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.

regardless what many of us think how useless and outdated the iPad is.. it still gonna sell well amongst the fanboys and girls. they will always find out a reason to buy it.
let see how the perfomance when compares with HP Slate and newly announced MSI tablet later on. oh fujitsu is claiming the rights for ipad name.. let just hope it would make apple change the silly name. |

haven't seen so many bashing when apple launch a new product for so long. apple tv kinda disappointment but it was US only so not really affect the world.
more than a year long rumor build up, fantastic mockup, etc etc then after the release it so far from it was rumored and imagine making it a big disappointment even the fanboys has a hard time defending it. |

QUOTE(stringfellow @ Jan 31 2010, 09:18 PM) You weren't there during the Macbook Air debacle? I was the lone soldier around here, and I believe I still is when it comes to my preference to the Air compared to the normal Macbook/Pros. i guess i miss it.. Like I said, if I don't care, I won't be bothered complaining. All the more reason to b**** when your own money is involved.   though i got nothing on AIR because i dont really care about ultra portable. hmm, i wish there's a place i cano moan about the xserve though  |

forum supposed to be a placed to discuss so no problem if we voiced out our opinions as long as its not insulting and degrading someone else.
i will never consider buying iPad because i don't see any use for it in my life. but maybe i will if they come with full fledged OSX. i do hope however the 2nd gen will be a better devices. i myself not an apple fan but working many years handling xserve making me somewhat attached to the brand. |

QUOTE(calvin_ng @ Feb 2 2010, 09:28 AM) well what I can say is GREED... beg to differ.. my wife netbook (mini 110) can play world of goo no problem. off course not on highest quality but playable at least. only that 10" screen is too damn small. there's also video on youtube showing netbook running a lot of games which i myself did not try. not sure if ipad A4 proc can handle them any better than intel 950 or nvidia ion.. People give you apple you want Fuji Apple As we can see A4 processor is quite strong and yes It can play games... Open GL games!!! you cant do that on a netbook hey wait Iphone and ipod can play open GL games too netbook cant either... so it is simple... if iPad some how have OSX software say snow Lepord.. I bet iPad will not perform... not to mention the heat and processor power and graphic power... so expect the iPad to be Huge and bulky... we don't want that... thats why iPhone OS was used... it is very light, power efficient, and easy to use... fast too... it is like perfect combination.... we can want all the things in the world but realistically.. if iPad have a OSX software what next we can say is it is another tablet PC like Vista!!! yuck!!! have U tried Vista on a Tablet PC!!!..... hmmm.... I hate that!!! iPad with OSX will be awesome. at least that what i believe. you can't compare vista tablet with OSX just like that. Vista sucks and not optimized for touch screen while Snow Leopard is the opposite. |

QUOTE(cRazYee @ Feb 2 2010, 11:02 AM) dont be stupid or sacristies, compare to half life or crysis, typical geek! he replying to the post on how netbook cant play opengl games but A4 is powerful enough to play it. 3D games can be played on most netbook (even with GMA950 on low settings) so he's argument whether the A4 proc can play those games is valid because the other poster claimed it can.graphic engine is graphic engine, you can implement it in a mobile OS, that is the big deal! the quality is as part to PS2 as right now. You're pathetic QUOTE by the hardware iPad has, load OSX will be probably pain in the ass never meant OSX should be put in the iPad with the current spec.. just that apple can do much better job implement better hardware to iPad to run OSX but the refuse because probably:it mean for instant performance, instant boot up everything.... 1. want to get as high profit margin as possible with the price their suggested which is almost as high as the highest spec notebook (alienware gaming netbook) 2. keep it until the 2nd or 3rd gen so they can generate money that way because let face it.. apple WILL replace the 1st gen iPad in very short time ala iphone. |

QUOTE(azxel @ Feb 3 2010, 10:21 AM) 1. I believe its based on the same architecture of the iPhone and most cellphones and PDAs... all of them can't multitask. I also believe that once its multi-tasking capable, it's gonna be hot... too hold to hold. 1. iPhone is capable on multitask if you jailbreak.. this proof it is possible to implemented from start but wonder why apple didnt do it. Android, webOS and WinMo (ugh!) all capable to multitask out of the box.the bezel cant be help to be in that size because how else to hold without accidently pressing the screen if there was no/thin bezel. |

QUOTE(jphlau @ Feb 3 2010, 01:19 PM) Just imagine if Apple allow multitasking in iphone, we will have threads and threads of users complaining that their data has mysteriously disappear as apps are not closed properly.  Then people will condemn apple again. |

QUOTE(calvin_ng @ Feb 4 2010, 05:17 PM) so is USB that important??? apple prove it with the macbook air that usb is not quite really important.. ic.. that's why AIR is selling well... oh wait..a true fanboy justify everything eh? anyway, i would say ipad should look like JooJoo@crunchpad : LINK. That article said CSL will invest in it. Too bad it cant store anything and only run web apps.. if it come with let say moblin it would be nice. |

QUOTE(fyire @ Feb 5 2010, 12:04 AM) To tell the truth, I'm surprised that CSL would even dare to take on this seeing that there's a legal case pending on it. what's legal case?My personal take on the joo joo pad's dimensions is that its pretty much a rather awkward form factor to wanna carry around all the time, and to be able to switch orientations easily. Not to mention as well, awkward to use in cramped environments. The price of the joo joo is definitely one of the items that's gonna kill it though. amd i agree.. the suggested price for a mere web tablet will make it fail. |

here's an article on iPad written by Paul Thurrott last week. He makes a good point and non biased at all.
