It is portable but why when you can do the same on an ipod? Pc's are good for gaming, moding, programing, advanced word processing, advanced work, dvd's .................
iOS 5 will be able to run independently from iTunes, so this WILL be an appliance. Apply internet and you have a basic web browsing tool, no files, no fuss. My school also uses these instead of laptops now.
Consider this: The price is worth it. It has a dual core A5 chip with over a GHz, has decent speakers, and keeps all of that from overheating when trapped in a sealed metal box.
Like an advertisement in this videos said, apple is for "the rest of us" meaning the idiots that don't know how to use a real computer, I'm 13, I'm not a computer nerd, I don't live for computers, but I know how to get work done on a PC, not just fanny about on an iPad. Steve Jobs is a clever man who has realised that in this life, there are idiots that will pay for anything as long as it's white, shiny and has angry birds, even if it costs $500.That is where Apple comes in.
@TheFizzyPig Actually, the Mac lineup is made for working with media. Graphics design, audio and video editing, video rendering and anything else you can think of in that field can be and is done more easily on a Mac, that's what it's for.
The Mac wasn't meant to play games or anything of that nature, that's not their field. Apple is interested in making an easy to use, fun way to get more work done.
OMG i love Apple. Even though i have never owned or most likely ever will own a MAC based computer, I understand there greatness. Unfortunately there is no MAC that will play my games better than my PC will at the same cost. I cant wait to get my iphone 4 next month!!!! IOS5 FTW
I think that computer based devices like the iPad will one day replace TV. We are seeing that now with internet TV services like Hulu (although they have done nothing but shot themselves in the foot recently) and movie services like Netflix being added to *everything*. Watch yourselves providers like DirecTV and Comcast, you won't last much longer. Internet devices will become our biggest source of information, like how TV replaced radio.
@iEatUglyNoobs Nope, I mean average, normal people that have lives and jobs and don't need or have the time for the hassle of a traditional computer. Since when does wanting to use something that actual works conveniently make you incompetent? It seems to me that the opposite is true.
@MattsMacintosh Ahem, Asus transformer tablet, Xoom, and more are not "traditional computers" nor are they over sized ipods, but the true definition of a tablet.
@iEatUglyNoobs Yep, those are great products too (I own a Xoom as well), but I would argue that the iPad is a better overall package for most people because of ease of use and app selection. Of course, that's not true in all cases. People should always get the best product that fits them. I'm a proponent of all the tablet/ mobile OS devices that make technology more accessible. Rhetorical question: Isn't the Xoom not just an oversized Android phone?
@iEatUglyNoobs iOS was originally designed for tablets well (it was just released on a phone first because of hardware limitations of the time). Having used the Xoom for a few weeks, as well as being the proud owner of a MSI wind netbook, I can assure you that Honeycomb is much closer to a phone OS than a netbook version of Windows (or lite Linux builds). Once again, though, I think that's a really good thing for everyone except the tech nerds.
@MattsMacintosh I see your point, but I think that the Android OS is expanding past just "tech nerds". Maybe just, above average techies, or even average people. It just takes a bit to get used to I'd assume. I'm waiting for an asus transformer to be available on a website that accepts paypal.
@elsenormexicano That’s because the MS Paint interface is based on MacPaint. Well, actually MS Paint is based on PC Paintbrush, which is from PC Paint, which is from MacPaint, which is from LisaDraw.
I disagree with the statement that the Macintosh failed. It was great and people loved it, but others took over eventually. After it, every computer had a graphical user interface; it succeeded in changing computing at the time just as the iPhone revolutionised the mobile phone industry, as nearly every mobile phone nowadays is a touch-screen smartphone. It failed as a specific product, but it surpassed the wildest expectations in building a solid foundation on which to build modern computing.
I loved the video you made. You are spot-on with the premise that the Mac has evolved into the iPad. The iPad IS the information appliance that Larry Ellison envisioned in an old video you can find on youtube and the Dynabook portable computer described by Alan in 1972:
a network connection with the ability to purchase, transfer, and download "instantiate" files; global information connectivity, such as libraries; media connectivity; and a target price of $500.
"If they make computers as easy to use as the telephone, I'll buy one." Well, instead of waiting for someone to come up with it for them, they did It themselves!
I've now come back to this video twice. I think the "iPad as Mac" thesis is a really interesting one that you should explore more in your videos. Maybe you could expand the idea to talk about how Apple has always been about "ease of use" and how the devices of the last few years (iPhone, iPad etc) are finally getting them there.
Anyway, just wanted to say, love your videos Matt, keep it up... :)
@RegelnDerTechnik And after seven months, I am still embarrassed to be a gamer thanks to your "mac is FOR NOOB`s...... oh jeah i have a maaac, i can make my own website woow... wow -.- `` "-comment. I mean, if you chose to comment like that, please so it in proper English! Otherwise (well, in this case, it's either way), you look like a complete retard.. Ein glücklicher umgestiegener MAC-USER! ╭∩╮（︶︿︶）╭∩╮
@scenscoff Yes. It has an app called Pages, which is the iPad version of Mac's Pages, but they do the exact same thing. iPad has the whole iLife Suite.
I'm not saying it's not revolutionary, but why why WHY is it that people act as if the iPad's interface is new, and never-before-seen, when it's the same thing as the iPhone/iPod touch?
Great video, Matt. iPad has already become a ubiquitous item. Whether you love, hate, or know nothing about Apple and computers in general, you KNOW what an 'ipad' is.
I like you, Matt. You're one of the few Mac users who doesn't jerk off thinking about how awesome his iPad is and how it's going to replace everything else. I mean, WHY would you even assume that in the first place? Granted, it is a powerful and useful machine, but when you get down to it, it's still a flat piece of aluminum with a touchscreen. You have to stop somewhere.
What is Multi-tasking. You can only do one thing on the screen but have the same thing in the background? True Multi-tasking is only in real life, such as : Making toast and tea.
@lAuthenticl Well, the iPad DOES multi-task, just not in the way many people expect. It's not user controled multi-tasking, the system does it. It runs things like say your music in the background while you browse the web or check your tweets and so on. Apple doesn't tend to give us things unless they can do it properly or at least better than the competition, they don't settle for half assed. I'd like to see all iOS devices on par though. iPad could do with iOS4!
@MattsMacintosh I got my iPad yesterday, got it fired up and everything. And I have to say, this is the best thing ever! I don't need a USB or full OS because I'm not an serious computer-user.
wow! very interesting take on things! I think people are overly criticizing the iPad. For tech people who understand it all, yes it may fall short of their ideas and needs. But for average computer users, I think it fits in very well. One thing that made me very excited about this device, was its simplicity. I was at a BestBuy the other day, and saw a middle-aged woman there, showing her mother an ipad. She thought it was amazing, and was able to use it very easily...
@MatrixSlide Do you mean the computer screen? That's the "about this Mac" (called abount Finder then) screen from my 1984 Macintosh. If you mean the image that immediatly follows it, that is from a 1984 magizine ad.
Great video! I think what we see now with these iPhone OS devices is what Steve Jobs had originally intended with the Macintosh in 1984 but was unable to do so because of the leadership of his own company (which is also what made him leave Apple a few years later)
i disagree, the macintosh was designed to make computers easier and therefore open up the market to the majority which dident want a computer. the whole idea was you can be alot more productive if you know what you are doing. the ipad on the other hand is meant as a secondary computer, meant to compete with the growing netbook market, you are even required to have a computer running itunes to use it. completely different goal than the macintosh.
@TCrumProductionz I think you need to re-watch the video. He was comparing it to the original Macintosh, not the OSX Macs of today. His whole point was that its NOT a full computer.
The real question is whether a keyboard dock with USB ports to plug a hard drive or a DVD player or a printer will exist to make the iPad autonomous from a Mac with iTunes !
He's right, if you think about it: music, video, photos chat, email, web browsing, youtube, text, presentation and spreadsheets processor, calculator, basic graphic editing and many apps that do other stuff... the iPad is already able to replace a basic computer for the basic tasks in web 2.0. Not to mention gaming. And not to mention even lan and online multiplayer gaming.
Thank you. This is the best iPad video I've seen. Not "iPad Unboxing" "iPad Review" "Oh, look these are apps you can get for the iPad if you bought one"
Wow, i've never thought of the iPad fulfilling the original dreams Apple had that were never met by the Macintosh, but it's hard not to be convinced after watching this video.
Sadly, though, right now I don't see the iPad going any farther than the original Mac did.
I would hardly compare or put the iPad in the same class as a desktop/laptop. It is extremely limited in comparison to personal computers.

