I don't give a fuck about new technology. It's just a larger
iPod toch anyways. Steve Jobs' days are numbered.

...no usb port, no multitasking ... , I can only expect that
sharing content between two of them via wi-fi has got heavy
restrictions also. You got to hand it to Jobs, he knows how
to market average technology, restrict it's full potential
and sell it as cutting edge.

i'll be really, really surprised if this... this.. big ipod
pad thing becomes a success. i mean, c'mon.

i think it will be a bigger success than people realise, it
will completely replace laptops used by casual users, with
each incarnation getting thinner and better. The current
incarnation isn't perfect but I think the aggressive pricing
makes up for that at the moment. Is is only 1st gen
afterall.

it has years old technology. it being 1st gen is hardly an
excuse. it's as if people are expected to keep buying the
next apple product if you want the features that have been
available on other devices for ages.

500 bucks for a device that lacks a number of essential
features by todays standards is inexcusable.

we're not talking next generation here. we're talking about
this particular product, right now in 2010.

i'm not convinced. but that may just be me.

considering the equivalent you could buy for the money its a
joke, but do you really think that will put people off? this
is a lifestyle product first, and a technology product
second.

my eyes would burn reading a book on an lcd screen... the
e-ink is the way to go for that, although i think newspapers
and magazines will find a new lease of life on the iPad.

its lacking too many things at the moment, in a few years it
will be an excellent device but not right now, shame because
like you say, the technology is already here.

then again the iPhone wasn't exactly brilliant when it first
came out

seems everyone who had their hands on it used the word
'fast' several times in one sentence when describing it.

i want one, i want one, i want it now.

"...but let's make no mistake, for many people buying a Mac
and other Apple products like the iPod is more about fashion
than functionality. You could often if not always get
devices with absolutely comparable capabilities (or even
superior functionality) for less money than the one with the
Apple logo on it."
