never brought apple in life....will never buy apple...... - from embedded Device (firmware and RTOSes) and application software programmer with 8 years experience.....leopard sucks......Linux FTW!
Ummm... I've read the most recent comments, many of which seem to be talking about this device either copying the iPad or why the iPad started the market. If you look at the date of this video, it was taken January 2010 - during the CES at the start of 2010. That is BEFORE the announcement of the Apple iPad. So... it was out before the iPad even existed.
Will everyone stop talking about apple being this or apple being that! Apple, is Apple, In my opinion, it's awful. because I don't fall for their stupid advertising, I ahven't bought one. Apple are on their 4th iPhone and still haven't got a clue what they're doing.
I am contemplating buying a Dell Streak which will be my 'Everything' device. A phone, an mp3 player, a mobile games console, a video player, a web browser etc etc. It's something that Apple brings out, then everone elses improves!

Apple is selling not because of its specs but on the target on ignorant people who doesnt know what they buying. These people rely on word of mouth but fail to know whats its made of. They dont care what HD video is resolution. As long apple store supplies everything that work on their products. Its okay
@khashy87 Copying Apple? We've had Tablet PC's for years, and HP made a slate before Apple even began. They decided against selling it because the market wasn't ready. Apple seems to define the market nowadays, so they get all the credit.
The reason why the iPad dominates and will continue to do so is software. No one else but MS, and Google make good software but, no one wants a 10" tablet with software meant for a 4" phone. HP had their "Slate" ready first only to realize no one wants a full os on a touch screen only device. Apple will continue to dominate because they are really the only ones that get it. Hardware specs are worthless with horrible software and that's a fact.
Apple only got better because people want Apple Products and what better way to profit is to make Apple Applications for Apple Products. And because there are cool Apps on Apple Products. So People want that App on that Apple Product.
Trust guys, I know the iPad seems stupid. And yes it doesnt come with all the coolness that modemmack offerd but who really needs a tablet tobegin with? The most I can ever see it being "needed" would be portable media which the ipad does deliver. And trust I hate mp4 and Im an apple hater but I do have it and its not THAAAAAT bad.
They all look like iPhones because they all imitate slavishly whatever Apple does. Galloping Apple envy. But surprise! None of them IS an Apple... Smooth, beautiful, desirable, elegant, fast, classy... the ultimate consumer dream. If you don't want an iPad, don't get one. Over a million people (and counting) already have.
i guess most of the ppl that say apple will win dont know that the android market just got over ten thousand apps and is catching up dramatically to the amount of apps that apple has.
furthermore, it is open source which means that anyone and everyone can write apps for the android market.
lastly, android devices will be getting the newest flash player soon where as apple is not allowing flash to be used on any of their products anymore.
in the end there will still be something smoother and desirable about an Apple product. it "will" be what most people want to own although not a few of you here. the market will be flooded with these little devices now. its not hard to see where the masses will gravitate to. Apple iPad will end up like the iPhone/Touch once again. its what the masses will "want to own".
1)dude, i work in an electronics store, i get to use the latest mp3 players from sony, archos, sandisk, and hundreds more. dont get me wrong, the ipod touch and iphone are fantastic products, i own a ipod touch myself and know how good it is. but i also own a archos 5 250g media tablet. which i can keep al my movies play FLASH GAMES surf the net, watch tv, listen to the radio and play music and look at photos, it has a 5 inch touch screen and it was cheaper than my ipod,
Im actually very loyal to mac products. I like many of their products but I wont be buying the iPad at least for the time being. This seems nice I have seen every review and every one else that I see attracts me more to this product. I really love this product speacially the video card power its really impressive.
why not just get a macbook.. it does way more. or wait for iphone 4g. my first laptop was a powerbook g4 fully loaded and i loved it. if i had some extra money i would buy an ipad just to sit with it on my sofa.
if you call it a tablet cause it has a bigger screen then you can call the ipod touch a tablet to cause thats all it is... the ipad. an overgrown ipod touch with books. i guess if you don't have an iphone or an ipod touch you might want one. but i got a true internet tablet the Nokia N900. everything you can do on ipod touch you can do on ipad except for those books and maybe one other thing but 98% same.
