:o

will anybody be here getting this? i doubt i personally will, but it'll be interesting to see if this can do to the tablet market what the ipod and the iphone did to the mp3 player and phone markets. everything apple has touched in the last few years seems to have turned to gold.

I doubt I will get an iPad, it looks fascinating though.

Seems really neat, but I don't think I will be getting one. I am a fan of Apple products though :)

Perhaps in the near future I'll try and get one, definitely can't right now though haha. It looks fantastic though, very exciting news from Apple.

I'm about to buy a Macbook Pro so I definitely won't be picking this up. I definitely like the idea, especially for movies.

^ lol.


Looks pretty cool. I wouldn't really have a need for it, I usually only listen to music with handheld apple products. In addition, I'm pretty content with watching movies, etc, on my iPod Touch.

Just another stupid gadget to drool over. I can hardly see these being practical for anybody, especially since it comes with the usual "they'll buy it anyway" price tag.

This is the first Apple event in quite a while that I really didn't get excited about. I love Apple stuff, but I just don't see this as being very practical.

I just watched the 15 minute youTube video about this.

Browse your pictures... The iPod touch can do this.
Built in calendar... The iPod touch has this.
Watch videos... the iPod touch can do this.
Hold the web in your hands... the iPod touch can do this.
Buy music, videos, TV shows and podcasts through iTunes... the iPod touch can do this.
Check e-mail... you guessed it.

The iPad is a super-mega sized iPod touch, which I will no longer be able to put into my pocket... I don't get what the iPad will be good for yet. O_O

it runs the iPhone OS, so it can't multitask. it's literally just a bigger iphone (with some phone functionality removed - for now at least) and their A4 system-on-a-chip (You know, like Nvidia's already been doing with Tegra 2).

I don't understand what the point of it is. If you wanted an iphone/ipod touch, you'd get one.

ps LOL at steve jobs saying that netbook screens are too low resolution, and then they launch this with a 768x1024 res. fail.
