Its useless for most of us why. Go ahead apple fanbois bash me up. I've been using apple products but this is going to be a failure

1. Overpriced iPod - seriously , it can run iPod/iPhone apps in a higher resolution - wow , amazing

2. No front facing camera - bah , seriously. I may have bought this as my new Skype device if it had a front facing and back facing camera. no it does not , again useless. if it did , it would be cool to use 3G to make video call or do 3-way conference via iChat or even any other messaging program

3. It does not run OSX - pfft. If it did , it would be great , cause windows fanbois would have bought it as well. 'cause it will be running on Intel and it would be pretty good device. Even if its priced at RM 3k , people would buy it.

4. No HDMI out ? DisplayPort out - gee , how am I suppose to watch HD Content on HD TV , oh wait , RM 500+ for their stupid connector. Wow , amazing apple
Apple be prepared , its going to be an uber failure. I can smell it , they should just focus on their iPhone line. Seriously , this tablet thingy is going to fail - face it tablet pcs have failed . i THINK i should get a MSI Wind U160 (the tablet thingy) and then run OSX on it and then use iPad simulator. El cheapo iPad this way tongue.gif

I'm totally agree with you. In-fact i do prefer wei's iTab much more than this iPad (sound girlish)

I think alot of ppl are missing the point on what the iPad is for.

It's not an iPhone.
It's not an iPod.
It's not a Macbook.

So stop comparing the iPad with the above devices. There WILL be uses for it.
Get over it.

from here, it looks exactly like an ipod touch + ebook reader.

those doesn't come included with the box, that means more $$ for the accessories
from technical POV, it is an iPhone albeit a bigger size, minus the camera and GSM chip for teh very obvious reason
from Apple marketing POV, well why should we believe a team with ZERO female in it, hence the name -- iTampon aka iPad

isnt iphone - GM - camera = ipod touch?

and next year they will launch.... Apple iPad Wing icon_idea.gif

if this A4 chip is going to be in the iPhone, then it should be a very small chip compared to the intels. small proc in a 10-inch device shouldnt be a heat problem.

as for storage, well we all know u can slam 64gb in an ipod touch, so it doesnt take up much space in the hardware too

waiting for a teardown, but i suspect half of the ipad is battery tongue.gif now this might be a heat problem

the black bar on the top for the 3G models is damn ugly! does it need to be so huge? i thought the 'stick the antenna behind plastic apple logo' like the iMacs was a good idea. im hoping to get the iphone 4g this year, but i really hope it wont come up with that black bar.

looking forward new iphone too...
its like macbook air's size with ipod touch functions...with hardware upgrades...wifi n support, led backlight ips display..n some new UI capabilities
typically..jz a gadget..not necessity, pass it or get it

looking for smaller device would b iTouch...no point making ipad smaller, this will result competition among own products
ipad sized similar to a book(i believe dis is their selling point) their new ebook app.

It's just a bigger & faster version of iPod Touch. It works like one. Same throwbacks & drawbacks.

I know coz I used to own iPhone 1G, iPod Touch 2G & iPod Nano 3G.

the big letdown is no multitasking.. if this was intended to be an internet device tough luck on running safari with im client at the same time. unless backgrounder got ported to maxipad.

What impressed me the most was how they make iWork productivity tools "FUN" to use instead of writing boring business proposal / spreadsheet / presentation slides on the desktop.. now we can lay around at our most comfortable chair/bed and draft out work documents in a cool iPad... it just make doing work related stuff a little fun to use.
