  • I nearly took my mac back when I saw this advert. It's cringe

  • What is the song played at 6:51? Would be very grateful :)

  • this is not sooo revolution! they just make it dramatic! to dramatic!

    look at 2:10 how dramaticly he speaks! like someone just dies if we dont buy that!??

  • I did a order in wwww.mi-apple.es and is amazing the new ipad 2 !

  • wOw!

    

  • Lol its wierd how lots of people are going mad about the price. i just got an ipad and i think the price should be wayy more

  • это круто! тоже хочу iPad. Смотришь и восхищаешься!

  • 2:14 "you don't even think about it"

    ooo... we know that ... bastards !

    we all know what're planing ..., we all know that you satanists - want us STUPID !

    to be controlled, to "surf" in some DEEEEEP-SHITS !

    we all know that you want make us weak, lazy and most important - VITIATIVE !

    yes, we all know that... but when you will wake up, to see yourselves ?

    to see that YOU'RE the one who actually became lazy, stupid and vitiative ?

    WHEN ?

  • fucking ipads, how do they work?

  • Apple's laughing all the way to the bank.

  • epic fail

  • "The Ipad starts at only $499" Hell yeh, only $499, thats the kinda money i spend on my lunch evry day right >.<

  • Oooh a large iPod touch. So innovative.

  • The voice of the speakers have an amazing stereo image, any mastering freak who knows how they did it? ty!

  • Jony Ive takes his magical iPad seriously!

  • jony ive

  • ...and there is still no back button. superb. xD

  • @yme1982 You don't need one. The apps that do need one, have back buttons.

  • I love my iPad ! The moment I took it out of the box I fell in love with it. Keynote is lovely and my favourite app is Labyrinth 2 HD. The only new feature I'd like would be a camera. According to Apple the new iPhone 4G will have a 5 mega pixel camera and on the video it looks so small. I'm sure you could get a good 10 megapixel camera on an iPad.

  • it's so magical, something so simple and less capable than a netbook!! seriously flawed thinking at Apple or is it that pompous ass Steve Jobs who thinks he has the answers to what YOU need. Apple needs to go back to the drawing board on this one. Oh you're thousands of iPhone apps run grainy on it and there are still few native iPad apps. Lame!

  • @ 1:10 Guess you all know what that means.

  • I love this device!!!!

  • does anyone feel like the name is talking about tampons

  • why in the world wud u want to get an iPad? its neither a PC and neither an iPod to carry it around you need a bag... then i wud rather take my laptop with me... also when u hold it as in 4:04 for example ur hand must hurt like hell after a few minutes... no reason to buy one

    PS: did he say "fucked"? 3:30

  • ha these things suck. anything made by apple sucks.

  • PM ME YOUR EMAIL IF YOU WANT IT FOR FREE!!!! (lockerz invite)

  • It's so....BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!<3

  • @baccano20 The iPad will last 5 hours playing video, so unless you have some sort of mammoth movie to watch, the battery won't die half way through.

  • Ipad! Best way to browse! Best way to watch a movie! But remember, you need to pay monthly for our wifi, or else it won't be the best way to browse. Oh also, You can only watch about half of the movie, because our battery life is so small cause we wanted to make the device as thin as possible so remember to plug it in before doing so. -end it with a dramatic orchestrated song- DUN DUN DUNNNN!

  • @Baccano20 The battery lasts 10 hours. You could watch about 5 movies in that time

  • Apple is The Best in the Word !!!

  • If you are able to get the iPad, why not just get a regular laptop? No point in this device.. just an oversized iTouch with bigger screen.

  • waste of money in my opinion

  • Most you people are retards! Never been told "if you have nothing good to say then don't speak"

  • why this over other tablets (they've been out for years now...most schools use them) shit doesnt even have OneNote

  • I want this for reading and the internet. I have an iPod touch but getting on the Internet and zooming in is gettin' on my last nerves. I have to double tap just to read something. Annoying!

  • Omg Ipad is sucks...

  • what's the name of the last song please?

  • wow no one else can do it. haha

  • This is gay...

  • there is a wrong way to hold it... backwords!

  • im still surprised yet that they can make a little ipod shake to shuffle with a camera but they still cant put one on this one?

  • its a giant IPOD TOUCH!!!!

  • apple is just pondering to the rich, easily amazed stupid people who know nothing about technology and what it's truce pricing points are.

