Apple iPad Keynote

[sandramccan178]

great strategy .. thanks for posting .. =)

[ClearSkyline]

will all the stuff going on in the world...who gives, a flying fuck about a large ipod touch. sorry....had to rant.

[killahBeez303]

theres no point to this piece of shit just buy a ipod touch dam like really theres no usb ports on this crap so u cant even charge or sync a little ipod to it Its not a computer jesus christ

[HackaFlash]

"what this device does is extraordinary" "you can browse the web with it"

[mattsoich]

its not in the middle of n iphone and laptop, its in the middle of an ipod touch and a laptop bcause it doesn't make phone calls

[jhaye17ify]

practically point of view, yes, i would say it is something you have to think about. BUt, quality wise, I have been using mac techs like on cooltechgadgets. info. personally, it is worth it.

[shiraheesh]

'The screen is gorgeous, tilting is responsive, and the thing is super thin. Still, if you've used the iPhone before, there's not a lot of surprises here so far. Here are some initial thoughts on the iPad cooltechgadgets . info . You can earn one here on this site also. Have fun!

[diego22000]

im just laughing thinking how ppl are gonna jailbreak this thing... thats crazy....

[shysweetcutiepie]

nothing new. just fancy.

[Carlit0Tit0]

no way its fucking better than a laptop, this shit doesnt even have FLASH. he exaggerates too much about this "phenominal" thing. its crap. retarded name also. all it is is an over sized iPod touch.

[johnolazabal]

i think ipad fails big time

[skittleschocolate]

8. the specs are pathetic

9. ridiculously poor customer care

10. warranty coverage is totally ridiculous

11. Difficult to upgrade

12. every one of their porducts does the exact same fucking thing.

13. im gonna stop. i could go all day. Mac sucked till vista came out. vista failed, made a stink out of things, but 7 is redeeming windows, and microsoft. i dont hate apple. i love my ipod, but i use it for apps, music, and video storage, because its thin, holds 64 GB, and does what it should do.

[skittleschocolate]

why macs are shit and mac users are pathetic.

1. its all about asthetics.

2. cheap and fragile hardware made and assembled in china

3.they all look the fucking same. gay and curvy.

4.Mac OS X is like lockdown. no ability to customise(backgrounds dont count)

5.a majority of their components come from pc manufacturers. (sony, samsung, displays are LG.)

6. No noteworthy software.

7. features you call innovative are stolen from other companies (LG Prada, dell dock, dell datasafe)

[diego22000]

im a pc person... i build pcs. im on my gaming pc right now =)

i agree with most things u say except #6

they do have some crazy programs (third party programs) that are for mac only.

in the video and audio industry.

thats all i gotta say.

[skittleschocolate]

ur so clueless its hilarious. the mac doesnt make the graphics. the screen does. secondly, DELL DOCK is the same as the launcher. and it was available first. third of all, time machine is called dell datasafe backup. now u gotta realise, a person on welfare could buy a mac with their check. theyre not expensive. and dell studio xps is the current generation. face it. ipad is a fail, and apple is failing at wowing people. so theyre losing money. its simple. 95% of the WORLD prefers pc.

[ulissitos]

it's what i call EXCLUSIVITY and to be or feel like you are a V.I.P. oviously you'll never going to own one because you are one of those millions of loosers that use PC. Yeahh, I feel conforable beeing part of that 5% of Mac users. Have a good one!!!

[skittleschocolate]

well live it up now, because apples stocks are about to take a shit. also they're out of ideas on every single one of their products because they rushed to make a new design every freaking year. and honestly, having the newest coolest thing is all that had apple going for them. well their designer left so they have nothing. also, their new imacs are pieces of shit, so their name is pretty nasty right now.

[skittleschocolate]

BUTTTT... then again, it will be a good thing, because it shows people that the company has NO FREAKING IDEA WHAT THEY"RE DOING. they put a intel core i7 processor in a computer with barely any ventilation. thats dumb. i have i7 and my studioxps is liquid cooled. it came standard. but yeah. have a good one urself too. happy easter.

[lfshannu]

@skittleschocolate apple would not release a mac these days without proper ventilation. remember the mac cube. it didn't have a single fan.

[htainlintha]

@ulissitos OMG...I used windows too,cos apple dig their customers too much and their OS always underperform, can't handle big games like Supreme COmmander or C & C 3 :P, I am also feel lucky to be out of 5% lol... don't reply me,thank q,cos apple will never win over android nor windows

[ulissitos]

@htainlintha guess what people who own a mercedes benz or even more a lamborghini think about people who own a o ford or chevy or hyundai car ... I think they dont care about if people feel confortable driving those type of car evenwhen one of those loosers say that their cars are the best of the best they prefer theirs lamborghini or mercedes, is the same way for us. Just to finish this, no only because you guys are a bunch of idiots that use to do what masses do means that you are right ..

