  1. LOWER CASE SCREEN NAME says:

    Yeah, but can you self flagellate with it?

    Load it up and you have a Max iPad.

  2. qb says:

    5+ from pedro (fanboi gets extra point) + dog pile from MrMiGu. 100% certain it will be a hit now.

    (sent from HTC Dream – it sucks, get a Nexus instead)

    #82 If you don’t want me to laugh so hard at you, stop showing my comments hurt you so deep.

  4. ECA says:

    its NOT a laptop…
    It probably wont be able to many games..YET

    I figure its the C64 in a FLAT..
    So why are we going BACKWARDS??

  5. ECA says:

    these are NET/CLOUD machine more then anything. they NEED/WANT you to pay for a service. They will restrict ANY form of transfer OTHER then controlled ones.
    It will be hard to buy them without a CONTRACT.

    Another point is itunes.

    Another point is the same problem as iphone..
    Contracts:
    Apple
    Itunes
    ATT??

    Another is iphone is on WHAT version?? 3-4?? and the older versions are NOT the same as the new ones?? Wait for the new versions.

  6. f_w says:

    Of all the complaints, the one about the name is just moronic.
    WHO CARES!
    There are enough valid ones.
    Still a nice 1.0 application.
    We all know it is going the same way as the iphone with upgrades pretty frequently.
    And that is not really a bad thing, those like me who can wait will do so, and those who are either geek heads, fan boys or actually have a use for one will get one, and thus fund further development and a version in the future with all those extras some of us want in it before handing our cash over.
    I am interested in seeing the Google nexus? pad, as i can imagine an oled screen, exchangeable battery’s, multitasking and an actual usb 3 port on it.
    Gah, this thread is long.

  7. f_w says:

    Oh and i would not mind much if it was half the size too.
    Preferable without the black frame.

  8. qb says:

    Sorry pedro, you don’t hurt my feelings. Honestly, you actually make my day.

  9. pedro says:

    #88 Riiiight, you have a list of people who bash your toys & your god because it doesn’t bother you one bit. Hahahahahahahahahaha. Fanboi.

  10. It looks great. Only beef I have is that instead of making it a computer, with MacOSX built in, it looks like they made it in iPod Touch, with a better processor. Is that accurate? And if so, how does it impact the device’s ability to act as a netbook for people? Will they be able to do regular word processing, printing, etc? Will they be able to hook it up to a keyboard and use it like a desktop when people are at home or work?

  11. kids games says:

    I also think I will wait for the HP Table

  12. The iPad is a tablet computer, Its just great! i wish to have one. Thanks for review!

  13. Easy Ways To Make Money says:

    Just another piece of overpriced over hyped junk that the macbots will lap up and defend against any reasonable criticism from the non-coo laid drinkers.

  15. Amberen says:

    I still think the iPad is a stupid name. Reminds me of the MADtv sketch of the same name…youtube it if you don’t know what I mean ;)

  16. I think, this much hyped IPad is yet another product which as similar as Iphone. A little more from Apple, but do we think we really need this.

    There are many cellphones which have drastically reduced their price and is now very affordable, hope the Ipad too will be one of this kind.

  17. jeff says:

    the HP tablet will be out in Q4 2010….maybe.

  18. r4i says:

    I am still an iPhone, which already has all my games, e-mail, web browsing and apps.I obtain low-cost netbook, this does nothing to happen, is the first contact.

  19. Insurance says:

    a big iPhone. But it’s not a phone, so I still have to carry my iPhone that already has all my games, email, web browsing and apps. So I carry my iPhone and this, just an iTouch (which is an iPhone without the phone) and this too?

  20. You made some clear points there. I looked on the internet for the issue and found most guys will agree with your site.
