  • I am getting the iPad because my macbook pro is waaaay too heavy! I live in the city and everyone has one....

    I have a nice Gucci bag and the iPad fits perfectly!!!

    Ok... I am a photographer and I love to surf the net! So, it will work for me!

    Great video!

  • for media?  The highest end model has 64 GB. This is insufficient to hold a reasonable collection of tv and movies.

    For education? It lacks a proper keyboard. You cannot type nearly as quickly without one. You need a keyboard to perform educational tasks (beyond dicking about on the internet....)

  • Ipad sucks so much. No flash. No multitasking. Apps are double pixled itouch apps. 500 buck! TErrible and pointless

  • I still think the iPad blows, but you at least made a nice case, so 5 stars.

  • Yes! Education! iPad will be the safest way to navigate the web for kids. The internet is full of crap (and I don't mean just porn). Spyware, malware, badly made apps, ect. With the tablet you will be able to see web content without worry that is going to make you crash or give you a virus. The apps can be custom made to teach anything in an engaging, interactive way, Teachers can create "keynotes". Textbooks and periodicals will be much more fun in this than in any other device.

  • yeah great protential of getting broken,cracked,dropped

  • lol ye but u can say the same thing about the amazon kindle or the sony ereaders ? but ye i get ur point,

  • We should stop focusing on what it doesn't do, and focus on what it DOES, and how much it costs for what it offers.

    $499 for music, movies, TV shows, podcasts, photos, thousands of existing apps, new apps, ibooks, iWork, awesome multi-touch interface, internet access, high-res beautiful large screen, fast processor, and more. Sold!

    For phone calls and a camera, use your iphone. For OSX use your computer. It's not supposed to supplant those devices (at least not yet).

  • @grafight

    Actually its $499 for the ipad, then you still have to buy everything from itunes.

  • True, but if you already have an iPod or iPhone, everything you have already will work on the iPad, plus there are many FREE apps, podcasts, etc you can download and start enjoying content without spending a dime beyond the $499 (and whatever tax your state requires). Or you can surf the web via Wi-fi, also for free.

  • why don't u just buy a netbook for the same money which has that and WAAAY more than ur stupid iPad

  • 1:32 Stockholm Syndrome :D LOL!

  • woo the new ipad "apple table" is on the apple website now!!

  • iPad is just so increidble man.. i want one right now!

  • The so called 'apple's unique features' are nothing. They just make things look kind of cool, but they don't really work the way many people want them to. Many people don't want to flip a tablet, spin pictures or make your fingers dance on a screen. This is not necessarily practical as apple try to imply. Many people just want things to work, and fast, without the infinite number of demands apple impose for you to finally make things work.

  • Ipad's a winner, going to be big. Next will be the use of thin film like materials. Who wants to lug a heavy laptop around when it's not necessary? This is the main reason this will be a big seller.

  • @MegaDoofdoof uh.. there is already a variety of tablet PCs, iPad is just one of many targeted to a niche market.

    This "film like materials" you speak of is already being considered by corporations like Sony.

    Search "flexible OLED" screens. You will see a variety of "film like" displays concepts for laptops, watches, phones, televisions, etc.

    IPad is just a toy till the real game changers come rolling in. Nothing ground breaking here.

  • i agree

  • Are you going to make phone calls on your iPad? I'll keep my iPhone and Kindle.  This would have been great if it came out at least a couple years before the iPhone.

  • Look bottom line is this. If you can make something better and look cooler as APPLE has done time and time again people are going to buy it. I have to admit I didn't know tablets existed until I heard of the IPAD. MP3 players were around for years before APPLE entered the market and when they did they took 90% of the market share. So there you go.

  • You know something... Its funny because there is people everywhere saying "its useless" and "Im not going to buy one because it sucks"... But face the facts; you will probably end up buying one... So don't bother being a hypocrite.

  • try watching your this video by yourself. you would realize what a devastatingly long boring video you made! god you have all the time for this!

  • comic books? really? i could hardly imagine comic books being a hugely successful point for apple considering no one reads them. you made quite a big point on comic books when most people could see that apple would never make a store dedicated to just COMIC BOOKS...

  • The iPad is sweet!!!!

