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)

Today latest news, Israel banned iPad for sales..
QUOTE
JERUSALEM – Israel has banned imports of Apple Inc.'s hottest new product, the iPad, citing concerns the powerful gadget's wireless signals could disrupt other devices.
Customs officials said Thursday they have already confiscated about 10 of the lightweight tablet computers since Israel announced the new regulations this week. The ban prevents anyone — even tourists — from bringing iPads into Israel until officials certify that they comply with local transmitter standards.
The U.S. Federal Communications Commission allows devices with Wi-Fi capability to broadcast at higher power levels than are allowed in Europe and Israel — meaning that the iPad's stronger signal could throw off others' wireless connections, Schubert said.
"If you operate equipment in a frequency band which is different from the others that operate on that frequency band, then there will be interference," said Nati Schubert, a senior deputy director for the Communications Ministry. "We don't care where people buy their equipment. ... But without regulation, you would have chaos."
Some Israelis successfully got the popular devices into Israel before the ban.
