Hater

 

[konceptG]

they couldn't come up with a better name??? iPad sounds like digital Kotex...

I expect Mac zealots to immediately spooge their pants and declare it the best thing since sex was invented

Hater #2

DUDE $499!

Hater #2

DUDE $499!

dude...

$300 for a Netbook with 1GB of ram, 160-250GB hard drive, WiFi+3G Cel modem, a REAL OS, not a "gadget OS".

Yeah, the digital Kotex has a touch screen, but...


SO

F_CKING

WHAT???

A Netbook runs REAL apps, want the REAL Facebook??? Log into it with IE, Firefox, Opera, or whatever! Wanna play REAL games??? Do it on a netbook. Wanna use REAL productivity software??? Do it on a netbook!! This thing is nothing more than a iPod Touch that you can't put in your pocket!

 

[thedreampolice]

umm did you watch the videos or learn anything about it?

You can login with Safari if you want to use facebook but I actually like my iphone app better anyway, and you can use iwork for productivity. So you are ignorant on this one. Sorry man

 

[7thangel]

lol

better insure that shit, shit looks fragile


it must come with a case to protect the screen and the mandatory murse to carry it.

^^^ See that??? Multi-touch screen, functions as a tablet AND a netbook/laptop, and all the little crap that the iPad has. NOTHING the iPad has is NEW! Even the processor isn't unique! Cyrix made a processor just like it called the MediaGX way back in 1997 which was also used in the Casio Cassiopea Fiva tablet PC.

Steve Jobs is making a new wave of iZealots with this one. Because Apple said it's cool, y'all believe it's cool.

Naw I agree, the name is stupid..lol....and Im a supporter of Apple of products....

 

[thedreampolice]

Yes but now Apple has made one that has a good user experience and works properly, tablets stylus's suck and you know it!

I had to use one for about a year and ended up using it like a laptop for most of that time.

 

[7thangel]

umm, how do you know that if it hasn't been released yet?

 

[thedreampolice]

Well they have a 100% track record so far. I have to ask has anyone else watched the videos yet/

 

[dahkter]

Why carry around a giant iPad when the iTouch does the same exact thing?

What if you want to run real software (Adobe CS3, MS Office, etc) and not just apps...

If I could throw it in a bag with a Serato box and go to the club, yes, I 'd be impressed, I just don't get why it's such a crippled piece of gear. Why not a single USB or Firewire Port? Why still no Adobe Flash support?

It really seems like a rushed product to me...

I can honestly see you doing something like that.



And... just having to buy a keyboard separately increases the cost of the whole thing. The Asus tablet/netbook is a FAR better deal.

 

[thedreampolice]

Ha ha nice. And this one is you

For real through its all good.

I will buy an ipad when it comes out and use it to show my work to my clients. Tablets are the future of computing you can bet on that.

Trying to convince Apple to be more open is like trying to fly a hot air balloon to the moon.

 

[7thangel]

oh wait, this time apple version actually comes cheaper (but then again it doesn't come with os-x)
