What the hell is this? I know this is suppose to be a break down of the ipad, but my goodness, it's just sucking Jobs cock from beyond the grave. Uggh, I feel like I should take a massive dump on my screen. oh wait, I mean on all ipads. It's way way too expensive, it has no keyboards, and at the end of the day, it's just weird.

The fact is, as is with any other product in the market, Apple only succeeds if people like their products. Steve Jobs makes products that they would like to use themselves, and his repeated saying, "We hope you like it as much as we do". Consumers create the market, not Apple.
@ZamfirChannel Obviously they aren't listening to consumers like me, because I dislike most of what they design, though I do like their computer operating systems.

Has anyone tested that offer where you can win a complimentary 3GB apple ipad tablet? The one thing you will have to do is to answer a few questions, You can check it out there: totallyfreegiveaways , com
Apple has a crazy, time limited offer right now. You can apply to be a beta tester for the iPad. After you recieve the iPad you can test it, write a review and then claim it for free :D I got mine two days ago and it works great :D You can apply for the testing at
theipadtest.blogspot com
You'll be redirected straight to the iPad tester submission page. Get yours before someone else gets it :)
I did the same thing, Did not upgrade my 3g to 3gs, thinking the 4G much more worth the upgrade
The majority of you people Reading this comment won't be able to purchase the iPhone 4g, since it will be close to $500
Your in luck I realized on Apples facebook page today they are giving away a few thousand iPhone 4gs. Oh and, this will take you to their contest website copy and paste
ipad is most useless thing apple has made. They got enough money out of me buying an aluminum macbook then they quickly upgraded it to a pro, they scammed a lot of people with that bullshit. Make it right the first time and dont screw people over. iPad is one of those apple products they didnt get right the first time..maybe when they upgrade it and have more features ill be interested.