  • Apple has a funny way of remixing there old products ... its an over sized itouch ... 1ghz processor up to 64gb flash drive lol specs don't lie .. with a bigger screen ... will it sell ? yes .. its marketed to those people that want a touch but feel its to small for there eyes ... its and orthopedic Itouch lmao

  • Irack

  • Hmmm... kinda reminds me of iPods... the first time they were released, no one really wanted it, no one saw the point of it, but now they are the best selling range of portable music device in the world, and a part of culture.

    The only question now is, would the iPad be an epic success like iPods have been, or an epic fail like the Apple Newton?

  • is that a rock band mic? if it is thats so much of a fail it just might be a win

  • that thing sucks ass, 13inch macbook 'll doe beter. What's the point of the ipad os. They should put a 1,6 atom cpu en mac osx on. Not some dumbass 1ghz cpu en iphone os. Its stupid.

  • Sounds right what you are saying... Not all of it, but it makes sense. The "market" didnt "need" an iPod, didn't "need" an iPhone... Still it's F*&ˆing cool to have one.

    Travelling with this really get's light weight by the way.

  • I think your right. If Apple go the way you state it will be very good. I have a wife that would you it as a mini computer. Apple must play functioning office apps. in at least a small usable manner for novices to use and buy.

  • iphone bettah simply b cuz u still need wifi which iphone doesnt need.....if u got a mac or imac whats the point.....apple made this 4 those who have neither unless ya a apple fanboy!!!!

  • @jahmezie

    You don't need wifi there is a 3g model

  • I didn´t even bothered to watch this video but looks like you´re apple fanboy. ...And you´re eagerly waiting to get your hands on Ipad, so you can tap your penis against the screen?

  • booo keep your veiws to your self if you gonna be like that

  • @54013962 you "didn't even bothered"? nice grammar you little pc twat

  • Ok. I´m sorry. I´dont speak english as my mother language. BTW You asked a question what´s the point of Ibad... ehm... i mean Ipad. I have an answer, there is no point. You can never say that, I really needed this one, this is the thing that filled the gap between cellphones and laptops. That´s why we got Nokia N900 or Iphone. Basically, this is the stupidest thing to ever come from apple. That´s my opinion. Ps. your video is too long, try squeeze it a bit.

  • Good Presentation (move the camera up a bit next time (so your centred). I have to agree with you on the market approach by apple. The end result is whether you need it or not, you'll want it. I think this year will be very exciting re: the ipad as without a doubt apple will be at the top of the price bracket with this, and ... everyone else is already on board, so i'm glad apple came out so early to allow others to set a price that tempts us away from the quality and name of apple !!! I hope.

  • and it's called the apple ipad

  • i just saw it on tv on cnbc and they said it basically a big ipod and yes you can use e books stream live tv shows and you can also use the same apps from a iphone and it will hold 10 hours of charge and it will come in 2 version a 16g and a 64g you can also change the background

  • YOU

    ARE

    FUCKING

    B O R I N G

  • @leonotron potato man

  • shut up, punk ass go do what you do best lol

  • But in all reality, I'm actually quite excited to see what they come up with. Apple has always been a fun company with some great innovations.

  • I think all of Apple's products were the result of filling a demand. MP3 became the new music format, iPod filled the demand for a portable device to play them. The market wanted a more user-friendly and bug-resistant computer, they made the Mac. The market wanted more functionality in a phone, voila, iPhone. Nobody puts that kind of money into a shot in the dark.

  • i want one device where the screen stretches from pocket size to 52 inches from a phone to a tv!! OR a head lamp projector that makes what ever is in front of me my computer screen from a pice of paper to the person in front of me in line!!

    where ever i look i want my computer that is the future!!

    but i will buy a tablet when g4 network is up and running and use skype or i chat as my video phone an maybe the pico projector will be smaller by the end of the year!!

  • E-Ink > LCD

    Try reading a full novel on your laptop. Your eyes will start bleeding. It sucks.

  • Wait, so will the Tablet make a great E-reader? I heard that Apple was in discussions with textbook companies about selling College textbooks on this thing.

  • I can't wait for the apple tablet. I struggled with the decision to buy either an iMac or a Macbook back in October. After seeing them in store, I decided on the 21.5" iMac, with the plan on buying the new tablet next year. Especially if the prices which are being talked about turn out to be true.

