Well i and many of us think it is just another computer...
the only difference is that, that it has a full touchscreen, it is very hard to handle while your on the go... and it is not so small as i have thought it would have been...
Here is an interesting link to see what Ipad looks like..:

1 word. Shit.

Im looking into getting JooJoo, formally Crunchpad. Everything's expected to go open source, so i can start tinkering everything about it easily. No more closed os. Plus it has a huge screen xD

The Ipad is an enlarged Iphone(have one) and in my opinion, i do not ever see this progressing into the buisness world.

Now Microsoft courier and JooJoo sound promising.

JooJoo launches in a couple of weeks but i'm gonna wait couple of months as google has announced there developing a tablet as well. i guess they wanna jump into the market early this time.

Thats my opinion. What do you think DotMRT?

[DotMRT]

Yeah it does looks like an enlarged Iphone lol
+ it doesnt even have any stand... so i also think that it wont be very successful.

I was trying to sell my iPod Touch, and I wanna buy wanna these things! They look awesome! You may think they are 'just a bigger ipod touch' but they are more powerful and will have lots more features.

Really? they run a modified Iphone OS, so what new features where added? none from what I can tell.

[alexc]

well, it already has iBooks, landscape homescreen, most likely a camera - and you know how apple are, they give the newer/more expensive hardware better features than the iPod Touch.

This thing has potential... when they release iPhone OS 4.0. I'm imagining how my home can be like Tony Stark's house - you know the video conferencing thing between Stark in the workshop and his assistant in the sitting room? Yeah.

But hey, they ARE cheap. I thought it was going for at least something like $599. The product received too much critiques because we expected too much from them.

HINT: What does the word "modified" mean?

(HINT #2: Your third sentence is wrong.)

The first version will not have a camera. Landscape homescreen... who cares about that. You wouldn't go buy it for that feature would you?:DBtw it is running the Iphone Os not the Ipod Touch, which is modified iphone os, stripping alot of the features :)The Ipad, in my opinion is rushed. It's apples way of securing a untouched and thriving market before it's competitors. The ipad wont get good till the next year. (Most likely will release a new version with the camera)

One big thing is it has no Adobe Flash support. It only has a 1Ghz Processor.

i know the ipod touch runs a modified verison of the iphone os. the ipad, iphone and ipod touch all run modified versions of the iphone os, if you understand what i mean. there has been some proof (somewhere - google it) that there is a camera in the ipad. i guess we'll just have to wait and see.

i think that flash could easily be included with the ipad as a firmware upgrade, as i think its capable of running it - apple probably wants to wait until 4.0 though so they can charge for it. also, have a look here: http://paulirish.com...k/gordon/demos/ someone made so sort of java thingy to run flash within safari on the iphone/ipod touch, although it's very laggy.

[malcomhfc]

Apple will never include flash. There way of promoting html5 and h.264 codec.

[Hitterman]

I head that Microsoft was laughing on iPad. It's a bit unfair because Apple has really made great efforts

that does look good, but I think Apple will probably try and sue over the name, even though they don't own it (you know what they're like). it can only run linux or windows though - no OS X, again, Apple would sue.

[ThIsIsIslamAdmin]

Apple trying gut the people for what they have......

It only forwards to the one you linked if you're using a cell phone or something... Contrary to public belief, most of us don't browse with mobile devices.

Like a big iphone.