[htainlintha]

@ulissitos blah blah blah....why can't u accept d truth?? don't be childish loser ulissitos lol....

[TheAppReviewer1995]

I wouldn´t buy just because of "The great new Experience". Because there is no Experience with the ipad. Only an Iphone with an bigger screen...

[Carlit0Tit0]

true dat

[skittleschocolate]

as far as the ipad is concerned, its pathetic. there's no revolutionary aspects about it at all. everything it has, another product had before it. Kindle, ipod touch, etc. mac. get this. MACS ARE NOT EXPENSIVE. THEYRE JUST NOT WORTH THE MONEY THEY COST. you cant do shit on them. but for the record, why do you think your mac is so awesome? iif you can giveme 20 legii reeons, i'll sell my studio xps, and buy the new iMac 27 lt does look cool, and. theres an apple store very close to me.

[skittleschocolate]

how much is a mac? they start at 1200. how much is my personalised dell studio xps with an i7 processor, 8gb ram, ati radeon hd 4850 w/ 512 mb gddr3 memory, 1tb hard drive, a 24" oled backlit display, and windows 7 home premium? 1500. its not money bro. i love it how if a person doesnt like an apple product, its because they can't afford one. grow up. i dont like macs, because i actually work on a computer. i dont just check email, and use the webcam. even though i do that as well.

[Mrzeng]

coool! you can change the background! whoooooohhhh amazing.

[shallbeagain]

Seems like a decent product, I think Apple have raised the standard so high their finding it hard to reach them heights everytime.

Its the best attempt so far at the need for bigger screen size than the smart phone but more mobile than the netbook.

[penorpls]

Epic Fail.

[notafruit]

this guy ALREADY HAS THE iPAD! wtf?

watch?v=EvaoD2SCmNo

[SilentFartx3]

how much ram does it have???

[MaStErHoLlAnDeR]

im watching this with my iphone in my hand and ask myself :what can it do that the iphone cant

My answer is : nothing

The only differents is that is has a bigger screen

I love apple but this is a big Fail sorry

[pakimetalhed]

fIRST time ive seen the big bad aple F A I L

[ipodhackr]

Im gonna buy one lol

[FortuneNeko]

TABLET WILL PWN THIS.

goodbye.

[subzero49]

I don't know if its better than an iPhone because it isn't as portable as one.  I'll give him credit for being very innovative though.

[XRap1dzZX]

F A I L

[Riandy74]

Giant iPhone ?? O.o hmmmm no USB Connector too ... Dis is Sad Manufacture .... i'm sure there will be WAR oF TABLET LOLx

[totter444]

The HP Slate, has full windows 7, flash, multitasking

(dont forget programs, photoshop, games and so much more then gay Apps on how to find tim hortons near by)

Ipad has nothing on it!!! NOTHING!

Ipad is already outdated crap

[milesmclean]

Mac is no better or worse than a Windows based PC. They are different machines with different purposes. Now I suggest you all stop masturbating to soft core Megan Fox pictures, lose some weight and get a life.

[EleVenShotz]

@milesmclean haha EPIC

[mugshaw]

WOW!!! Its very thin and I can change the background screen. Its a must have!!!

[cescobrs]

Hei Steve, my best browsing experience is on my 19" tft monitor.. bigger is better.! I bought the iPhone but i think I'll skip the iPad.

[skittleschocolate]

HAHAHAHA. do you know that the reason mac owners dont get viruses is because they only stand for 3, THREE percent of global marketshare? well now you do. virus writers dont even bother. however, norton antivirus is offered for them. thats saying something. ive never gotten a virus and ive used pcs for 12 years. also, the reason their stocks increased is because of christmas it happens every year then they fall slowly. and did you notice the drop after this piece of overhyped shit was released?

[coudu8ed]

@skittleschocolate luckily for you, you're not tempted to watch porno all day on your pc. for the rest of us, a mac is a must have

[skittleschocolate]

trust me bro. i do. and virus's arent a problem because windows blocks the site. and trust me the virus's dont come from porn or limewire. they come from careless browsing, going in to any site that doesnt end with ".com/.net/.org etc." obviously if you go to a site developed by some idiot in ten minutes, its gonna be unstable. porn sites aren't a problem.

[topgearfantje]

Lucky we have got Microsoft :)

Still no flash support but that doesn't matter since it has Silverlight support. Which is made by Microsoft which makes that it is good :D

[Myrules92]

The iPad needs to earn its place, just like the iPod did back in the early 2000's.

[skittleschocolate]

it never will. because it failed to live up to the hype. it is my ipod touch it even has the same capacity, eccept it has 1/3 the portability. i feel this wont last unless major changes are made.