  • I am in the same boat. I have an iMac that I want to use primarily for work and then have the tablet for media/internet/basic functions, just to free up my iMac. I don't really need an entire laptop, so the tablet is a really exciting prospect.

  • maybe someone now, there I can sugges a content for apple tablet?

  • u dont need apple tablet, all u need to do is just install osx on those tablet pc. i saw osx in dell mini9 netbook run perfectly like macbook air

    apple already lost by not releasing netbook last year

  • Excellent video, interesting thoughts! ;)

  • well from a technology stand point: its a great break thru, i mean if it run full SL oses, people bring laptop to starbucks is just surf net or whatsoever. Tablet is going to be a laptop killer for casual mac user.

    and because of that, from a marketing stand point: its a fucking chaos, cause it's going to replace ipod touch, iphone, macbook air, macbook.

    but who knows, apple always willing to risk it for better break thru.

  • I don't know about it replacing all of these. The iphone is a phone, the macbook is a laptop, the tablet will be tablet. Your not gonna make a phone call on this thing just as you're not going to write a long report on it either. The other devices will still be better for their specialist uses. The tablet may substitute them occassionally but I very much doubt it will full-time.

    That's not to say I don't see where you're coming from...

  • this video made me seriously consider the tablet

  • Tablets are never going to be better e-book readers than e-ink. Its just a glare thing. I didn't hear one thing that would want me to own this apple tablet.

  • you really need a new microphone!!

  • what you are describing sounds so good, i would buy one

  • Good view

    Next time you make a video, can you try to make it a little louder? I can hardly hear anything with these speakers on my laptop.

  • If Apple did make a netbook they would probably charge too much for it and at that point might as well get a white macbook.

  • On a serious note, you sold me. I now hope they do this. It would be nice & it will sell big time!

  • Who does your hair & makeup?

    J/K :-) Cool videos and you do a great job!

    5 apples 

  • the 'secret Microsoft tablet' looks so good and to me says that Microsoft is catching up with apple. but they are missing the itunes store equivalent, if apple brought out this device it should be bigger more like a 13" screen, have the ebook capabilities then for it to be compatible with Pages (it would need a touch keypad). students would love this to write essays as it would make things like referencing so much easier plus it would work with your library and lecturer idea really well!

  • Also, there are already colour e-ink, with bigger screens and copy+paste function etc, and like you said, battery life is very important, which is again, impossible with LCD screens, with videos etc

    If your main point is that the Apple tablet would make a good eBook, then no, there's no need for a Tablet, but tablets by any company would be so much more than an eBook, it might include eBook function, but if an eBook is important to you, then a dedicated eBook is the way to go.

  • ahhh oh cool, i will check that out ! i think i believe that this tablet could be good for ebooks because of the way apple will do it, but TECHNOLOGY is a factor, and the technology in ebook reades allows for a better reading experience, but steve jobs hates ONE DEVICE FOR ONE THING, he is famous for announcing a device that does many things, you can already buy magazine on the iphone. but yes i do plan on getting an ebook reader, but also i like the tablet as it can do MORE...

  • The need for an eBook should be no deterrent upon getting a tablet, technology may evolve to a point when we can have a one for all device, but that still seems to be some way away.

    At the end of the day, everyone have different needs, but if eBook is important and you're likely to use it hours on end, then a tablet won't be the answer.

  • @Rice8Daddy 1 year later...and colour eink readers are JUST COMING OUT...while its finally coming out...its also nearly a year of ipad...and ipad 2 is on the way...

  • The section on eBook is the biggest pile of what's it I've ever heard... I'm sure you are a be a self acclaimed fanboy anyway, but still.

    It's literally impossible for anyone to integrate decent eBook function into a tablet device, I don't know about OLED screens but as of now 9.6" OLED screens isn't economically viable. It's important the eBooks use e-ink, that's the technology that make reading so pleasant, I own an eBook and I can't imagine reading on an LCD for anywhere near as long.

  • first of all I AM NOT A FANBOY, thats the only part of your comment, i strongly disagree on, please understand what i do on youtube, before you just start commenting.

    in terms of e-ink etc. ye i do agree with you to an extent, but how long do we have to wait to get a e-readers to show colours, proper pictures etc. textbooks like medical textbooks would be a nightmare atm on e-readers, but yes the feel of reading on a e-reader with the e-ink is quite pleasant.

