You only have experience using 2G iphone for 6 months? Which devices are you carrying now? Win CE or Nokia?
I presumed that your statement above meant that you have no other experience owning a Macbook or iPod Touch or even a 3GS.
How many times and how many people actually make video calls?
I owned an iPod Touch, iPhone 3GS and Macbook Pro.
An iPad with a Mac OS (or a stripped down version) will not fit the size and price of the new iPads. Furthermore, it will raise further and higher expectations on the hardware specs. A strip down version specs will not satisfy the hunger of Mac users.
Thus, I don't mind the iPhone OS 3.2 version of iPad. Fast to boot and launch applications.
I have a 3GS so, I can make calls easily.
I have a Macbook Pro, so I can easily make video calls (which I rarely do).
All the powerful apps, I can run using my MBP.
Do I carry all devices? The answer is Yes... and I don't mind carrying the iPad to replace my paper Notebook/Diary in my bag which also carries my MBP.
So..where iPad fits me? Its good for reading, browsing, replying emails, taking notes - "replacing" my Notebook/Diary which I carry around, "replacing" the tons paper books .. be more subtle (not obvious) browsing Internet or replying emails in meeting rooms.
The problem is most people think iPad can replace their MB or iPod Touch or iPhone. Its not meant to be design that way.
Maybe some people already have their needs/wants with their current devices. Fair enough - this iPad might not be suitable for that kind of person.
Otherwise, I can see a lot of people whining because they are either Windows users or they don't have enough money to buy one.
What if they make it less than RM 1000, would you buy?
as consumer i would by better product for reasonable. i change phone because of need and that guy offer good price. i use video call to talk with my kid. its better can see their faces. some ppl need some ppl dont.
i will buy iPAD if it has all i need/want and also meet my expectation on the design. but for now it just piece of crap.