    $500 IS and unbelievable price.

    But then again its apple so you gotta expect it's products to be ludacrisly expensive.

  • yeah it has speakers

  • Yes, so?

  • @Iq1099 get the bump app you can send contacts through it

  • How come it doesn't say anything about the memory. The largest HD you can get is 64gb. I have a 500gb HD in my desktop so the ipad would be good for portable reasons for me. but for somebodys first computer, this is going to suck. Unless it supports external hds then nevermind. Don't know how many USB ports there are if there are any but I'm hoping it does.

  • @njmccormick91 It's not a computer, it has mobile OS.

  • This is awesome ,who cares about crappy old flash!

  • @facethefire1 Agreed :D

  • Sooooooo nasty

  • The Best

  • La ipad es lo mejor y ya verán el éxito que va a tener...

  • what's the last song?

  • Dude I am sooo selling my iPod touch nd stuff to get that!.

  • The reason the iPad doesn't have flash player is because it would slow everything down. Mozilla, the makers of the popular web browser Firefox, recently announced that their next version of their browser will not support flash for speed reasons, and that is exactly what apple is doing also. Flash may already support a majority of the videos and apps we like all over the web, but HTML5 will soon take that over. Flash is the past, HTML5 is the future.

  • Just saying that I think the iPod touch's back should look like the Ipad's insteadof that polished steel that attracts fingerprints and scratches.

  • when u touble tap for full screen part of the out edges of the film are cut out, as appose to expanded

  • i love how they try to make it all dramatic.

  • The mail software has limitations too

    does not attach docs, text files, archives, etc..

    does not attach other emails.. cannot save attachements..

    and so on.. The camera, zoom, auto focus, etc..

  • No flash support!

    No ASPX

    No Camera

    The iPhone has compatibility issues in browsing too.

    does not support proxy authentication.. socks5..

  • they'll add it

  • they will not!

    on other mobiles, you can SEND contacts via Blue Tooth, SMS, MMS,or email!

    The same for other files.. But on the iPhone YOU CANT!!!

  • u can on a JB iphone

  • HTML 5 dudes it's the new flash keep up

  • i love this

  • ?

    I really hate it

  • 2:29 when he says you can do it all with your hands....yea i can do a lot of things with my hands buddy....

    fail :O

  • "Starts at just $499"

    lmao

  • Very very cool device!

  • this is the future

  • I love the iPad and you guys r all iPad haters

  • I couldn't even watch this whole video... This thing is a joke! The actors in this video are going to look so stupid once this device is confirmed to be a giant flop.

    0:45 "The best web surfing experience"... No... no no no it's not! Far from!! It does not even have flash support! The HP Slate is going to obliterate this thing, and even that I wouldn't call the best web browsing experience.

    This video is just another point to be added to the "Apple thinks their users are idiots" argument!

  • Sorry. No improvement over the laptop. Just a big iPod with no flashplayer or anything. Won't be buying one of these. Sorry.

  • This looks so shitty. A laptop can do everything the iPad can do but more, and it does it 3 times better. It can play high tech games and it has higher memory.

  • its just a bigger iphone with about 2 fancy apps big deal y not buy an ipod touch and jailbreak it? OR EVEN A GOOD OLD FASHION LAPTOP

  • Comment removed

  • I'm curious as to how it will stand up to harsh summer-sun, that's one of my demands for a book, to be able to read it outside in the summer...

  • great product, real nice looking, just one question.

    how is that an improvement over a laptop?

  • It's more comfortable to carry, it's lighter and it has the touch screen thing that everyone seems to be in love with...

  • Reminds me a lot of

    micro touch net-books.

  • no flash=oversized iPod touch=not impressed

  • i need 1

  • the guy at the beginning has got nice eyes. I'd bye that pad-thing from him!

  • dude! its an oversized iphone!!!

  • iPad is a good beta device - needs improvement.

  • fuck you, name 5 improvements and complain to apple. this ipad is a genious

  • a camera.

  • i-pad kai ta paparia mou kouniountai....apla tragiko..

  • I think it's great!

  • gosh that third guy on this video just pisses me off, the way he talks.. ha

  • ipeiceofshit

  • Cover the apple logo and write PC.

    The most secure way to not get robbed ;)

  • That change also makes it the most secure way to be insecure, also ;)

  • how do you carry this thing from place to place without getting yanked out of your hands when in the guetto?