  • but what i should do is try using an ebook reader and a tablet to read ebooks and then give my views !

  • I also sometimes find this whole issue of tablets concerning. Think about it for one sec. Those who will buy these tablets are likely going to be those who own Apple machines. Students are more likely to own Macbooks. So, will a student carry the tablet or the macbook to university? The chances of him/her carrying both are slim. Which 'machine' needs to be prioritised. AND, if he/she owns an iPod Touch/iPhone - thats another critical factor. Its going to be hard.

  • Deffo a good video - I can see the education being a hit if launched. You youch on some nice ideas and i hope its true. I hope they use snow leopard cause if they use a new one... I think its going to get too intense for apple keeping uptodate with three different OS's (iphone, mac and tablet)

  • I think it's funny how we - the mac community. Speculate so much about a device that in theory doesn't even exist. But I do hope it comes out.

  • speculate so much because lets be honest its great to talk about things done by apple, because the products tend to be THAT GOOD. we hardly speculate about anything else, by other companies because the quality doesnt match up to apple, so no one cares.lol.

  • Yeah, that's exactly why. The buzz around this thing is really big.

    I wouldn't buy the first generation iTablet or whatever it'll be called. Just like the 1st gen iPhone, the second gen will have a lot of refinements.

  • looking fresh man

  • Great video man!

    I can see why you are excited about the educational functions the tablet can have. If you could actually get your textbooks it would be great cause you won't have to carry loads of books around all the time, it will save money and of course it will save trees :)

    I would probably buy it if it's gonna be so functional

  • Amazing video once again. Thoughtful analysis as always.

  • Apple should watch this, someone make them see it.

  • wacom ftw!

  • DRBUK, this is probably the best Applet Tablet discussion video out there! You touched on every point of view and I can't agree more with your opinions! Great job.

  • What if the Apple Tablet had a hybrid screen with a LCD and eInk for text documents to save battery life when you're just reading Text Books and have color when you're watching porn?

  • One of the reasons though, that I wanted Apple to create a netbook was that there cheapest computer is $600 without a monitor, I was looking for a cheaper alternative, because all I want a Mac for is to develop apps for the iPhone, nothing ultra powerful. I do want an up-to-date OS though.

  • I don't think it's useless anymore, you changed my mind. The video you're responding too has a pretty hefty device there too though. The courier looks every nice and intuitive. I have a feeling Microsoft may finally win their own battle.

  • for integration with Apple TV, it can be sort of like the Remote app for the iPhone. it could be used instead of the Apple Remote

  • man you should work for apple =)

  • Tablets are really useful but are costly with less than average hardware specifications.

    btw nice haircut

  • I have the biggest feeling that the tablet is going to be totally different than what you desire it to be, or that it won't even come at all. as far as I know, Apple has not done anything that could lead to a tablet. everything your talking about is completely and utterly based on rumors that have no proof to them

  • the sound freaking sucks

  • Hey, you need to be louder, its too quite.

  • I think that the keyboard has a bit of a flaw. Maybe it's just me, but I like to hold my fingers on the keys and then apply pressure for the individual letter. If anyone else is like me, there would be an uncontrollable amount of typo-ing. Microsoft *gasp* actually looks like it's making something better (this is not spam, it's just illustrating my point!):

    /watch?v=yqrDVBJWy3s&feature=s­ub

  • Well, running an emulation of Snow Leopard on a tablet would really defeat the tablet. I see it that the tablet will have to be very much an economy device to accommodate. Starting with the processor, it must be low power; the screen must be OLED; and the drive must be SSD. I see either the iPhone OS as is, or a beefed up version of that OS. When this device hits the market, it will have a premium price tag. It will be out of reach for almost everyone, at the start.

  • Did you know netbooks when they have osX installed gain 20 percent battery life?

    I have noticed this on my notebook with osX on it.

    Do you think apple have already started coding the drivers to run osX more evo friendly on the intel atom?

    I believe that any tablet device from apple will use the intel atom +ion platform as it's that small at the moment.

