You just addressed me bitch ass nigga. Get off JD's dick you fuckin stan.
Must be for kids. Fuck an "app"
I download music for free from here and software.
I must be getting old, cause without upgradeable storage, camera and a real OS I can't fuck with it.
When they finally release the real one, it should at least have what I can get on a netbook.
I dunno about upradeable storage- I gives a fuck about that
but no camera is a HUGE disappointment. Guess they had to keep that out to keep the prive point low
Imagine with the processor they can put in something that size, how GOOD the camera can be in that bitch?
Yeah, that would easily add a couple hundred to the price.
And as far as OS? - please
What's wrong with windows 7??
I also must be the only guy with a working copy of Vista, I haven't had a crash, lost a bit of data or blue screen in 2 years.
But I was referring to OSX
That point right there is really something I think they are banking on, not just Apple, but all of the companies.
which is what i love about haters... any haters not just the apple ones..
a lot of those ideas/tech will also be done by other companies, then the hater has to swallow their pride cause now all of a sudden their favorite company or the company not named apple is also doing it..
Pretty much, I was ready to order if it had what I was expecting. I like the physical design of it looks great, but iphone os
for 700 bucks because I would need atleast the 64gb wifi. I was expecting a modified osx that can multi task with custom built video and photo editing programs that could be done with just touch. Music creation and editing program something that could be like your studio on the go all with touch interface. Maybe more powerful games with wireless Bluetooth controllers xbox style where you could start up some hardcore gaming anywhere and a front facing camera for video conference, Im sure this device will sale well but im sure this is not what the tech crowd was expecting but I guess it wasnt built for us.
Honestly I would rather run windows 7 on the hardware. I have a windows 7 tablet software runs good but the hardware is kinda clunky. If there ever is a way to get windows 7 on this hardware i might pick one up on ebay for cheap
Well for me, I don't want to carry around an extra drive if I want to watch movies. My netbook has a 250 gig drive, so I can load up 30+ movies when I want.
64 gigs is for the one that costs as much as two netbooks. That is a deal breaker for me.
If you think about it, this device is not really a 'replacement' for a full laptop.
If you need the 'computing power' of a full laptop........... get a laptop.
Like other have said in this thread, I agree the TRUE advantage will be 3rd-party software development & content deals.
For Example:
If video game developers ever seriously decided to start making games for this device... it could give ALL the 'console guys' a serious run for their money.
Because the gaming industry is a LARGER industry than the movie industry, revenue-wise. And the only 'portable' device that dominates that market is the PSP.
AFAIK, I haven't seen many game developers rushing to make games for Tablet PCs.
Imagine kids playing Madden Football on the bus, or in a car, or on the subway, or on a plane with this thing.
Nintendo DS/DS Lite/DSi might have something different to say
you have to look at things from a business perspective.Pretty much, I was ready to order if it had what I was expecting. I like the physical design of it looks great, but iphone os

the tablet was the only announcement today. they HAD to launch that shit this quarter. they need a revenue driver for the quarter since they don't have any new updates to the rest of their product line. no new towers, MBPs to drive sales.
Q2 will be the new iPhone and with that there will be iPhone OS 4.0 which should include multi-tasking. Apple may be late to the game with shit, but when they do do it, they get it right as evident by cut/paste that debut on OS 3.0. new hardware?
Q3 will have a new iPod something or another. new hardware?
Q4 will be holiday sale.
this is a publicly traded company that has projections it has to make and surpass to satisfy The Street.
I feel ya. I actually just noticed what you were saying about the OS. That's a bad look too.
BUT, I was already in the market for a kindle anyway, so I'm in on this.
Plus, I've been bugging myself to start learning developing. That just appeals to me as an intellectual property stream, and a playground for ideas, which is what I love.