This video reminded me that iPad will only allow video at it's worst resolution. I think Apple is running a for profit experiment to see what people will shell out money for.
No USB ports: I agree with you on this point. One USB port will suffice for most people.
No changable battery: the reason for this is because it isn't physically possible. The battery must be sealed within the enclosure (because it isn't a traditional battery). To balance this out, Apple will give you an entirely new iPad if your battery is unable to hold more than ~50%.
I don't wish Apple ill, but I'm sick of them forcing people and companies to bend to their whims. I don't want anybody telling me what they think I need, I'll tell them.
@modemmack Seems to me it's a company that created a product the way they wanted to and it's up to the consumer to see if you want to buy it . Just because it doesn't have what you consider a "must" for a tablet doesn't mean it sucks. If Apple is the only company out with a product like the iPad it doesn't mean they are a bad company. Other companies rely to much on Apple to come out with something 1st and test the waters before they do anything on their own. It's a shame.
I don't need usb ports on a tablet, it's meant for web surfing, multimedia playback and gaming,also didn't apple say they will replace the whole device if the battery is no good? What's external HD video, you mean like an HDMI output ? Who really needs that on a mobile device,certainly you do, but for majority,it's a non-issue,i give you multitasking,thats the reason i didn't buy one already and won't buy one until it does that, waiting for Ipad 2, if you can, is probably a good idea
@modemmack Yeah, at this point they don't need to offer quality products anymore. People will purchase anything that's shiny and made by Apple. It's pretty much the same thing that happened to Microsoft when they held the entire market without competition. Their products became sloppy.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
in my opinion Apple Ipad is going to crash all other tablets, Why?? cause Apple is got tons of experience with the ipod touch and the iphone, if they didn't put a camera and usb ports im sure there is a reason , now, i'm not a fanboy , i wish the ipad had so many other things that it doesn't have , but if you see the competence ..... well i will get an ipad no doubt instead of the un experienced tablet creators :D just protecting my inversion
the onlly reason the ipad will sell is because its apple. apple could sell condoms to priests because they have the best advertising campaigns. they will convince you into buying something you think you need, then you will shape your life around it just so you can use their product. its nothing to do with experience, its all advertising, there are much better mp3/dukebox on the market but ppl wont buy it just because it aint apple, and it aint what their friends own.
@tbgwill01 im not a fanboy, but think about it the reason apple sells is because it looks great, and the os is smooth and doesnt freeze up when you scroll, i wish i could say something different but face it, apple has the best products...
@tbgwill01 i semi agree with u. there are plenty more things like computers that i would buy from another company besides apple. but my itouch is better then any mp3 player i have ever had, would u care to show an example?
@Expertuzo The iPhone was actually a huge success and it's probably the king of smartphones, though I prefer an HTC Android by far. The iPad's going to thrive in ergonomics instead of features.
lol king of smartphones? u must be kidding... i still preffer a nokia n97.. or as you said the HTC is good as well. The ipad is gonna be shit (thats just my thoughts), and as the guy who added this video said, "Why do they all have to look like large IPhones?" thats true... they have no sense of styling a product or anythin...lol btw i dont have any product that apple makes and i wont buy 1 ever...
I hate Apple computers and Laptops, but anything short of them are pretty nice (although you wouldn't know). Yeah, the iPhone is probably the 2nd most popular smartphone series behind the Blackberry, which I can't stand.
iPad will thrive because of practicality and ease, though better features were purposely left out (camera, USB slot, Mac OSX, Card reader) so they can force consumers to upgrade. I prefer a special tablet OS instead of a desktop or laptop OS too. Big iPhone? So?
Here's the thing about these devices... the iPad, will microcharge you for everything you do on it. The HP will have 500 apps pre-installed by thier "partners" that will cripple your tablet if you try to remove them or do a clean install, this one won;t work with anyone else's software... THEY ARE ALL BRICKS... thin bricks, but BRICKS... give me a clean tablet with free/paid apps at MY discretion and you've got a deal.
is it really fail technology i think anyone that thinks that fails at life.... technology is always going to change and get better do you honestly think were going to have keyboards forever?