[Borridd]

windows os > mac os. Macs make better.. small gadgets etc.

[yeomond]

steve hypes the ipad.

*hints fable 2*

[yadda101]

*facedesk*

[qbandan11]

Sooo it's basically a big itouch?

[rbrtchng]

yay?

[totter444]

This is crap

No flash, no Shockwave

Itunes Sync only

No descent programs/games

It is not a computer, it is a toy

Tablets own this by a long shot

[rbrtchng]

it does have flash (youtube). there are tons of decent programs and game (140,000 apps available already). Still, it's just a big itouch.

[Borridd]

140k apps because pretty much all the iphone apps only need minor changes or no changes at all.

[totter444]

Let me guess you dont even own Iphone/Itouch. They both have youtube but no flash support. How can it be best browsing experience when all sites have flash now! Also, have you seen apps on iphone? 99.9% of them are useless or gimmick.

[rbrtchng]

I actually own both Iphone and Itouch, but mine are jailbreaked. Anyways, the apps are very very good. I actually prefer playing games on the iphone than the DS or PSP. And the maps has saved my ass more than once in my life. Not to mention many of the great apps are free or less than $5. .1% of 140,000 apps are still 140 great apps, which is more than I can say about any mobile device.

[rpsxnu]

it will be a success, but not bigger than the iphone. people never know what they want - until you show them something they wanted but didnt know they did. this is that. apple is good at that, now, after the ipod.

this is the first step to the next consumer computer. for most people - computers suck. all they really want is what this thing does. apple figured that out, already. if this doesnt do what you want, its not for you. but, you are not then most people. AAPL@400+ in 2012.

[mazdaspeedproduction]

Your totally right. This is the next step. Rejection is key to success. Nobody wanted lightbulbs but take them away now and we are screwed! I like it. Keep thinking outside the box apple. FYI I'm writing this on my itouch :D

[TheWakkyTank]

This is dumb...

[lewicked]

to all iphone comments: the iphone is a computer that happens to also offer phoning capabilities - it does so much more than a old school mobile in an easier manner.

the ipad takes that approach even further, and that's why it's going to be a huge success - bigger than the iphone.

of all things and gadgets developed by mr jobs, this is the most far out and the one that's going to make the biggest impact in computing (after the the mouse (which may now be considered an endangered species)).

[censortube09]

"the ipad takes that approach even further, and that's why it's going to be a huge success - bigger than the iphone"

No it's not going to be a huge succes. People want a small phone or a full computer, not 'something in between' that looks like it would break into a 1000 pieces when you drop it or put it in your backpack. Totally useless product. But hey, it's Apple! I'm pretty sure this piece of technology will find a few millions owners with their heads in their asses..

[mazdaspeedproduction]

Can't argee. We are downsizing so a full computer doesn't really fit in there. But thats where the ipad does. Say this a year from now or when you have used one. Same goes for me but why not be optimistic.

[arenas6750]

how much space does it hold????

[broodcaster07]

@arenas6750 16-64 gigs

[gcaw1990]

imagine porn on this thing lol!!

[piotreks01]

i think it's got a lot of potential having app store by it's side. look where iphone got from it's start because of all the apps for it. I think this is the solution for netbooks. It does pretty much all you can do on netbook and it will do much more, when developers start creating new stuff for iPad. Id love to get one

[mesonephros]

it should have been called "iCRAP", its only an upgrade from ipod nothing new except big screen.

and whats up with those clothes, he's been wearing same clothes from 1993.......it's gotta suck when your a billionaire and people tease you about wearing same clothes......

[MothaFukinCrazy09]

Nothing new? This isnt the whole keynote just an overview of what it is, they went into more detail of what it can do but yeah it is like a beefed up iPod touch and iPhone with the interface but they added other stuff. one change is you can use iWork. Along with other stuff. pretty much what we want in an iPhone/iPod and better OS

[yuzz101]

sooner or later. microsoft will copy this thing

[gwklam]

@yuzz101

unfortunately, theres an HP Slate, except HP slate contains the entire windows 7.

[klowe007]

Windows 7 makes the HP Slate an HP Paper weight!

[skittleschocolate]

windows 7 is 100000000X better than the max osx lockdown, ripoff, pathetic excuse for an operating system. thats exactly why microsofts sales are steadily increasing while apple's are slowly decreasing. because apple has always been about the wow factor. nothing has wowed anyone since 2008. microsoft keeps improving.

[elmeromero123456789]

Have you seen apple stock??? Apple's sales are increasing and be careful you don't want to get a virus now. Hahaha Windos 7 is crap, compared to mac os x. Dumbass just because you cant afford one.