I can do that on my iPhone, without removable storage
Nintendo DS/DS Lite/DSi might have something different to say
true, true
but you get the point.
none of those devices have the 'screen size' as this one.
so i expect we will be seeing larger versions on the market later this year.
oh well no iphone 4.0 i guess i am going to order my tomtom adapter for my car
and you're MY STAN- but I gotta cut ya loose, doo doo chaser. This is your last reply... cherisgh it.
Nintendo is releasing a larger screen DS in the near future. They will continue to dominate the handheld market. Sony nor Apple will be able to break their hold on the market.true, true
but you get the point.
none of those devices have the 'screen size' as this one.
so i expect we will be seeing larger versions on the market later this year.
20 Things I Already Know About Apple's Ultra-Hyped "Tablet"
1. It will make you want one.
2. It will be missing something "essential".
3. It will have one really surprising feature.
4. It will singlehandedly re-monetize some waning industry.
5. It will be Time Magazine's device of the year.
6. It will have a short battery life.
7. It will standardize at least one technology.
8. Steve Ballmer will say it's too expensive and too limiting.
9. Companies will start playing catch-up. Their products will all be deemed "iTablet/iSlate/iPad killers"
10. All other similar products will be compared to it in their reviews.
11. At least one major critic will hate it on principle alone, then he will actually try it for a week.
It will become his main machine and he will write a story on his transition to the device.
12. People will sarcastically say that it does everything including making you coffee. This will somehow never get old.
13. At least one company will make an absolutely ridiculous and useless peripheral for it.
14. A group of people will say they're waiting until it has "x" feature before they buy one. It will get that feature.
They still won't buy it.
15. Almost all cases for the device will be way too expensive.
16. It will somehow be used in the military.
17. You'll eventually get over it's name.
18. Analysts will claim that it bridges the iPhone to Mac gap, thus helping the "halo" effect, without any evidence.
19. Early adopters will be heart broken when v2 of the product comes out.
20. People will say Apple did an upgrade of the device too quickly. Steve Jobs will tell them to get over it.
and you're MY STAN- but I gotta cut ya loose, doo doo chaser. This is your last reply... cherish it.
this is where the deal with LaLa comes into place. streaming content from a cloud. Apple wants you to purchase from their media stores cause it means that you are buying their product and it gives them leverage with the media companies. the more media companies in their store the more people will be apt to buy their product.
having your purchased content available via an iTunes cloud will be a win for Apple. keep in mind, most of the world doesn't go to BGOL or torrents or rapidshare to get their content. people still purchase legally.
MOST of this shit is so true!!

all of this is TRUE
Main things I know are more likely to have issues that will come out in 6 months - finish, build quality, battery.
Big question mark is the new processor.
I may not wait for 2nd gen if I dont have to aka no major problems for 6 months. I waited awhile to pick up a unibody mbp and waited til end of 2nd gen to pick up a touch.
Yeah no multitask is gonna be tough. Kinda makes it seem crippled. Again I look at it more as a Kindle on HGH than I see it as an ipod.
Does the shit even have abuiltin mic or cam?
cosign - im looking for some finish quality smudges get nasty types of things
DRM has already be dropped from iTunes. Even if they try it with e-books, there WILL be a way around it.
word but the stakes may be higher for e-books than with music- im guessing most publishers except textbook pubs will be drooling at the chance to make money again.
some humor from lifehacker
fuckin maxipod
@ iMeal.. they gone have napkins and stuff! WTF??

14. A group of people will say they're waiting until it has "x" feature before they buy one. It will get that feature.
They still won't buy it.
some cat already said until it gets HD he woin't get it.. eewwll just posted the specs and it has HD.. let's see what that cat says says now!

i was about to say it has HD that was one of the features featured in the presentation
11. At least one major critic will hate it on principle alone, then he will actually try it for a week.

This one takes a jab at A LOT of "tech writers" out there.
I feel what you saying and like I said I don't doubt this thing is going to sell regardless and im sure future iphone os updates and hardware updates will address some of the issues. I can already see gen 2 next year starting at 64gb wifi and 3g and the camera for 599 with 128gb and 250gb available. My main problem is with the iphone os in general but I understand why this did it just not a device for me at this time.
Dunno about that.
Time will tell, tho.
The advantage that the new iPad device is its ability to DO OTHER THINGS besides just play games.
Nintendo's newest device will most likely only focus on 'gaming'.
This Apple device will be about, games + [fill in the blank... then keep adding stuff]
But, it really all depends on 3rd-party developers, I'd say.
Because if a video game development company is looking for another 'revenue source' aside from only Nintendo, Sony, or Xbox...
That could make all the difference.