  • Wow..this seems soooo fricking overhyped. But I still want one. I'll wait till it come out and test it out...see how it feels in my hand first.I'll decide if I want this or a 32gb touch.

  • wasn't this guy on prison break?

  • So genius!

    I think Apple are really smart by not using The osx.

    They are going to win à whole new Market. The coming tablet users want something really Easy to use and understand. Not some osx, That Microsoft users wont understand.

    Cant Wait til apps like photoshop and apps thats helps you create music.

    Will be magic. Maybe it can be ides like an external mixer for my homestudio.

    And why complain bout The lack of USB. Bluetooth ftw!

    Will definetly buy one! Love it

  • LOL pause at 2:17 and have a laugh.

  • Magical... please send me some of your pot!

  • this is very nice, but my opinion it looks like a gigantic ipod! I love it, im so getting one!

  • unlike u fags i can afford it and plus my i touch is cracked like a bitch only reason i didnt but a new one is because i was waiting for a camera.

  • I was a fan of apple till now. Epic fail. Now I'm just a fan of My iPhone and my MacBookPro :). No iPad for me. Not even for free! That's why I got rid of my iPod Touch!

  • why the hell did they make it soo big? theres no point... i mean 700$ for 64GB? they have to be joking

  • i want one

  • hitler says it better

  • ipad is not for kids that likes to play alote just like me so that's not for my kind

  • LOL 2:17 "You just do!"

  • looks cool, does cool things and will prolly revolutionize a lot of work places. at the same time it limits you. like BearBoi69 said, once you buy an apple thats all you can use and you have to go thru them for everything. personally i think they should open it up for more customization of the programs you use. just my opinion, whatever its worth lol

  • unless they build a version with iwork and ilife im not going to buy it. my ipod touch already does all of this.

  • @theuberawesomchannel

    They're selling an office program and iwork program for it in the app store, so much for that excuse

  • so really all this is, is an over grown touch. but it cant fit in your pocket. fail.

  • my math teacher will have this awesome piece of technology for sure he already has 2 itouchs, 1 iphone and 3 macbooks

  • y does he have 2 touches and an iphone? LOL

  • can you say sellout?

  • loooks incredible

  • 499? lol i thought it would be like 799 or 899$ xD A good price :D

  • my laptop will CRUSH the iPad!!!

  • U can open any vid or task in the new safari mode. I'm able to watch free porn from my touch anywhere. Faster and quicker than any pc . To say u can't open vids is nonsense

  • And if I don't like Safari? Oh, wait, Apple says "too bad!"

    Computers in general are moving toward open-source, while apple keeps creating these ultra closed-source systems and devices.

    Lets face it; you don't buy the computer, you pay a dowry.

  • I surf the net and do all my online apps from my touch. The pad is really going to revolutionise the simplicity of information exchange! To me the iPod touch itself is a amazing leap forward.

  • Apple markets to end-users, and thus simplifies everything; dumb it down.

    What you don't see is how badly they are crippling you. You buy their device and they own you, not the other way around. Everything in the machine comes from them; every piece of hardware & software. You use the browser they decide you use; you buy music from the store they tell you to shop at, which they own. You want to upgrade? No point, just buy the newest model.

    It is the technological equivalent of a police state.

  • This whole "revolutionize the way people read books" pitch is such nonsense. You know how many pixels a screen needs to not hurt your eyes when you read tiny text on it? INFINITE. You know, like those boring "analogue" books we've got.

    That's why I prefer PC's... they don't make such a huge deal about their product. They say "here's a computer, we liked it, maybe you will too"... they don't treat it like the computer version of the Second Coming XD

  • Comment removed

  • Exceeds your ability to understand how it works: It is a giant iPod Touch. This is not magical.

    The best web surfing experience... Yeah? Why it doesn´t play Flash? Does it support Silverlight, can you have Chrome/Iron, FireFox, Opera, etc?

    Photo, music, movie watching experience? With 16GB? Even with 64 it sucks! An iPod classic has 160GB for a tiny screen!

    Most advanced peace of technology? Without multitasking?

    LOL

  • GET THE KOOL AID!

  • You know why they don't put Flash on it? They don't want people using applications outside their precious AppStore... Flash = free cool apps

  • so you may think the ipad is a dumb idea but what is some of the most amazing features on an iphone? THE APPS... THE APPS that will be developed for this will BLOW YOUR MIND.

