Apple iPad unveiled

[AsyZaCo]

He could've just said "What is the iPad?... It's a big iPod Touch."

[NeonGamer1000]

yes but can it do FLASH PLAYER!!!

[andyhmltn]

@NeonGamer1000 No why would you want flash on a touch device?

[NeonGamer1000]

@andyhmltn internet sites!

[andyhmltn]

@NeonGamer1000 What about internet sites? Flash is used for:

Adverts: Why would you be disappointed these don't work lol.

Games: You can't play flash games without a keyboard so it wouldn't work. Besides.. What about the thousands of native games?

Videos: Most sites that display video also render in HTML5 like youtube or upstream.

[daveishere911]

This guy is such a douche.

[robotpanda77]

Where do I put my floppy discs in??????

[doserdog]

Obviously he never took a class in speech delivery...

[ian19975]

THIN THIN THIN, IS THAT ALL APPLE CARES ABOUT? LIKE SERIOUSLY.

[InUrfacetoast]

@ian19975 Do you want to carry around a device that is 6 inches thick and weighs about 3 pounds? I didn't think so.

[MGOXiroxen]

CENTiPAD >iPAD

[omega7791]

Yeah, no camera?!? As a "Apple" whore I can't justify this purchase, I'll wait til the next model.

[minimanfan67]

you all suck balls

[simpsonstewie]

im buying the 2nd gen!

[MyMichelle14]

your bouring.

[MrGatorade209]

@MyMichelle14 DUDE he's not meant to entertain you, he's just unveiling the next technology of apple to the world

[mindlessprimitive]

i still like a mouse.

[mindlessprimitive]

ive finally figured out what the use is for this! an i touch for old people with vision problems!

[soregan2404]

i hate when people diss Steve Jobs, HES JUST DOING HIS JOB! Lol. But srsly its fine if you dont like apple products but dont be frickin rubbing it in peoples faces and blaming Steve Jobs for not creating something you like! You cant please everyone!

[MegaMaster456]

Well,it's (almost) the best browsing experience.The only thing missing is Adobe Flash.C'MON APPLE!PUT FLASH IN ALREADY!!

[BrandonScott1001]

I got to play with one on Monday, i want one now!! I will save up!!!!

[kailashjaisinghani]

is it launched in india???????

[Fullycharged64]

nerdgasm

[zinbook]

I would give the world just to know why Steve Jobs always wears blue jeans and a black turtleneck!!

[shomosnicholas5]

they should rename it the iPeice-of-shit

[Matterz05]

So a bigger iPod Touch, only FUCKING FOUR TIMES AS AMAZING.

[pballpwnage69]

"And I happen to have one" No shit

[ninjagangstaable]

wow. kewl.

[tylerkliewer]

to see the whole web page is phenomenal - we can see that on a laptop or computer

very light- get a netbook for a fraction of the price

phenomenal for mail- we can do that on any smartphone or laptop

a keyboard thats almost life size- we have real life size ones on laptops

its really a nightmare to type on by the looks of it, takes up half the view of your screen

the way the photos are shown - not that big of deal, we can find many different programs for viewing photos for our laptops

buy it!

[tylerkliewer]

@tylerkliewer

just to sum it up, its a laptop that looks like a big ol' ipod touch, when you can get a dell netbook or laptop for a large amount less and it also doesn't have half the computing possibilities of a laptop and not even a fourth of a desktop, plus you can't use high end games on it anyways, wait, its made by apple.... if it was a real computer you can't do that anyway!

oh, but its phenomenal and very thin, so buy it?

[roriele883]

what would have been cool is if he had put the mac book os on the ipad with touch rather then use an ipod touch os on it

[deeeznuts00]

crapple ifad :(

[Zeffer666]

this video is bull

does hardly no more than an iphone, and is ten times less portable\

computers are easier to use is many ways..

u can hook it to a tv.. also the screen isnt nearly as big as any good computer

[XplosivCookie]

So your holding the Internet on your hands?

