    Okay, so maybe it’s 4th grade humor.

    Cheers!

    All kidding aside, I’ll probably get one. It’s kinda cool.

    #2 I have an iPod touch and an old Lifebook tablet running XP. I can do everything that the iPad can.
    On the Touch, I have access to Apples garden that is walled especially for my protection. I am kept away from nasty websites that might want to use Flash and can play all my music collections and podcasts. I can even control it with 2 fingers.
    On the Windoze tablet, I can watch videos in non-HD and non-widescreen format. I can put a pretty picture on the front screen and run software that other people have to look at on 22″ monitors.
    What do I need an iPad for then?

    I’ll still really want one too but now I see 2 big hurdles that may kill it for me. #1 DRM free content(I don’t mind iTunes but I need to have access to my content I purchase after the device becomes obsolete) and #2 Flash.

    @#5
    They were thinking that they have a user base of lemmings that will buy any piece of shit they make.

    #6. “They were thinking that they have a user base of lemmings that will buy any piece of shit they make.” – like Fox News?

    Those college guys kill! I really don’t think I have potentially laughed more in a long, long time.

    If they assure us their future iPad jokes will be funny as hell, who am I to disagree? There’s just all those things that were so hilarious about it. Lots of things.

    Anyway, let’s applaud them now. Perhaps give them a Pulitzer Prize in advance, like Obama and his Nobel, based on the obvious possibility that these jokes could be really, really funny. Like they were.

    Jobs should have gone with Islate. The Ipad is going to become the Maxipad. There’s no way to prevent it. Who wants to pull out their new toy only to have their friends say, “Hey, yah ga’tah maxipad!”

    I still think the device has a lot of potential but they should have allowed you to install a memory card or two that you bought, added a couple of USB ports, and allowed you to swap out batteries. They also need a built in camera for video conferencing.

    I wouldn’t mind an Intel Atom powered “slate” computer like the unit HP demoed at CES. It needs to be $450 or less though.

    High prices have been holding back touchscreen computers. The netbook boom shows that people really want small, low cost secondary systems.

    As for this garbage from Apple:
    No USB?
    No Multitasking?
    No Unapproved Software?
    No thanks.

    Pee Wee Herman gets an iPad. I specially like what he finally uses it for.

    You lost me there. What’s next, Spock with a beard?

    The iPad is for crazed Apple fanboys and people who have more money than they do common sense.

    I swear Steve Jobs could get on stage and shit in a bucket and the entire audience would want to run up and smell it.

    What a bunch of sheep.

    4 things it needs, then I’d buy.

    2 USB ports
    Charge via USB
    Multitasking
    GPS

    The iPad will NEVER work!
    It doesn’t have USB, like my old computer.
    It doesn’t have a full keyboard permanently attached, like my old computer.
    It doesn’t have a floppy drive, like my old computer.
    It doesn’t have a CD-ROM drive, like my old computer.
    It doesn’t have a mouse, like my old computer.
    It doesn’t have expansion slots, like my old computer.
    It doesn’t have an upgradable power supply, like my old computer.
    It will never catch on.

    As a New Zealander, I honestly dont get whats so funny about the word “pad” to some Americans….I have a “pad” of paper….is that a joke too? you “pad” your resume? Is that hilarious? “ho ho ho, that means you stick sanitary pads to your resume? ha ha ha….”

    For the love of…the 3G version HAS GPS! How do people not realise that?
    ” * Wi-Fi
    * Digital compass
    * Assisted GPS (Wi-Fi + 3G model)
    * Cellular (Wi-Fi + 3G model)”

    http://images.apple.com/ipad/specs/

    Please correct others who whine about lack of GPS…..

    I guess all other devices get similar “basher bloggers” at the start, “im not buying it until it comes with a floppy drive…”, I’m sure Steve Jobs with his billions really needs your 500 bucks :) I cant wait to see if this thing does turn out to be popular too! I remember the iPhone hate, and the iPod bashing before that!