[klowe007]

OK...I'll take it easy on you. The only time I use windows is at the office, cause they're too damn cheap and lazy to buy Macs. Dude, every single windows OS becomes more and more Mac-like. The $hit you're discovering now...I've been doing for years...LMFAO! I deal with resource intensive applications that a Mac Mini handles better than a power PC. Windows has it's place...it's called 2nd! Not one virus since I switched. Don't mistake Wow for "reliability".

[LazerSharkStudios]

I havent had one Virus on windows, I don't see the whole no virus thing to be an advantage unless you're a complete retard and like to click on "amgz we sell cheap shit u buy fur cheap k". I'll have you know I dont HATE macs, I just hate this argument between macs and windows. As I do prefer windows and believe it has more capability, Macs seem to be more user friendly to un-computer-educated people. Anyhow; Mac is not better than windows. Windows is not better than mac. They are just DIFFERENT.

[klowe007]

Well stated...I can dig that! But trust me, the virus thing is an advantage (for me). My old Win machine had plenty of anti-virus/spyware/adware/what­ever ware crap...and still $hit happended. As an IT guy I know what not to do. But, everyone has to use Windows to some degree since they're so deeply rooted into computing culture.

[LazerSharkStudios]

I'm in love with you for liking a mac and not being retarded. <3

[klowe007]

@LazerSharkStudios LOL...we gotta stick 2gether!

[klowe007]

And it will suck!

[KazCrazy1]

same :P

[cirquedude123]

Exactly what I was thinking!

[kevdog85]

a product which sounds a little raw. no mention of specs? no new software...

essentially a physically larger iphone.

[MothaFukinCrazy09]

They gave the specs this isnt the whole keynote

[colinlikeschapstick]

I love this, I can't wait to purchase one. Apple has just fulfilled a dream for me!

Can't wait to see what they do with it in the future! (As far as upgrades... Look at where the iPod came from)

[tehraztor]

oh wow you can actually change the background...not like with the iphone....apple restricts everything they can

[jackie102938]

this isn't supposed to be similar to a iphone.. its a revolutionary laptop. This is going to explode globally.. you guys watch

[MichaelStergTv01]

im with you but they should put in a front facing camera

[kcaz94]

@jackie102938 its not a revolutionary laptop in any way. its an oversized iphone with no call feature. its a multimedia device thats it. it does not work like a computer and cant run software such as microsoft word or imovie... sooo im gonna wait until apple realizes that they pulled a McDonald's and SUPERSIZED the iphone, then im going to buy the 2nd generation ipad that can actually do somthing worth the 600$

[TheParallex]

is this all the keynote is??

[nicksjunk]

this isn't targeting the phone market. it competes with netbooks, ereaders, and laptops. for students, it can contain all textbooks needed for all classes, for the medical community it replaces paper charts and diagnostic references, for business it's uses are endless...time will tell, but this thing looks incredibly useful.

[detonart]

When Graham Bell anounced the invention of the pelephone, people said the same ... WHY SHOULD I NEED THIS ?

OK, it's a big Iphone ... but with a really cool display where you can read books, run better aplications with a better velocity and use it as a multimedia pad ...

Soon it will bring digital TV, 3G Internet, and the gadgets will bring wireless connection, son you'll don't need USB ports anymore.

Please, people, THINK DIFFERENT! The times are changing ... get out of the common place.

[lexyzimus]

buy this giant iphone and great thing is: you can't even make calls!

[kingzahir89]

Whats the point of making a big iphone,

its just too big. Useless pretty much

[runswithscissorsalot]

@kingzahir89 if you can't afford it just come out and say it.

[kingzahir89]

ya i know u r say'n that cuz u r 1 of them pro apple fan, btw i can waste money on more useful ways, rather then buy'n this. And u r say'n u can afford it, why the hell should i care. Its yours money send it however u want it. What u tray'n to show off.

[W1325]

Im an apple fan and am very disappointed. why do i want to carry around a bigger iphone. How am i suppose to download my documents from my email or install certain apps that only run on computers. This is a waste of money no usb ports what the hell!!

[Yusbel10]

pretty lame. the microsoft courier seems more interesting

[AK107]

mhh well i dont really know what to do with it ?!

I mean it looks like a big Iphone, so for what ?!

[xs1ner]

its just an oversized iphone without a phone

so you need wifi

no mobile internet

and its big. you cant pocket it. so you gotta carry it around and it pretty much screams ROB ME

[Hokie2243]

its just an oversized iphone

[typhoon5000]

I agree, except you can't make calls. Dumb IMO. You would think it might have tons of memory being so big too, but it's only 64GB, hardly enough to store my music and pictures, let alone video.

[Blaster7492]

ahhhhhh fucking amazing!!