I've been looking and using the internet this way, with a mouse, keyboard and a screen, and I'm not planning to do diffrently.. Ok you can pinch zoom.. Ctrl+scroll anyone? It's great for watching movies and the quality's great? Uhh, yea it was awesome.. how come you can prove the iPad quality, through a PC and a HD BenQ screen?

I'm just telling you, iPad is just a huge iPhone

[schumacher500]

Does it actually do anything that the iphone doesn't?

I think i will buy the 3rd/4th generation ipad, as this 1st generation looks a little simple to me.

[ellabella1102]

I have it, And I'm happy with it. Its actually much...more... that it. Its more. You can just feel the epic radiating off the ipad.

[09wati90]

i prefer microsoft surface..if it size is this small like ipad..i think microsoft could do better..

[Temparable]

@09wati90 Microsoft could not do a better job then Apple. Microsoft are pathetic now. It's google vs apple.

[Scott1821]

Im sick of sitting on my couch and surfing the net on my iphone so I want something bigger and sexy. I'm also sick of the kindle app on my iphone screen so I will use ibooks religiously. If you are buying this specifically for an e-reader its worth it.

[SorenVanhoecke]

@Scott1821 Sometimes I think we 're all sick...that we find things such as 'the Ipad', an unbelievable happening...

If you are sick of sitting on a couch and surfing the internet on a iphone, what about those who are sick of sitting on the street on a box...watching all the busy people passing by, calling their facebookfriends about the latest new things, without even thinking about those who have nothing...

[Scott1821]

@SorenVanhoecke Welcome to planet Earth

[Temparable]

@SorenVanhoecke dog eat dog, cat kill cat.

Shit happens. We all have to work to get to where we are.

Also, may I point out: 40% of homeless people are convicted crinimals.

[WanderingJew520]

at first i thought, gay its just a big ipod touch. but the features i see it has like pages and what not it becomes more like a laptop and less like a mobile device. i love it

[MrHenryMauri]

This will Be shit when it comes out, but if someone jailbreaks this.. then wow it could be sick.... but will probs end up being tethered jailbreak...

[guitarazn90210]

It's thin! You can change the background! You can browse the web! You can turn it anyway you want! Incredible, amazing, omgbbq!! Buy now!!1

/sarcasm

[Bejacus]

how is better using that crap than a laptop to check a website ??? he didn´t even explain it.... and by the way... does the Mac owners, do anything else on the internet than checking your email ???? also... what about a camera... so I still a camera or an iphone to take a picture ???

[Bejacus]

Yes, a big iphone.. also... i don´t know why but this reminds me to a sunday on the church....

[cloudsheif]

it's soo fcking stupid it's just a big version of the ipod.

[Charlie99Carter]

omg i so ant one but im from england

[MPETE1976]

You can change the background image AND it got a calender. Wow, I mean WOW.

[et3rnalflam3]

Looks more like a digital photo frame...

[soxfan22792]

yeah but isn't an itouch basically a super small computer? so a big itouch would be... a computer?

[magicmand13]

yes but last time i checked the iphone was the number 1 selling mobile device so i dont think it is a bad comparison!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MrZoda111]

i agree with wiidude

[norcalbirdz]

It's a dream to type on...and yet they sell a separate keyboard attachment.

[doggiedog101]

just one big Ipod Touch/Iphone!!!!!!!!

[mrmime00]

thats like one huge ipod or like 4 ipods ductaped together not really considered "innovation"

[Ryandavis33]

i would put windows or Ubuntu on that shit just to fuck with em

[andrewwk6]

"and what this device does, is extraordinary: it can do all the same things that your ipod touch does, but with a bigger screen and with a freaking more expensive prize" very innovative and unique steve, im so proud of you

[snyggmikael]

EPIC FAIL!!!

[snyggmikael]

oh and it got reverse

[hotshower10]

four ipods iductaped together

[ipodtouchguy77]

@hotshower10 i suggest you go out and use one. You are dead wrong. Its simple as that

[Chris22090]

@hotshower10

uducttaped?

you are an idiot kid

[hotshower10]

@Chris22090

fuck off chris, it was a joke dumbfuck

[prustyaditya]

@hotshower10

lol

[sean1256]

@hotshower10 If you truly believe thats what its like, you haven't seen one in person. I'm really getting sick of this ignorant Apple hate.

