What does it do that my iPod Touch won't do? weigh more? Not fit in your pocket? Cost more? Look at websites without constantly having to zoom in and zoom out. My laptop does that just fine and it has more functionality I would hope so. I was just pointing out a thing it does better than an iPod touch. The iPad is something that people are either going to love or hate. No one is going to convince me that I should get a netbook instead, and I'm sure never going to convince any of the iPad haters that it's better than a netbook for some people. |

I've been waiting for that thing for years and like most everyone I was pretty disappointed in it. The only niche I can see for it is that it has a useable size screen and I can carry it in my purse. That might be reason enough for me to buy one, but I'm not familiar with the iPhone OS so I'm waiting to get my hands on one to decide.

Im getting my wife one for her birthday. She reads a lot of e-books and she wants to be able to have it on the couch to look things up on the internet. It looks a lot better for reading her books while lying on the couch or bed than a netbook.

Jane I expected that it would be since I've never had any problem with OSX. I don't understand the crack about the purse though. I wasn't planning on carrying it in my little black velvet evening clutch, but I have a half dozen purses suitable for use with either casual clothes or business wear that it will fit in just fine.

Talk about niche I think it's a great little device for casual internet use, such as email or mindlessly surfing forums while I watch TV(lack of flash is retarded, though). It looks like it would be more comfortable to use without a desk or tabletop than any laptop. It shouldn't put out any heat.. my laptop gets uncomfortably hot when you actually sit in in your lap. I don't care for tiny netbook keyboards, and the small screens are hard for me to read unless I run some low resolution that makes modern websites look like crap. I don't even look at it in the same light as a netbook/laptop. It obviously wasn't designed to be either of those. It's more like an evolved version of those "internet appliances" that were on the market around 2000 and failed miserably. I think the size of it's niche will be dictated by the apps people make for it. My iPhone does things for me that I never even imagined I would use it for when I first read about the iPhone, some creative app developers are sure to come up with some wild ideas for the iPad which will make people see it in an entirely different light. |

You can't tether it to the iPhone. However you could wirelessly tether it to the Droid. I find that to be highly entertaining. That fact that it doesn't have flash turned me away. YOU CAN TETHER.. this post is from a tethered laptop via wifi.. You have to jailbreak it. And yes I will be getting an ipad. Y'all are crazy if you don't think apple will sell millions and millions of these things. Wait until the developers get up and running with the thing. It will be amazing. Most people want a computer to do facebook, light surfing, watch movies and look at pretty pictures. For those purposes the ipad will dominate the market. http://i46.tinypic.com/i1ww9k.jpg That is the single most useful iPhone app in existence. I think it was like $10 or so too.

Flash is an outdated, bloated, security hole that needs to go away. The iPad isn't a phone. The iPhone did well because it's a phone and fits in your pocket. I predict the iPad will flop and only the Appleuminati will suck it up. I've had an iPhone for 2+ years. My # 1 and # 2 complaints about it are lack of Adobe Flash and lack of Adobe Flash. Adobe flash will be gone within the next couple of years. Google's already got a flash-free version of youtube, I suspect Hulu and others will begin to follow suit soon enough. I heard Hulu doesn't want to get away from Flash due to the way it encapsulates the media, and secures it from being copied. I have a Roku on the way, and if Hulu videos were available on it, I would cancel my cable tomorrow. |

Since this is primarily being marketed as a better internet surfing device... No Adobe Flash = FAIL Not really. The iphone has done just fine without it.

Quoted: so when is this beast coming out? I need to get my wife something similar to an ipad for her birthday. Needs to be a good reader for ebooks and be able to surf the internet, but she doesnt like the small netbook screens. I think they are looking for a June release. They brought an impressive prototype to CES and had what they claimed was a close to production model at WMC last month. |
