Apple has always turned down thier customers when they launch their first product line. Same goes to the iphone 1st generation, then came the 3g version which is not much different but then it made a hit. Ill skip the ipad personally as its just an oversized iphone. Using it for daily tasking is going to be a pain, imagine holding that piece of oversized iphone in yr hands n trying to get a good angle to read or surf the net.

Trust me its not going to be a good experience, furthermore with all the snatch thieves waiting for victims. My ifon2g is still serving me right n fine.

They still have 60 days before it launches. Perhaps Apple finally turn an ear and listen to the issues brought up.

One thing I'm curious, why they offer iPhone OS instead of a stripped down Leopard 10.5.

I believe with Apple it is possible, they just don't want to waste too much resource on what they're able to do now. They're keeping it for the future product release.

Trust me, you'll see a tablet running Mac OS X soon.

i highly doubt this. Leopard runs at PPC n Intel only. even our SL is Intel only. from the hackintosh department u can see how SL cant even run well on AMD CPUs...which are not much different from Intel's architecture

so how is SL going to run on an entirely different architecture like the A4? no way im using OSX on a 1Ghz machine. we know iPhone uses an ARM chip, so since iPad runs the the same OS and games, i think its safe to say the A4 is an ARM-spec chip as well

maybe someday someone will hack OSX on ipad or something, but it would be really slow.

i share ur concern though...mac OSX on ipad would be much cooler. but since Jobs publicly dismissed intel's atom, n no rumours about apple/AMD deal..very unlikely already. i dont believe apple has the guts to create a processor better than the Atom, since PA Semi doesnt

all in all, it kicks Vaio P's ass though hahaha

well when u judging an Apple's product, you can't just judge what they just released, you have to calculate the future as well....

some may ask "WHY iPhone OS 3.2" & "No multitasking".... aren't u forgetting that iPhone OS is about time to upgrade itself to 4.0?? You still can put you hopes on 4.0 to bring multi-tasking... after all Apple A4 processor should be capable to handle it...

as for Adobe Flash support... i was wondering why did the NatGeo website during the demo can show those Flash advertisement??? although some of the part of the demo also show "Missing Plugin"...

it may not be the perfect Netbook replacement, but it still far better than netbook, apart for not having Flash support, but netbook itself cant handle flash that well either

I myself having an iPhone and iMac... i too was skeptical bout the "3rd Category" market.... after all I need something like MacBook Air, portable yet powerful enough for my usage... iPad can't handle or provide most thing i need for now, but i looking forward for its future... see how the market gets....

Yeah. The games and features are wicked. But hey, it's baseless.
I'd rather wait and see them update their macbooks.

hmm... its meant to close the gap, yes but why get it if one has an iPod/iPhone and a Macbook? Both those things can already do what the the iPad has to offer.. in some ways.

Its very mobile, light and big display ike the MBA (or much lighter) and fast (like iPhone or faster)...
But again... I am an Apple Freak... tongue.gif

to find an Apple owner in Malaysia is hard, to find an Apple owner who is owning more than one Apple device is even harder. Go figure on how this thing can sell in Malaysia. Among all their products, only MacBook White or MacBook Pro 13 are the most practical

Multi-tasking is probably going to be a software update. No difference if its the 1st gen or the 2nd gen. At this price, if people insist on multi-tasking and camera, i would suggest buying an iphone and an ipod touch tongue.gif tongue.gif

If its easy to drop or too thin or too light, some will say too heavy is not good.
If some say 1gHz is not good enough, others might say it is pricey is it is a spec above.
Bottomline is that There will never ever be a product that can cater everyone.

I think this product is perfect for me.
I never really need multitasking, i travel a lot and i relied heavily on my ipod touch for my emails and websurfing. I also relied on it for entertainment when im traveling (I know, i should pick up reading tongue.gif tongue.gif). However, its not possible for me to watch a movie while typing an email (on a touch screen!). I dont get what's the hooohaaa about the inability to multitask. If its there, great. If its not.Nehh

Camera? I never understood why would nano need a camera, let alone a 10" touch screen ipad. Do you know how awkward that would look when you try to take a pic with a 10" touch screen? lol. Unless its like 100 Megapixel camera. I remember even the built-in isight was introduced as late as 2006? in the macbook pro. I can be wrong but my point is that it will be late, apple-style but doesn't mean it wont come. I think a webcam is probably more useful than an actual camera though.

I think the next move is to somehow integrate this to the airport express, so it can be use for presentations. Heck, Jobs can even use the iPad for all his future presentation tongue.gif It can be useful for both business and leisure. I can already use my ipod touch to control my itunes and appletv. if an iPad can provide more features than that, that would be awesome smile.gif

15" MBP and iMac not practical?

the main thing that's preventing malaysians (including yours truly) from buying iphones is the price. see how touchscreen LGs and samsungs are selling. if iphone can drop down to those prices, sure lots of people will buy

anyone wanna email Jobs asking why no multitask?

"You wanted multitasking? Then buy TWO iPads. Not that big of a deal.

Jobs

Sent from my iPhone"