[Varlos01]

iPad = FAIL.

[tomassong13]

big waste of money!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[XxScreamoEmoxX]

this is pointless. they make an oversized ipod. woo. ipod is way better than this shit though cuz um idk YOU CAN FIT IT IN YOUR POCKET.

[icebox582]

thiiis shiiit suuuucks

[KurdishSaladin]

bu l l ssshhi ii iiiiiiiiii t

[SilentFartx3]

it should have ran snow leopard.

[Paulmaxrobert]

Why did they make an oversized itouch?

Why not make a complete tablet macbook with leopard OSX and not some crappy iphone app thing!

[JT3621]

does it like have internet on it , or do you have to like have wireless internet to go on it ??

[mostlyorignal]

there should at leat be a camera

[supertaj1800]

there should be a slot to insert a disk and there should be at least one usb insert location. they make you seem like the ipad is the only internet viewing device that can fit in your lap. they forgot to mention a LAPTOP.

[ledicarus]

well in order to include the slot to insert a disk you'd have to include the optical reader too... seriously if I'm going to spend $500, I'd just buy one of those baby Acer notebooks with the 160GB drive in it

[ledicarus]

This is like New Coke, a useless product that noone wants and is going to seriously hurt Apple's stand in the marketplace.

[whiteganser]

eh i dont know, alot of people are hating on it, and alot are liking it, it will be interesting to see

[MaxwellMartinezc]

Get a Free iPad, but hurry before they run out, at b e s t f r e e ipad (dot) com

Just enter you zip code

[theopolisy1]

The part i find dumb is that they spent thousands of dollars on this shit to give us a bigger ipod touch when they could of helped people who have nothing what so ever. Its all bullshit. I cant imagine anyone taking this out of their house, so why not just use a laptop

[opolumber]

u can change the background if u just jail break ur ipod touch

[nacholu28]

Ok ok, features not so good, in big, it sucks, waste of money,BUT WAIT, it fits in a manilla enveloppe!!!!!WOOOOOOOOOOOOOTM­OASJNCJHADBVOHSJIVBONWDGHPKB¨M­O

[FantageStar]

Whooooooooooo

New Macbook Air Ad LOL!

[MJRSylvester]

Seriously folks this device is not meant to replace the iPhone, iPod or Mac. It is designed to give competition to the Kindle. Get off ur high horses, take a deep breath, and you'll see.

[elementblue780]

Do you know what the Kindle is? I'd have to say you have no idea since these are two completely different products. he didn't even mention ebooks in his little spiel there. In no way is this made for competition to an ebook. Not to mention, it is no competition since the Kindle would still be better to read ebooks with. So get off the fanboy train, take a deep breath, and maybe YOU'LL see.

[robsitenet]

Giant iPod.

WASTE OF MONEY!

[VanillaFresh76]

iPass

[FantageStar]

LOL

[allthiseverything]

All you guys putting this down are idiots. This is a major game-changing product. For the newspaper industry especially. This is huge.

[LeoSnow9000]

But does it have a speaker built in?

[MJRSylvester]

Yes. Look at the specs on apple's website.

[drjohnny89]

the only fucking good feature on it is the hd capability and the fact that you can watch movies on it,, hp slate is probably better, i still dont know why they didnt put the apple osx on it, maybe then i would consider purchasing it, until then im going to remain a microsoft person

[McAND74]

FANTASTIC i will sell my UMPC fot this for what ???

PC CAR !!  Navigator Multimedia in car and at home Great product very useful and fast with a little fantasy

[plastikman7269]

This is B.S

[mrjole]

i want the stuff that Steve is smoking.

[DaRealDannyD]

iPaid for an iPad and iFailed!!

[alexbettin]

can u pt cd in it

[b00too]

apple is all a bunch of hype huh? i think im going to get the archos 9 LOL

[commentM0NSTER]

0:49 dat ass

[FSUFan1235]

It's basically a gigantic iPod touch with an option for 3G but no phone

[IusePodZ]

A load of shit!