  • nope, i VERY MUCH DOUBT apple EVER USING atom, they dont have a reason to, i mean APPLE OWN THERE OWN CHIP MANUFACTURER " PA SEMI" that could makes custom chips for the tablet, and in terms of graphics they could use the PowerVR series chips, ATOM is way too weak, but we shall see what the new atom pine trail processors are like, but the nvdia ion is nice ! but a lot of nvdia hardware causes are lot of issues !

  • Quick reply brah.

    The Pa semi are power pc based processors though right? If you think the tablet will run snow leopard.. surely they wouldn't use power pc based processors as the have taken away that code from snow leopard.

    I can see the operating system being similar to the iphones version of osX. Afterall whats the point in apple developing this operating system if they really only use it on one product (I say one because the touch and iphone... pretty much the same). It may have a few more

  • features as far as applications go.. but thats their only OS if they chose to use pa semi processors.

    BTW which university do you go to? I'm heading back this saturday.

  • oh trust me, if apple had NO PLANS on using those chips, they would never have bought the company.lol. custom chips are expected around 2010/2011 onwards, so who knows ? oh i go medway school of pharmacy, ye im going back on sunday morning !

  • Hence you've answered your own questions about full snow leopard support. I can pretty much rule that out. to support it it's like taking 2 steps backward.

    I got to Surrey, got a week of fun then my final year of Aerospace Engineering to finish off. Long year! Good luck man.

  • Just wondering they have a 20% battery gain when compared to which OS? XP? Vista? Or 7?

  • The Apple Tablet OS I really think they will use the Apple iPhone OS if the apps are scaleable. Does anybody know if they are scaleable? Apple Tablet for education would be amazing if they did textbooks. However I don't think there will be 3G support only wifi, but I believe if you have an iPhone maybe they can find a way to tether them together without extra cost plus if you do that you will sell two devices. Also I think there will be only one model with two different storage specs.

  • you could have 3g if the tablet is subsidised, so customers don't have to pay a monthly fee, like the amazon kindle

  • ebook would own and make apple stand out

  • Apple Tablet, Apple Tablet, come on guys WTF chill we will find out 1 day. Why all the speculation, every apple commentator going crazy calm down take a (Apple) pill. Maybe the tablet will have everything people say, so it is simply the best device ever LOL people can predict all they want, like when every1 said we will have the ipod touch with a video camera at the rock and roll event. Clearly people dont know nothing, just creating hype!!

  • the leak pictures of the ipod touch with a camera are REAL, apple decided to change there minds on the ipod touch, for various reason that i have mentioned in previous videos. rumours are important, because APPLE WATCH THEM, every company watches rumours because they can see the reaction from people on certain topics and ideas, yes it may not be used directly in making products, but its still important. We, or I talk about rumours because its great to talk about POSSIBLE GREAT devices !

  • What you say about rumours being important is true but I dont think going on about something so much is relevant especially when a company has given no indications about what the product is. Personally I dont think apple will look at YouTube videos (not degrading you guys who make videos on YouTube) etc and say wow that guy has a great idea lets incorporate that into the product, I just dont see that happening. BTW your videos are thought provoking keep up the good job.

  • oh im sure apple arent looking at youtube, BUT THEY ARE LOOKING AT RUMOUR SITES, they have legal teams watching rumours sites.lol. so like i said, rumours are VERY SMALL TO APPLE IN TERMS OF INCORPORATING IT, BUT if i were a company I WOULD MONITOR THEM, just for interest, and customer interest

  • Point taken etc, but as to guessing and running around the rumour mill its just frustrating when people are just saying things just to keep their fans entertained just so they can keep their revenue flowing. Any1 can make a video saying what they want but of course if what they are saying is not credible then for me it is pure speculation.

  • yep i agree, i know ill be dissapointed.lol. BUT i will still look around for a tablet LIKE device, so you wont hear me getting all angry about rumours etc.lol. i already said in this video that i will look around for a Gigabyte netbook tablet, for a similar experience...also its just fun to talk about rumours and the great POSSIBILITIES of technology !

  • Hey man technology news and rumours is what keeps me subscribed to you, Im just ranting because Ive heard the words Apple Tablet too many times in 1 day LOL. Its all good man your thoughts are always appreciated.

