcakes.

I can see it being huge in the medical field

Apple has a propensity for revolutionary items. This doesn't seem like it will happen over night (i.e., the iPod), but it does have the making of a legend feel. Think how easy it will be to catch up on the news. Print media will forever be gone if Apple does this right. With the ability to read book too, iPad seems like it has the tools. We'll see in the long run though. I, for one, am very interested. It would be perfect for me.

The possibilities are endless. However, the medical field has probably seen this type of product for years. Nothing new to them.

Eh, I don't think so. Not unless everyone buys one--which I'm not, and I'd bet there are at least a few people like me.

Not buying into it, or commenting on something so see through..........

Enjoy............

seriously though apple constantly makes products like this with absolutely no commercial appeal just to figure out how to make poo

about 8 people total bought their cube when it first came out, but they used everything they learned about cooling processors from that destruction to build their laptops.

the ipod was just a proving group for the iphone

their new touchpad mouse is a proving ground for their next gen iphone which has a touch sensitive case.

god only knows what this will turn in to but it better be cool

Regardless of if you do buy one now or not, print media is already declining, and this is just another step in that direction.

See, now, I just don't know it this is true. Besides, the rise of one technology does not denote the fall of another.

State of the art Tablet pc: Good idea.

Ipad: Terrible terrible execution.

Biggest offenses:

- No USB ports (seriously, wtf).

- No Multitasking (i can't listen to music and surf the web at the same time, wtf)

- Doesn't support Flash (moronic, but not the least bit surprising)

- No expandable memory (super fuging retarded, especially when combined with no USB)

- AT&T (anyone who has ever attempted to use AT&T's 3G is well aware of the problems)

- It's lacks the speed and functionality of significantly cheaper netbooks, that can be used on real 3G networks.

- App Store and always on universal DRM (Apple has the ability to remove/lock anything on your device at any time, without asking).