[marc18191]

same foking think as a ipod touch or iphone

[RedskinsMike87]

only the same as an iPod Touch. It has no phone

[marc18191]

i know

[jblue2crunk]

if you can skype on that....Im promise ima buy it...Only $4oo hahahah that shyt is mine

[lukinator1]

i bet u he has a pc at home

[SirTezek]

Wow terrible... i could get a nice BlackBerry & a decent notebook with that money..

[HerrGubba]

He also talked about a year ago, but no one belived it and people said: "Imposible to have it in your pocket!"

[mohamadalikazi]

steve jobs is trying to sell so much of BULLSHIT in this video

[huaweisony]

i wonder who came up with the name?

[crystalpurple]

mad tv hahahahha

[tigranater]

What's the point?

You get an iPod Touch and make twice as big. Who wants that? I want my phone to fit in my pocket, not my bag. If I want to watch movies, I get a TV. Not a tablet computer.

Here's an idea: Instead of making the iPhone bigger with less features (you can't phone anyone on the iPad), make an iMac smaller with more features, like apps.

[2veto3]

i don't know... it's more an ipod touch than a laptop. it's just big version of the ipod, which means you can enjoy everything a little better. but you have to hold it in your hands all the time -.- i'd rather have a macbook or an iphone

[paulovidaurrof]

this thing is useless

[plokkkkkkk]

is it a computer or a phone??? i don't get it

[gtagtagta3]

its a giant ipod touch

[Mohamedhp]

Thanks for the update :)

[Denboeckx]

i think his dresser has just died that morning haha

or he had to spend the night in his car,

....what's with his outfit??? Jeans, nice sport shoe's.... haha

[pixcellz]

@Denboeckx : yeah, thats why the whole world know him and look at you...do you have any identity yet?

[Ix599xI]

@Denboeckx he wore that at the unvailing of the first iPod and now just sticks with it i guess

[sephuroth1]

He's a billionaire he can wear whatever he wants, hahaha.

[IMattNovakI]

@sephuroth1 Billgates could whoop his ass, for a company like mac trying *not to be nerdy* shows that its all a sham lol.

[ZHDesignX]

I want one, this will be great for reading books and watching movies.

[migkillerphantom]

How can the browsing be good without flash player?!

[EmperorChinn]

Brilliant product, what an out of touch, odl man pres. This guy is so out of touch, I can't believe his first point was that you can have different desk top back ground, is that a joke!!! Painful to watch, WHATS NEWS, WHAT DOES IT DO THAT IS NEW ????? This presentation actually makes the iPad uncool to have. Why didn't they give it a shell that you can make any colour or pattern you like to match the gear u r wearing, just take pic n wallpaper the whole thing..... same shit, different shape!

[ksss2000]

Another typical wanky apple presentation as usual.. Isn't it slower then an actual laptop?

wow! "it's got the ITunes store built in" so you can through your money out much easily..

[xReventonx]

wow he said he had one...no shit..I thought he was gonna say he forgot to buy one LOL and wtf, its an iPod Touch !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love this guy's presentations. make me lmao :P

[JamboyStu]

pile of wank for apple fans to cum in thier pants over

[Synthetrix]

As usual, the Apple haters lack the vision to see just how big this will be. The e-book market alone is going to be huge for this device. It already blows away the Kindle and Sony's model. Then there are all the great music apps that will be coming out. You will see DJs and musicians using this product in their live setups. Don't forget GAMES! The multitouch interface made things so much fun on the iPhone and iTouch and it's just going to get better. Make no mistake, they will sell millions.

[azwan1992]

just a bigget ipod with ibook. nothign special.

[NoShame86]

it would be funny if he drop the shit infront of everybody hahaha

[freakgeeky]

Total iFail. How are you suppose to watch a movie on this without supporting it? With a laptop/netbook, it supports itself.

The only reason why some people would buy this is because they are gullible enough to believe that they need it -- total pathos.

[TheRockorlan]

Nointeresas saber que hay de grafico ni de software, porque demonios no me dice datos tecnicos, sabe que se apresuro en sacar el iPad

[ujayet]

Oh damn!!!! that is the sickest shit!!! i am getting this for sure!!!,, time to toss out the laptop!! hahhahahhaha Helllllll yeah!!! Bring it on!!!

