Maybe in a couple of years when it is half price and twice the power. I do love my iPhone and MacBook though.

Anybody else? Let me get this straight... you have the iPhone... so you're going to go buy an iPhone that can't fit in your pocket, doesn't make calls, and it's more expensive? Why?

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. |

The Ipad looks like a giant piece of shit. If you want to actually get shit done get a little Eeepc/macbook(if you must have an apple). But I do want to see someone modify/hack one so they have a giant Iphone
 Its just another stupid toy that people are gonna get killed for. |

I would probably wait a bit for the issues to be worked out. |

Getting one asap. Only because I use my iPhone to browse online while in bed and its too damn small. All I want is a bigger iPhone. Voila, iPad - just like a big iphone, without the phone part.

I won't pronounce it a failure until it's available for sale.
Apple seems to be on a roll with the iPod, then iPhone. MacAir not so much but this seems to be a device for media and when we see all the ways they've figured out to connect to media with this it might be pretty good to fabulous.

As a big Apple fan, and one of the crazy people who was in line for 11 hours to get my iPhone on opening day, I'm not terribly impressed. Im considering a Win7 netbook instead(after I upgrade to the latest MacBook Pro anyhow).
The iPad needs: Built-in memory card slot. For both camera downloads and extra OS storage. Flash. Motherfucking Adobe Flash. Right fucking now. And the next iPhone needs it too. With the iPad's fancy CPU there is no excuse. E-ink display would be handy, but I don't know enough about that technology to say much. I'm really annoyed at Apple's hidden battery fetish, too. I can think of more, but I'm typing this on my iPhone at work and I need to get busy. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

Looks interesting though a bit pricey. I'm curious to see the reviews after it's been out a couple of months. Wish it had more interfaces. There will be a lot more iPad type devices in the next couple of years. I wouldn't be in such a hurry to dismiss it outright.....the Droid is selling well and it only exists because the iPhone exists, but I expect more affordable competeing devices will show up eventually. There's a huge market for people who're only interested in surfing/email/games. The netbooks are cheaper but still a little bulkier (not length and width, but height and are folding device). The iPad offers a simple, flat device, great size for travelling, they're offering what appears to be a nice protective case that will slip easily into a backpack or even a large purse, so there's definitely a convenience factor. The price is the biggest turnoff for me, I can't justify spending that kind of money for what it does so don't see myself buying one, but looks interesting. |

Somewhat similar to the Ipad but ideal for me:
I use this mininotebook for a couple of things. Browsing in my livingroom on the couch (in stead of using a pc in another room). Watching downloaded movies via WiFi- Network - External Harddisk - other PC. It is light, has a batteryendurance of 4 hours. Integrated WiFi and Bluetooth and Touchscreen. You can use a small stylus to use the touchscreen and the styles can be stored in the nootbook. You can not use this laptop for work, because the keyboard is absolutely too small. For work you need something different, but for what I need it for, it's excellent. Newer versions have multitouch and Windows 7, mine runs on XP. Excellent machine...