I totally agree. I have been waiting here in Canada for my iPad to take a Photo of the iPad and a version 1.0 About Screen :)

I find myself returning back to this video...
One question though. Where did you get the image at 1:37? Or where is it from??
MatrixSlide 1 year ago
@MatrixSlide Do you mean the computer screen? That's the "about this Mac" (called abount Finder then) screen from my 1984 Macintosh. If you mean the image that immediatly follows it, that is from a 1984 magizine ad.

Great video! I think what we see now with these iPhone OS devices is what Steve Jobs had originally intended with the Macintosh in 1984 but was unable to do so because of the leadership of his own company (which is also what made him leave Apple a few years later)

i disagree, the macintosh was designed to make computers easier and therefore open up the market to the majority which dident want a computer. the whole idea was you can be alot more productive if you know what you are doing. the ipad on the other hand is meant as a secondary computer, meant to compete with the growing netbook market, you are even required to have a computer running itunes to use it. completely different goal than the macintosh.

@TCrumProductionz I think you need to re-watch the video. He was comparing it to the original Macintosh, not the OSX Macs of today. His whole point was that its NOT a full computer.

The real question is whether a keyboard dock with USB ports to plug a hard drive or a DVD player or a printer will exist to make the iPad autonomous from a Mac with iTunes !

This video also seems like it was filmed in the 1980s.

He's right, if you think about it: music, video, photos chat, email, web browsing, youtube, text, presentation and spreadsheets processor, calculator, basic graphic editing and many apps that do other stuff... the iPad is already able to replace a basic computer for the basic tasks in web 2.0. Not to mention gaming. And not to mention even lan and online multiplayer gaming.

Thank you. This is the best iPad video I've seen. Not "iPad Unboxing" "iPad Review" "Oh, look these are apps you can get for the iPad if you bought one"

Wow, i've never thought of the iPad fulfilling the original dreams Apple had that were never met by the Macintosh, but it's hard not to be convinced after watching this video.
Sadly, though, right now I don't see the iPad going any farther than the original Mac did.
