apple just unveiled the ipad..[views:4600][posts:58]____________________________________ [Jan 27,2010 1:22pm - arilliusbm ""] ... And I must admit, it looks nice. It's a giant iPhone looking thing but has HD tv capability etc. But, conservationist is right. it's almost as gay as opeth |

| ______________________________________ [Jan 27,2010 2:02pm - Alx at work ""] And I'm guessing the battery isn't replaceable by mere mortals and also like the iphone, doesn't support multitasking. |

| ________________________________ [Jan 27,2010 2:24pm - xmikex ""] It's cool but it's a lot of, hai guise we steam rolled the iPhone and quadrupled the price. I can say quite comfortably that I will never be able to afford this as long as it's still relevant. |

| ______________________________________ [Jan 27,2010 3:11pm - the_reverend ""] Funny that you are complaining abou that while using a computer or cellphone to post on a webpage. oh the ironing. TheRidersofDoom's new profile pic [img] |
| _________________________________________ [Jan 27,2010 3:34pm - TheRidersofDoom ""] actually I look more neolithic than that. but all in all, I am mostly against useless profitable for companies technology...like cell phones, the quality still sucks on them. computers on the other hand are useful. |
| ____________________________________ [Jan 27,2010 4:11pm - arilliusbm ""] 500-800 bucks for these? |
| ___________________________________ [Jan 27,2010 6:15pm - arktouros ""] blessed%20offal said:30 years ago technology was progress, now it seems to be nothing but regression. Yep....there's a big difference between consumer electronics (Apple) and real technology. This thing is useless. |

| ___________________________________ [Jan 28,2010 9:13pm - arktouros ""] The worst thing about this is it's entirely DRM-controlled. It's literally a step backward for computing. And there's people out there that will buy it not even knowing what it does, or that it has a monthly fee. |
| _________________________________________________ [Jan 28,2010 9:19pm - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] It has a monthly fee?!?! |
| _________________________________ [Jan 28,2010 9:24pm - RustyPS ""] I think it only has a monthly fee if you get constant connectivity for it through a cell phone company (I think I heard Verizon will be the provider)....I could be wrong though |
| ____________________________________ [Jan 28,2010 10:14pm - arktouros ""] AT&T will charge $30/month to use their 3G network, you can use it on wifi otherwise. |

| _________________________________ [Jan 29,2010 6:10am - reimroc ""] This piece of shit ipad is more proof that Apple blows and has no clue what they're doing. iPad is nothing more than a giant ipod touch with the same exact capabilities(including the fact the platform is closed to 3rd part software). The only difference is the ipad as a giant screen. Oh and the lowest price point is $499 LOL |
| ______________________________________ [Jan 29,2010 9:01am - the_reverend ""] I wanted more snow leopards! I love those things. best defense is a good offense I always say. The more I read about this, the more it looks like a lump of turd, but the more I'm convinced it will sell like wild. |

The more I read about this, the more it looks like a lump of turd, but the more I'm convinced it will sell like wild. most retard yuppies and hipsters will most likely be suckered into buying one since its the cool, newest, hippest thing to have not fit in your pocket. |
| ______________________________________ [Jan 29,2010 9:43am - the_reverend ""] Well, I would love one of them if they did what I originally thought they did. I'm about to buy a $2K laptop (it's got to last me 5 years) and I don't want to always carry it with me. I was thinking that a 10" tablet like this to do some ssh'ing, some emailing, and some other java applications would rule. $500 to not always drag around my lappy would be great. but this thing sucks. |
| _________________________________ [Jan 29,2010 9:53am - reimroc ""] it would be more appealing if it had more functionality and a lower price point. |
| _________________________________ [Jan 29,2010 9:54am - reimroc ""] a lower price point will never happen because its apple but i definitely expected this to have more functions than just literally being a novelty sized ipod touch. |
| ____________________________________ [Jan 29,2010 9:58am - arilliusbm ""] Don't worry. Just like the iPod, in 3 years apple will have a much "better" functioning ipad that's smaller... Oh, wait. |
| __________________________________ [Jan 29,2010 10:00am - reimroc ""] lol you just reminded me of something aril. it seems like we're going forwards in technology but backwards in asthetics. remember when cell phones were the sizes of bricks? LOL |

| _______________________________________ [Jan 29,2010 12:17pm - sxealex nli ""] its just a huge ipod touch whats the all the shit talk about? did you think it would be cheaper? Apple always sells new shit for a billion dollars... the iphone used to be 600 buck WITH a plan remember? Not condoning this by any means but i dunno wtf we would do with a 9.7 inch 1024*768 hand operated tablet running the Finder. It would be impossible to use. Also wtf is this multitasking bs. You can multitask on it its os x with a new interface... Itunes runs in the bg while u browse etc etc... I agree that program management needs changing but that will change with the 4.0 os update. Also this has the fastest mobile device chip on the market atm I just question its stability. Wait for the 2nd or 3rd revision if you are considering this. I on the other hand am happier with a tiny screen on my iphone. |
| _______________________________________ [Jan 29,2010 12:19pm - sxealex nli ""] ps if were apple i would have waited a bit to release this but we all know they can take this shit talk and then get ahead in the end by screwing the rich fanboys 1st |
| ______________________________________ [Jan 29,2010 12:46pm - xanonymousx ""] i wonder if i'll get one of these for free. |
| _______________________________________ [Jan 29,2010 1:20pm - Alexecutioner ""] i doubt you will get one for free, they stopped doing that when they gave out the first iphone to their employees and havent done much of that since. What store do you work at? |
| ____________________________________ [Jan 29,2010 1:57pm - porphyria ""] STILL no flash support and the obvious, no camera facing the user to support video chat. |
