I've used it... and was very disappointed... It's very unresponsive. The battery sucks... crappy screen...

DamianJ · 01-28-2010, 05:58 AM

You don't get it. The integration with the iTunes Book Store is the key. They specs mean nothing, really.

Just as the iPod PLUS iTMS and the iPhone PLUS the App Store revolutionised those industries, it is the deals apple have done with the publishers that is the coup here, not the actual device.

I agree, but someone should probably talk with Apple´s marketing division - the hype they have been supporting will backfire, when all they have is a fancy kindle... I mean people (well, apple fan boys) were expecting/spreading some major news, and they were let down.

Good device, horrible launch.

I also don't care. Time will tell if it's even going to take off, or just be another Apple TV.

What I find the funniest is how a lot of the media is calling the iPad "Steve Jobs' swan song". I think someone shot the fucking swan.

this guy is probably the smartest ass in here, i applaud. I also thought that from now on ebook readers as you know it will die.

96ukssob · 01-28-2010, 03:33 PM

nothing will be an "iPad" killer unless it allows you to work with iTunes. People have downloaded hundreds to thousands of songs, movies and everything else through iTunes and thats why nothing else can come close to an iPod, iPhone or iPad

bronco67 · 01-28-2010, 03:36 PM

I'm no Apple fan, but I don't know how any Archos product can be compared to an Apple product.

I've owned 2 Archos music players and they were crap.

i just posted that in a separate thread, i shouldve posted it here:

Ravage · 01-28-2010, 04:47 PM

Jobs just left open a huge gap for someone to fill and beat the iPad.

No multi-tasking is huge IMO. Archos may not be the device that challenges the iPad, but it certainly shows the developmental possibility of easily surpassing iPad's shortcomings.
Take the Lenovo U1. If they just sold the tablet portion, no hybrid connectivity to make it a full laptop, I'm sure they could easily challenge the iPad price-point. Plus when you get up to the 64GB version of iPad at $849, you're very close to the touted pricepoint of the full U1.

The iPad is still going to sell millions, don't get me wrong. I just feel that Apple lost out on many sales by not delivering a few things people had hoped for and will look elsewhere.

candyflip · 01-28-2010, 06:54 PM

MSi has a nice on coming soon that will be an Android tablet and has some nice specs.

I'm pretty sure that both these units have been shelved and that HTC has stated that they will be focusing on the smartphone market.

Maybe now that this iPad has debuted, they'll change their minds.

You are not alone. iPad is horribly stupid name as well <insert maxipad joke here>. They will probably sell a ton though since they are still riding the iphone wave.

Dell has one in the works too.

Here's a comparison on a bunch of the different models coming out.

Almost everything Apple develops is a golden egg. The Zune was supposed to be the "Ipod Killer"..... PLEAEEEEEEEEASE.

Mickey_ · 01-29-2010, 10:13 AM

The iPad will be a suitable device for

a. casual internet users with simple needs such as email, browsing, ebooks, listening to music,etc.
b. More advanced users who get their work done on laptops, workstations,etc. These people are very well aware of the iPad's limitations and the device will serve as their secondary device to do basic tasks and read books, newspapers,etc. while lounging on the couch. It's not an expensive gadget, so it won't be a big deal to pick one up a secondary (or 3rd, 4th) device.

Hate it or love it, it will probably be a success. (as most of Apple's products launched in the past few years)
Apple excels at hardware/software design and usability and that is a major factor for many buyers.
