Steve jobs thinks it is "way better than a laptop, way better than a phone. It's the best web experience you've ever had." Whatever. Too big to fit in pocket. Not as useful as a laptop. What is the purpose of this thing? To browse internets on the sofa? Use a laptop. To browse internets on the train? Use smartfone. To browse internets in starbucks? BINGO. The name is awful. Is it for ladies only? I like how Ipad and Ipod are one letter apart. A letter than can only be a vowel. That won't cause confusion and typos... So come on fanboys, come and tell me how wrong I am, how apple have created a must have gadget. Oh and someone tell me wtf you're supposed to use it for. |

I like Apple and don't hate PCs. What's wrong with me? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
omg. ignore that. |

iPad sounds like a New Yorker trying to talk about Apple's flagship product. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
can't believe they chose iPad... i thought iSlate sounded much better |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
iSlate. too easy. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm waiting for the iBrush. If that isn't already a thing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm starting to get infatuated with iBingo as a name. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it would appear its actually already |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the thing i want to know about it is whether you can tether it to your laptop running ableton live and use the ipad for launching clips like with a lemur, apc or launch pad. that would be supremely cool. |
||||||||
|

ahhahaaaa spot on. |

i've made a simple control-thing on my iphone using touchosc and osculator, but its a bit too small to really get into it. that setup will work for anything that takes osc or or midi, so you're all set to go. i'm getting one of these just for that basically plus porn on this should be decent |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if you want to remove chatting,web,entertainment from your desktop PC or laptop and reserve it for the ipad it seems like a good deal |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
aside from that, just seems like a toy / tech accessory / hi-tech coffee table item |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so its just a big iphone. whoopee fuck. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

imo its for 'quick computing' if im in bed, on the sofa, or wherever instead of having to open the netbook i can just touch the screen. it's much more inviting and easier.. everyday i check my email in bed on the ipod touch and its great. and i do watch movies sometimes on it, but with this i definitiely will. its not really supposed to replace netbooks or smartphones, its its own concept, and i guess its not for everyone, but for those who like it love it. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
"but for those who like it love it. " how can you say that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
If he's too lazy to "open a netbook", I doubt he will have taken the effort to think before typing. I guess that's "quick computing" for you. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah whenever i open my netbook i usually have a breather before logging in. its hard work, you know. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

i am in total agreement here. it uses a proprietary operating system that still doesn't let you multitask, it uses a stupid SIM card that isn't used anywhere else other than with AT&T by the look of it. as far as i can see, the only people that this will cater to is Apple fanboys (and i used to be one). and most Apple fanboys have either: a MacBook, in which case they could get the same use out of an iPhone or an iPhone, in which case if they get the iPad one of the devices is made redundant almost completely. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
made redundant almost completely. i'm sure the cynic in you is one step ahead :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

why the harsh comments? i think it looks pretty cool. it doesnt have the complete freedom of the netbook, nor the portability of a smartphone, so its sort of a lifestyle device. you do it for the experience and the progression. im not exactly sure how portable this is, but i know i use my ipod touch all the time, and the thing that ipad can take over is videos, games, and web browsing. oh and now it takes over the kindle as well. if it feels right to take it out with me and use it as a portable audio player then i dont see how this isnt all winner. if not, i use it at home and when on longer trips, and use my ipod to the store. |

you might pull a muscle touching the on button |
||||||||
|

lol cmon, theres very little chance of that happening. its something to think about tho i agree |

Apple has become a parody of itself. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
actually, e-book readers (including kindle) use a different screen technology without backlighting so they don't strain your eyes. by the looks of it this ipad still has some form of lcd screen. |
||||||||

cx, are you the Stephen Hawkins of IDM world? You both should stop being lazy and do something for Gods sake. |
||||||||

The only way Steve Jobs sincerely believes this crippled tripe is better than any other laptop or netbook is if he is still too weak from his liver transplant to actually pry open a laptop. |

I don't understand this "quick computing" bullshit. "Less clicks" and "faster startup" are touted as features on Windows 7 - But I'm on Windows XP, the only time I've been laboured by too many mouseclicks is through websites and not through the interface of the OS. Are hipsters today too weak to click their way through 3 pages? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
who is Stephen Hawkins? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
He's a guy who would have died if he would have been British under the NHS. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ha, I just noticed the typo. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah I guess the kindle isn't completely dead. But I dunno about you I can stare at a monitor for quite awhile, and if I turn down the brightness even longer.. Jivver: What does that mean? I am lazy by design. |
||||||||

Hipsters cant be bothered with waiting for start up times and physically interacting with tactile buttons. Their energy and time is better spent discussing Animal Collective, Lomo Cameras and the art of properly adding patina to vintage running shoes. The iPad is right up there alley. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
Haha! I'm typing on my iPad so don't blame me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I just meant a touch screen is faster and feels better than a keyboard + mousepad. I know this from my usage of the iPod. In the morning I just slide the slider across and click the email button. On a netbook or laptop I have to open the case, wait for the screen to load, use the mousepad to browse to the icon for email client, or login to webmail.. I'm not saying this is too hard to do, I'm just saying a touch screen is a different experience. Plus, you all are ignoring how awesome and minority report like the whole thing is. Welcome to the future.. |

"Typing on your iPad" sounds fucking disgusting. Stop that! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"In the morning I just slide the slider across and click the email button." This reads like a bloody Apple advertisement. Everything just works! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I guess this is what it comes down to. You just hate on a specific type of personality stereotype, not the actual product. I'm as far away from 'hipster' as one can come, I still think the iPad/ipod/iphone are awesome. I don't care if apple made it or someone else, so I'm not an apple fanboy, I just love the futurism of the technology and the practical applications. But yeah I won't deny that there is a certain coolness factor to it and this also counts to me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The hipsters discuss Animal Collective so your energy time is better spent bitching about them? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't know about any of you, but all I can do on my Windows computer is experience crashes and masturbate over different spreadsheets and graphs. I wish I had an Apple product, they're the only way to be creative and friendly and fun. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah maybe and what the fuck is wrong with that? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You are where fun goes to die |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
My spreadsheet actually correlated a direct inverse fun to death ratio. You're right. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It sounded like cx style erotica to me. I peel my face of the spunk stained pillow and lower my finger hard, even rudely across my on button. |
