The Apple iPad (Tablet/Slate Device)

[Colonel Mitch]

FINALLY SOMEONE GETS IT

It's an iTouch sized up, and costs $499 for a 16GB HDD. WHAT THE FUCK!?

Apple really fucked this up, it's a useless, overpriced glitchy and heavy bit of hardware that anyone who already has an iPhone should lol at, and everyone who doesn't have an iPhone should lol at harder.

Glorified iTouch/iPhone with no real world application.

All this is true - and it will STILL sell like hotcakes regardless because its made by apple....

SIGH

Tbh I think we forgot something...its aimed at Americans :S

I think it's lacking so many key functions because they'll just include them in v2/3 of the device.

Apple always does things like that, as we've seen with copy/paste, 3G etc on the iPhone.

It's damn annoying, but everyone will have a small craving for the device once it's gone through a few iterations.

this

The retail consumer doesn't matter either since business's will have contracts en masse already for it just because they want to look good in front of other partners/clients so it will sell fine.

Damn you Vox, i was just gonna go on b3ta.com to find that image.


Tbh yawn at all this minimalist rectangle shit, dunno who had the amazing idea to snap a laptop in half.

[Target]

How annoying is it going to be to have to constantly hold it to watch or browse the internet, wheras my laptop can sit on the desk without me holding it

[D_K_Head]

it's for people who love sci-fi and...

That's about it actually.

[Vicious Horizon]

correction: It's for people who like sci-fi but can't afford a transparent OLED screened laptop, but still has money to waste on shit.

Hahaha that's ipad vs blu-tack chart is utter win. I won't be buying this until there is at least multitasking, a webcam and HDMI out. A larger HDD wouldn't be missed either .

Hopefully Apple now knows that their new device isn't actually that amazing.

[Target]

no they don't chalex as milliona of stupid americans will have already bought it. They'll release a new one nxt year with a few more features and prob another one after that which will actually have some more than make it worth buying one or at least give you an excuse to waste your money on it