[captaingorgonzola]

i'll stick with my laptop

[silversatisfaction]

This guy is worth millions, yet he dresses like an updated Hippie..

No Belt smelly old white shoes... jeez what a lousy way to market your garbage..

[shannonlawrence]

isi windows, mac , how much memory has it got , ram size ?

[Aykkon]

Apple is great, but i think they could habe done a better job than a supersizeme version of an iphone =/

[sixaxisps3azn]

.avi files? .srt files?

[sixaxisps3azn]

ok, so, its made to use in internet, what more?, obviously movies and music, but what more?, can you edit your photos?, can you use Office?, can you draw on it? like an common notebook of paper sheets?, photoshop? sony vegas? specifications? hardware? maybe it will be my first apple product but i need to know many questions.

[bonnhew]

does this have bluetooth? and what are the chances of getting this jailbroken?

[chestery]

all those people clapping are fcking idiots...

[casshan2085]

I really think the product is great..Where I think Apple lacks,is in their choice of presentation and presenters. THey should be open to having a major show promoter put together their show . This is terrible. It simply makes most people say so what...I plan on integrating it into my personal and work applications.

[baussman]

you must be unfamiliar with apple...this is tradition to unveil their products--by having their CEO give these exclusive invitational keynote talks. it's worked i'd say for most of their products (apparently 225 million ipods sold thus far). and this product, not great if you already own a ipod touch. basically, this is exactly an ipod touch (jailbroken) but bigger and costing more.

[ujayet]

@casshan2085 Yeah I think their product is great too and that is why even with the economy in the dumpster apple is still selling their product like crazy!! I wonder why??

[Trevanadian]

Good job filming this one, CNET. You've had shaky camera angles in the past, and I just wanted to let you know that at least 1 viewer noticed and appreciated that you took our constructive criticism, and listened to it. Thanks.

[EaRenDeL]

You can change the background? My life will never be the same after I get all of the seven versions of this.

[redbaaron123]

It's lack of multitasking and flash makes this device a piece of over priced shit. What the hell was he thinking saying that it was better than a netbook

[lilez1231]

is that like $499

[Elmerfudge641]

this is a piece of shit, apple has truly gone off the deep end the only thing i like is my ipod.

even the mac is overpriced for the specs and the specs on this are pitiful 1ghz Processing speed 1/3 the speed of a pentium 4 processor, a single core

[RedDevils0488]

One word (from a Macbook Pro Owner)... LAME!

[iSummerboy18]

Most over hyped, over priced crap device ever. This is the product Steve jobs worked on past 7 years ?? Really ? Is this all he or apple can do? I'm sticking with Microsoft now. Courier looks sweet !

[fastlee93]

i woud rather not evenhaave a computer mac is the best!

[Road360Rage]

I wonder what the retail is.

Very slick!

[DIRTYSANCHEZ423]

OOOH AN iPHONE FOR SHAQ

[robertoi945]

LMAO!!!!!!!!

[TheTruthTTT]

Oh, and for those who don't know.. NO MULTI-TASKING! This means not playing pandora while writing a document. Ugh, eww.

[crackthecorn]

how is this better then a laptop ??? apple come on ...wattever its gona sale like its gona cure cancer ...

[Pinwormx]

Yay iNewton.

[newpepsipopup]

I'm disappointed that it isn't a slimmed down version of Mac OS X and that it's a "iPhone OS on steriods"

[TMASR001]

$500!?!? I don't think so.

[bigbearz10]

...ummm

i like iPod's and iPhones and Macs but this is just...lame

[cjschrissouth]

@ponysito44 i cant wait to see you getting dissapointed

[ponysito44]

OMG !!! best thing ever !! ..i'm going to have one.. and all of you will keep a stupid (slow and heavy) laptop.

[TheTruthTTT]

@ponysito44 SLOW!?!? Did you read the specs? 1ghz Processing speed. Eww. 1/3 the speed of a pentium 4 processor, a single core. It's not even a laptop, it's an oversize mp3.