  • its probably cool... but it wont beat real computer. And i usualy trow thing away when im mad.... this thing look like something easy to trow, its gonna fly away!

  • Magical? More like magically lame.

  • ohh trust me i have that is y i have pulled away from the company and i dont work for them i am a part contractor in what they have ...

  • how do you comfortably use the ipad standing up? you don't, have fun sitting with your knees up everywhere you use it

  • i wont buy it until you guys put flash player on that thing... like come on.

  • teh best my ass..it dsnt have flash

  • Didn't they just do all of that a few years ago? but wait... gasp! They made it bigger!

  • Cool thing.

  • Had a ton of potential, but apple failed with this one. I can see future versions of this product being very successful though. They need to implement flash! A ton of websites use flash, and it takes away from your browsing experience to not have it. If they truly want to revolutionize the way we browse the internet, they have a bit of work ahead of them, but it does have potential.

  • What are the songs names of the video?

    Pleaseeee

  • Honestly, listening to this.... I feel like this is Apple-fanboy-wankfest material. The IPad is just a huge Ipod Touch.... THAT'S IT.

  • affordable~~! only $499

    fine print:

    ****After signing a 50yr contract with At&t ****

  • Um, actually the $499 is without a contract. Why don't you people read before making these comments.

  • @black562 Sorry, just watched the video, and I was starting to zone out 1/2 of the way in.. :) That does make a difference. Not having to sell your soul to sAT&Tn does make a differnce.

  • 499??!?!?!?! yeh umm no thanks!

  • what kind of movies does hé watch? omg, that's kind of nerdy

  • i think browse on my own laptop is much better

  • Anyone know the song that starts at 5:05 ?

  • it's created by apple most likely

  • 'ipad starts only at $499 and we are really excited about that'

    This guy is high

  • I'm sure the brain-dead college and university students will all water buffalo out and buy it - only to cry it can't do enough like a notebook.

  • This would be awesome for when I go to college in the fall. Take it to class and take notes with it. Oooooooooo I want it!

  • I would love to have this for university :D

  • I can see myself using this at home but not like in the subway or on a bus. I have an ipod touch so there isn't much point in getting one. It looks kickass though

  • *cough* iPod touch on steroids *cough*

  • Ew. That man had pimplies!

  • Can I get one with a vagina and boobs cause i want to marry it and keep it forever! can it make babies?

  • I thought the iPad was kinda pointless before, but after this video, I kinda want one...

  • :-)

  • Im interested in this product but i suggest a handle bar or something? just so that if you use it its easier to carry. I really love the iBooks store :) This device is just touch n' go!

  • I'm moderately interested in this product but I refuse to watch any more of this self indulgent wanking. First we created a revolution when we made that phone I hated, now this, which has brought joy to my muslebound otherwise worthless life.

  • Yeh I'm buying one cos apple makes me wet

  • "when something exceeds your ability to understand how it works, it sort of becomes magical." That's so true. I have no idea how a crippled, overpriced tablet controlled by DRM with no operating system can sell even a single unit. It's truly magical.

  • oh okay...ill just pull one of those "better jobs" right out my ass!!

  • Finish high school, then worry about it.

  • Nice gadget!

  • What *were* people wanting the Apple Tablet to do?

  • Wats everyone's problem? I think this thing is amazing!! Its so big and u can see stuff more clearly! I understand most of the stuff u guys are saying like "i cant fit it in my pocket" but its still really kewl....and its actually cheaper then an iphone because with an iphone u have to pay like 200 per month and the with an ipad u only have to pay 499 once! So the ipad would be the better buy!

    I WANT AN IPAD!!

  • Or one could buy, for example, a netbook, which allows for more productivity, does more, and costs less. This doesn't do multitasking (guess people will fix that through jailbreaking though - still not ideal), has no hardware keyboard, it doesn't even support Flash. "Ultimate browsing experience"? Naw.

    I guess I still like the device, but I don't see why we need it. And I just couldn't justify buying this instead of, say, a netbook.

  • And 'The Lord' said, "Let the iPad fail!!" And so it did fail... for 'The Lord' hates the AppStore and having to by Apple's proprietary USB adapters!

    Oh, he also hate having to buy firmware updates!

  • @Edel99 LOL

  • Anyone know the music that starts at 5:00 ?
