The iPad - Will You Buy It?

Hell no, and I think anyone who spends the money on one of these things before seeing if the hardware makes it's way into the iPhone/iPod Touch later this year is a complete moron.

 

i'll get the wifi only version.

 

No.

Not enough different from the current iPhone/touch, as it is, in fact, simply a giant iPhone/touch.

And while iWorks is nice...that's what I have a Macbook (Pro) for, which does a lot more.

I guess this thing is for people who don't have an iPhone/touch or a Macbook. People who want something larger than an iPhone/touch.

Or revolutionaries. Or aspiring magicians. Or aspiring revolutionary magicians...or magical revolutionaries. Think Che mixed with Harry Potter.

 

Wow... okay I knew it was just a giant iPod Touch, but at the very least I expected the memory to be closer to that of a Macbook. 64GB? We've got that already!

Apple are looking suspiciously like Nintendo, bringing out a new Pokemon game every year with only very minor differences to the last one, but fooling everyone into thinking they need it.

 

Yeah I want to get one. So I guess I'm a moron, in some people's views.

 

I won't buy it.
I have my iPod touch - smaller, smoother and with the same features.

(To be honest, I am pissed off with Apple that there was no iPhone OS update )

 

I'd say "most" people's views judging by the current reception around here

 

And You don't agree, Midian? Do You think iPad is something were were expecting?

 

tablet

 

yeah no i don't want a giant iPT
and you actually do tilt it left and right for accelerometer based games? >_____>

 

The closer it got to being revealed the more I was expecting to be disappointed, and I am. Now I just want a Macbook

 

I'd like to see more of a tablet PC in this form factor, rather than an iPodTouch with a bigger screen.

But, Apple just doesn't want to open things up - I mean, no Flash?

 

nope. I already have the iPad mini, my iPhone

 

That joke is already getting old. I think I might get it.

 

But incredibly apt. It sounds like something Apple would have done. Assume for a moment the iPad came out before the iPhone/iPod Touch, the natural evolution would have been to make it smaller and charge us a load more cash. Seems we skipped ahead.

 

Wouldn't you eventually get uncomfortable trying to do desktop stuff on a tablet computer? I think Apple did the right thing by choosing to make the "iPad" a casual device that can be taken out and put away quickly.

 

My friend Dolly Parton just told me what she thinks of the iPad: "It's a bust."

Sorry I couldn't help it

 

The next person to post after me gets to buy me a iPad, thanks!