  • lol i know...i get worried when i put a video up on tablets, im like oh no, my viewers are prb sick of this.lol. i have two more vids, one tomorrow and one on friday, then an app review on saturday and im done for a while ! back to university, so even if there is more tablet news in the weeks to come, i wont be able to cover it ! at least it will give you guys (viewers) a break.lol.

  • LOL have fun at UNI Im relaxing as iv just graduated this year :-)

  • 10 inches with a phisical keyboard id buy one but 9 inches come on apple

  • who says the tablet will have a phone application, i dont think they will as the iphone will lose sales

  • i dont see the iphone loosing sales on apps.lol. the tablet will be about ve 500 and the iphone is below 200, so no way, more ppl will have an iphone and ipod touch,

  • hey have you thought about a tablet with an OLED screen that would be awesome!

  • Comment removed

  • i think that the tablet should replace the apple tv as the "box in your living room" so that when you got to your home network you could manage all your media on the big screen. also it would have an HDMI port.

  • -I totally agree with the E-reader idea. I've imagined myself reading an Apple tablet, with colored screen, while listening to music at the same time.

    -Steve Jobs often says that Apple makes products that they want. Now how about a Star Trek gizmo that can do mobile video chat? With the Apple Tablet you now have enough hardware and space to do video chat.

    -GPS, navigation, and augmented reality. So many possibilities!

  • If and when a Tablet comes out I would want to use it instead of paper for taking notes. If it could do this it would be awesome for me, if not I don't see how I'd use it.

  • i think apple will HAVE TO INCLUDE A STYLUS, not for the PRIMARY INPUT, that would be your fingers, BUT for writing YES, because i agree with you !

  • Essentially, if Apple get some kind of Touch Pages / iWork on a Tablet which I can use handwriting on, and some useful eBooks are available, like that would be useful for my course, they have sold me a Tablet lol.

  • how do you know it's going to be a tablet? it could be a macbook touch.. lol

  • I agree totally, I love the Idea of it, I am also a student, and your ideas are genius. I think this would be an amazing device.

  • watch SOLDIERKNOWSBEST channel about the courier so so so cool

  • ye ive already read about this yesterday ! sounds cool

  • Anyone please reply or send me a link to it

  • lol there is no REAL pic or a strong RUMOURED picture, its all pure rumours and leaks from manufacturers who supply parts for the SUPPOSED apple tablet.lol. im laughing because it could ALL BE FAKE, but even if apple dont make one I WILL STILL GET ONE ! maybe from asus, or microsoft etc. the gigabyte netbook tablet system looks nice !

  • Thanks for the reply. i was confused when you said it was rumours because there are loads of picture floating around the net so i didn't want to get miss led.

  • How does the Apple tablet looks like? Is it a bigger version of the iPod Phone? Has anyone has a picture of it.

  • You never fail to disappoint, rock on, REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO THE REVIEW ON the LOGITECH PERFORMANCE MOUSE MX

  • i just think tablets are useless. i have one and i NEVER use it in tablet form, i always use it in normal laptop form

  • maybe the tablet will output video onto T.Vs like the zune does in HD? what do you guys think?

  • ahh yes thats a good idea !

  • ahh DRBUK you replied! i have tried to hit you up on twitter but not sure how it works properly.

    anyway the output function could be how it links in with the apple tv, if it output videos in a defination as high as the apple tv it could even kill it off?

  • have u seen the new Microsoft courier? Microsoft is a copycat of apples iphone in the touch screen just look at how it zooms JUST LIKE THE iPHONE and MACBOOKS! and how u pinch the pictures to zoom in and such and the layout looks much like OSX lol hahahaha steve jobs should sue Microsoft‬

  • you are so calm in your vids but in your streams you are more open i knoticed... that tablet shit will be an oversized ipod touch

  • lol im always calm, i think u mean less open in my vids...urm not really, im always open to things, but i have my views too, and this video i just talked about what the tablet could do, my views are that this is going to be a great device for me, if its real.lol

  • drbuk watch soldierknowbest vid about Microsoft's Secret Tablet "Courier"

  • ye, ive already read up a lot on courier, its a quick and smart move by microsoft, but i think apple are ahead of them, but thats still good for microsoft, they could see what apple are doing and beat that

  • hmmm.. you have a lot of hats, do a hat collection video :D

  • i love comic books

  • ux is nothing compared to what apple would do....look at ux...looks ugly to me

  • wow ur obbsesed with apple

  • lol i wouldnt say that, id say im obsessed with TABLETS, because if apple dont make one, i dont care ill buy a tablet made from other companies as i really want one !

