youCan't see how this device is going to change things...


People laughed at the iPod
People laughed at the iPhone

They both changed the landscape of the music and phone market.

I say it is a very brave man that posts in public laughing at this. You might regret your mocking in 12 months.

This is just a little screen to consume content on. Read a few emails, look at some sites, play some games, watch a movie, read a book. It is not for cutting HD. It is not for massive batch photoshop work.

I bet the Kindle team are counting the days until they are all fired.

This is the first batch.... they'll upgrade it, fix it, tweek it out thru the years to come. Don't sell the public the best product right off that bat.... sell 'em crap, then up grade it.

I agree with the iPod comment, but iPhone did absolutely nothing to the mobile phone market. They just play it as if they revolutionized the industry. The only thing worth mentioning is the apps store.

No one else is. They've sold 90 and 15 of them were cancelled or charged back.

If you don't think the app store is revolutionising the mobile phone sector, well, you don't look at the same numbers as me. But you are more then welcome to your opinion.

Do remember Apple was a computer company 3 years ago, with no experience whatsoever in telecomms. To go from scratch to this in 3 years seems fairly revolutionary to me!

[mikke]

somewhere i heard multitasking (run few programs and stay in background) will be in 4.0, but im not sure is it true..

reading comprehension problems, or just looking through my post with apples in your eyes?

Don't mind the fanboys, rumor has it Steve Jobs has a tasty cock. ATM is the fanboy favorite.

[JP513]

This is just the latest in Apple planned obsolescence strategy. Why release something new and overhyped and make it fully featured when all the sheep will buy it even with all the limitations?

They can add more functionality later to keep sales brisk and that's exactly what they will do, just as they did with the iPhone, which, nearly 3 years after introduction, is only this summer going to be something I would consider using.

I love Mac OS, but I'm not sheep. I wait til the product is good.

I didn't see you here revolutionizing the mobile industry 5 years ago. I take it your just a Mac Guy, front running.

I'm thinking that the Ipad is just gonna be another Apple Store like the Iphone where you have to buy every application you need OR am I wrong ?

[dav3]

iCant - use any usb device

[UnUnited]

I think the ipad will be just as popular as the iphone , for the simple fact that the usability of it will be as simple as an iphone or ipod. I think alot of people miss the simplicity of using an apple product and when you mix that with a product that can replace most peoples laptops and desktops ( internet , email , pictures , video ) it will be a huge success. I'm not a huge apple fan but they make things which might seem hard on a PC very easy on their platform. Have you went shopping for a laptop lately , The average person doesn't understand or care about if it's a Pentium, Dual-core , windows 7/vista/xp , How much Ram. They just want something simple , that works.
I wouldn't be surprised if you see an ipad sitting in over 50% of peoples living rooms in the next couple years ,it will be the average persons tool for booking flights , ordering groceries , emailing family , paying bills . etc .I always think if my grand parents told me they wanted a computer to do some simple tasks on it , would you recommend a net book , or an ipad . I'm pretty sure the easiest/best route would be with an ipad.

Never owned any Apple crap, never will. Steve Jobs is the luckiest dumbass in the history of the world. Despite his stupid designs and lame technology, there are enough people who just have to think they are diferent and they will buy his overpriced, underpowered junk, no matter what. Enjoy, sheeple. You paid for his new pancreas, purchased at the expense of others who are less rich. I guess they'll just have to wait their turn, unlike Richie Rich Jobs.

Most people here are looking at it and demanding far more than the ordinary user is ever going to want/need.

i like windows 95

iCan woo the simpleminded Mac zealots. If it's shiny and has an Apple logo on it, those mental midgets will buy it.

I can tell that i have had several pc laptops on my way to mac. Just the day they became more affordable i bought my first macbook pro. For designs things i cant say its too much different, better or worse but as a product it looks much more thinked of and finished. For me the cruicial part its how quiet it is, no noise at all, and being a unibody it feels real great when you carry one, open it and use. I don't know if its enough for YOU but calling it CRAP its a little strange, especially for a man who NEVER used it.

but what it can it does very good....

You can't play the latest computer games on it, can you?

I mean the computer games that simulate real life.

Yup, They did not revolutionize shit for mobile except their own market and how to play the mobile game. But even then there was all of this for windows mobile and java stores that a lot of people used.


All this device specific shit is really pissing me off, All we really want to do is just build a porn WEB SITE.

Fuck nobody needs don't need an app for that...

Dont be an idiot. If it could do that as well as take pics, why would anyone ever pay twice the price and buy a Macbook? For the CD/DVD drive? I think not. Apple is not stupid.

Why would anyone pay twice to buy a big iphone.........with no phone

You are clearly an idiot who has never even seen one in person let alone USED one. Its alot more than an iphone or even ipod touch. You probably secretly wish you could afford one.

[psili]

Regardless of what it can / can't do, Apple's going to sell a shitload of them, because they're a marketing behemoth. And make even more money because it's tied to their app store, as well as the "upgrades" to come down the pipe.

Personally, I don't need or want an iPad (I don't menstruate), and my dell mini serves just fine for portability, as well as being able to angle the screen how I want it regardless of the position I'm in, plus a bunch of other stuff. Regardless of my feelings, the fucker will sell, will sell huge, and people who buy it regardless when there's better alternatives out there (which there will be), will always be able to self-justify their purchase.

a) that is not an explanation of why a large ipod touch is bad

b) if you don't want one, don't get one! Choice, isn't a wonderful thing!

Apple haters amuse me so much.

What most people seem to forget is that there are plenty of other devices just like this already on the market with more to come. Apple isn't changing anything, they're playing the same game as everyone else...they just bring the clout of being Apple to the game.

Most of the upcoming Android tablets have better specs than the iPad and cost about half as much.

An iPod Touch is $200. A bigass ipod touch is $500. In case you haven't found the calculator app on your Mac yet, that's 2.5 times more expensive. That, in my humble opinion, is bad.

You need to get something straight. I am not an Apple hater. I have 2 Macs and an iPod Touch, original iPod and have had an iPhone. I'm on my iMac right now.

A Mac is just a computer. No more, no less. There's nothing spectacular about it other than the marketing. The only thing I hate are the Apple fanboys who get a hard-on for everything their messiah (Steve Jobs) releases. I hate those that vehemently attack people who say anything negative about their precious hardware company.

Opinions are a wonderful thing too. Don't like what I write? Don't read it, hypocrite.

I have used a Mac since day one in this business. I find that the people you mention above are those that just saved up their money and purchased their first Macbook. Those of us that have been using it long enough realize it's just a preference, nothing more...nothing less.