  • i wouldnt take it to places i would use it at home and take anyware i want to take it all around my home.... i wouldnt mind taking it everywere

  • i hate ebook readers how do you stand them they hurt your eyes and they begin t strain while reading too long. i'd rather stick with actual books.

  • This tablet will certainly be a rip off of the Sony Vaio UX.

  • your joking right, the UX was a joke, Apple would NEVER LET SOMETHING THAT looks like the UX be made.lol. apple want to GET RID OF KEYBOARDS, not add one, and then make that a sliding keyboard, no way

  • @DRBUK

    I kind of liked the Vaio UX.

    = Don't forget that it was first released several years ago.

    It was quite revolutionary and powerful device in its time.

    The screen will definitely be bigger.

    But if they drop the physical keyboard, it won't make things easy for the user to handle many applications in a full Snow leopard environment.

  • ye i shouldnt say it was a joke, i meant that TO COMPARE IT to an apple device its a bit of a joke, BUT yes even i remember WANTING one of those UX for years.lol. i mean looked pretty crazy all those years ago...i tell you whats great, the OQO, that was made by ex apple employees...to bad the company I THINK has gone bankrupt a few months ago...yes i think the tablet with no keyboard that has snow leopard could have prbs...UNLESS you can connect a bluetooth keyboard to it !

  • @DRBUK

    I agree.

    One last thing:

    There is one important issue that you didn't talk about too much = the Hardware.

    I PREY that apple doesn't integrate one of those Intel Atom processor with an Intel graphic solution in it.

    = If it's painfully slow and that it can't even read 720p videos, this tablet won't be worth buying.

  • no need to pray, apple own a chip manufacturer "PA SEMI", so they could use that company to make there own processors or contract samsung to supply them with arm processors. NO WAY APPLE WILL CHOOSE atom, atm atom processors are a joke. TBH im waiting for the new atom processors, the PINE TRAIL series. in terms of graphics, apple could go nvdia and choose the TEGRA, but i doubt it, they will still use the PowerVR series of chips

  • I don't see who would buy their primary computer, an iphone/ipod touch, AND this tablet. Seems like a waste of money to me.

  • yes but there are people who would buy all three.lol. i think for me id have my primary computer, then the tablet thats it..but i dont want to make that promise now.lol. i wouldnt mind having all three, but i also dont mind having my macbook, tablet and some cheap phone, ONLY if the tablet ran the iphone apps as well.

  • watch Microsoft's Secret Tablet "Courier" vid :)

    its on SOLDIERKNOWSBEST CHANNEL

  • i use my iphone as a PHONE, so to have all three is fine, i have my primary mac as the main work station, the tablet as a ebook reader and a good media device and my iphone as a PHONE.

  • i'm thinking the tablet could also be able to read ebooks

  • iPod touch = Striped down iPhone.

    iTablet (haha) = iPod touch with larger screen.

    See my point?

  • yes and no. BUT if the tablet uses a version of snow leopard then the tablet wont be a striped down ipod touch

  • nice haircut

  • More of a MacBook touch?

    Google images, search "macbook touch", second picture (450 x 383). that would be kinda awesome :D

  • will the tablet have an iphone OS or Mac OSX? If it has an iphone OS I wouldnt use it. id rather have a 13'' macbook and an iphone

  • im thinking you may have changed my mind regarding the tablet. not so much as a media device, i have my ipod touch and my macbook pro, but definitely from an educational standpoint. i start uni in a week or so and if i could get the law books i need as ebooks, and read and annotate them on this device, it would certainly be attractive. especially if apple could build in natural gestures like flicking to turn the page and so on.

    can you get your pharmaceutical textbooks as ebooks already?

  • Dude, completely agree with you on the ebook reader thing.

  • dude i really think you are one of the best tech speakers/reviewer on YouTube. You really go well in depth on many rumors and topics and explain it very well showing your opinion as well. Thanks man, i love your videos.

    Also i appreciate that you reply to many comments!

  • They'll get more desktop developers for the tablet and because of that, it'll get more people on to buying iMacs over Windows PC's.