The perfect companion is the Nokia booklet..12 hours of battery life, fabulous contruction and the machine apple should have made... the iphone os is a very poor system for a laptop/netbook replacement...Have you actually tried an iPad out? It's heavy in the hand, you need knees to use it (not much good on a plane) and it does nothing useful...
@chancesareshewears nothing useful? I have tried the iPad and my wife and I are going to buy the 3G model. To say that it does nothing useful is probably one of the stupidest things that can be said.
It does not Multi-Task. That is my main complaint, because as we all know, Multi-Tasking is a HUGE part of computing, and has been for a very long time now! I'm a little surprised that any new computing product would be lacking this feature that everyone is accustomed to having now days on their computing devices.
Yes, it does not have multi-tasking yet, but the iPhone OS 4.0 supports multi-tasking, and it will come to the iPad in Spring, so if you buy it now, you can always upgrade to OS 4, with the click of a button on your PC or Mac.
the Adam is a neat alternative if you want to multitask or do video conferences or take pictures or run an open OS etc. etc.
Of course, I can't deny that the iPad is very estetical. But it's just a tablet, just like any other tablet. it isn't the second coming of the messiah.
I could go for a normal usb-contact though. you'd think it was common place today with USB, but maybe they're holding out and waiting for USB3 to be standard before implementing it.
@dsa0224 Ever notice that all of the reviews denouncing the iPad are from people who not only don't have an iPad, they have never held one or even seen one? (The reviewers who were given one or who bought one generally seem to like it.)
There seems to be a Tea-Party movement out there against the iPad (and Apple in general). They don't know what it is, but it's new and different, so they're all agin' it.
@ybravura apple revolutionized the cell phone game for everyone (haters agree or not). but anyone with a quarter of a brain knows the iPad is a product thats most of us already have. I was there at a apple store on release date to try/ buy one. after 30 seconds with a sales associate asked would i like to purchase one? I pulled out my iPhone and said.."i already have one" and walked away. "this device will replace laptops".......LMAO (walks away)
HP Slate Wins again. Ipad is just a total waste of money below are important features it don't have. Why I will wait for HP Slate in JUNE 2010: 1. No multitasking. 2. No USB port. 3. Minimal memory. 4. No slot for memory card. 5. No camera for video conferencing.6. No HDMI. 7. Cropped, shrunken, and de-funned videos.8. Runs only apps approved by Apple, not the ones you may want 9. NO FLASH (90% Web Browsers uses Flash watch Hulu, Youtube, Google Video and many more...)
You are comparing Ipad that usually has a monthly fee of 15 to 30 dollars a month, to Kindle, which does not have a monthly fee and is much easier on the eyes for reading e books. The Ipad with 3G Internet abilty is 60% more expensive than the base model.
IPAD= ENLARGED IPOD TOUCH ! Apple even use paid spammers on Youtube, to advertise and lie to pubic about the Ipad. This Ipad, just like its exact smaller analog - Ipod Touch has NO MULTITASKING (one app at a time !) NO FLASH (no porn, no web full content, sorry :-) ) No CAMERA NO USB ports (nothing will work with it) NO ACTUAL OSX (a limited iPhone OS is installed) You pay for 3G ($20-30 a month) You are an Apple Slave again due to your ignorance. BE SMART, see all the specs and THINK...
god, they are like the dad who wants the son to think they are cool. A lot of praise and no content. They are downplaying the problems with flash, flash isn't just for videos and games. A LOT of websites use flash on they're websites(according to opera soft. 30 to 40% of sites use flash).
Flash is horrible. It is a slow ugly plugin that uses way to much CPU power. But because it has monopolized the Internet people feel it is the only solution. There is a new technology coming up that I predict apple and other companies including google\YouTube will shortly switch to, it is HTML5. In a year or 2 HTML5 will overtake and increase speed on the Internet, I predict it will be in the iPhone nd ipad shortly also
Everything you've said is old news.........and you botched the facts badly. HTML5 will NEVER replace Flash. That's not what it was intended to do. Having dedicated Audio and Video HTML tags does not mean it's going to replace a particular type of content. Everyone knows this......except you obviously.
And I'm sorry, but HTML5 won't be anywhere NEAR standard for another 6-8 years. In fact, most experts are predicting a full 10 years before it becomes standard.
hmmm all the guests are folks who work for companies who plan on selling their products on the iPad! I take their review of the iPad as an advertisement and not real insight
I whole-heartedly agree. They didn't dare say anyhting negative, that one guy accidentaly said 'it's a very low end chip', and paniced and immediately took it back!
Good Luck with AT&T's crummy 3G GSM network. The I-Phone doesn't work right in the majority of AT&T rural areas and suffers from slow speeds in Metro areas when traffic is high. I wouldn't waste my money.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Please tell me your joking.... Being negative?!?!?!?!?!? It does not play flash. Which is THE ENTIRE Internet. No flash means I will not buy this waste of plastic. Prolonged profit by a major company causes a lack of investment in new technology. Face it the ifailpad is two years behind on technology.
"you would let them remake the Mona Lisa, huh suit?"
@devinharris34 Seems there are a lot of folks threatened by the iPad, so much so they waste time slamming a product they have never seen nor used. Weird.
So people don't bring netbooks or laptops on planes? Give me a break, people bring their laptops everywhere. This can go anywhere people would usually bring a laptop, and is even more portable than a laptop and would be much more comfortable to use.
Do you mean to tell me that you can't read a book or magazine on a plane? The iPad is very similar size as a magazine, so come on just think about it.
The iPad is seriously the PERFECT gadget for a plane or car ride.
@Millahtime Would be nice if it wasn't so limited, not running flash, no video camera, and being unable to firefox etc will be factors in me buying a tablet in the future.
Being very fast is not good enough for me when you can't do what you want with it.
@Millahtime This will need several accessories for a plane. Some kind of kick-stand\holder to support it upright on a seatback table so your kid\spouse\friend in your row can watch it too. No way to pop the battery out when it runs dead on a long flight, so you will have to carry a plug in battery back to keep it going.
Any kind of camera will have to be a clip on accessory to pack around.
You fools asking for flash are morons. Apple is in the process of replacing flash with HTML5 and H264 encoded video. Just look at how many sites have already created IPhone version of their videos. Flash sucks, on any device. It wastes CPU power, eats RAM, kills battery life. Steve Jobs said browsing time on the iPhone would be reduced from 10 hours to 1.5 hours if they had enabled flash.
If you don't like Apple, stop using flash as a pathetic excuse to avoid buying it. The iPad is the future.
Very true. Thats what i like about Apple they keep looking forward for their products. The ipad (and other tablets) are definitely the future. Easy to use but also a big screen.
Even if it had flash, haters would still find some other reason to hate on it. Seriously, theres just no pleasing some people. All they do is look for faults instead of positives. Lack of flash is just a very convenient excuse for them to hate on the iPad as much as possible.
I think its so funny that the haters actually pay more attention to the iPad than the majority of people buying one. Go figure. They focus so much on a product that they claim sucks.
I have an iPhone and I love it... BUT... I will not buy an ipad. My phone does everything I need it to do and if it can't I have my desktop. If they added multitasking and flash I'd consider it but until then, no. Why am I gonna pay $500 for something that only offers a bigger screen??? In that case I'll just hook up my phone to my flat screen and I'm set. Case closed.
No multitasking, not the full internet (no flash/internet videos), no web cam, no USB port. I'll wait for the HP slate instead....The web pages on this devices will put lego blocks in place of videos....just like the iphone and ipod touch....really sad...
It's an absolute winner especially with existing iPhone users - at least speaking for my circle of friends. I barely use my laptop anymore because it's just too bulky. I definitely already see some of the same issues currently a problem with the iPhone arising here though. With all this said ... I'll wait for the 2nd generation, as I did with my iPhone!
I am def going to buy one! The whole camera issue...I believe it is possible and highly likely that they could even add something that could connect via bluetooth and clip on(mount) to the top of it...who knows..
If it had a camera and phone in it I would trade my iPhone for it. I love my iPhone but the larger screen would be nice when meeting clients and scheduling appts without the bulk of carrying the laptop into homes.
The sound guy must have been pissed David Carrs lavaliere mic is popping. I'm an audio tech and I would have been pulling my hair out. Charlie Rose is great show very informative without all the commercials and hoopla.
Walt is wrong about Jobs never having created a market for a "size" that didn't exist. The Apple //c was the first really "portable" computer--the computer was a bit larger than current laptops--and the original PowerBooks were much smaller than other laptops at the time. (Let's not mention the Newton, which was ahead of its time and had problems.)
Just to let everyone know, the ipad doesn't have flash and won't have the newest HTML5. So it's just the same thing as an iPod but it's bigger, the mail, photos, YouTube, and safari app will look a bit different, and you can watch HD videos on the YouTube app.
In today's slow economy I am certainly saving money I don't have for a product that doesn't do what I need... I feel offended, does Jobs think we are stupid? Apple will steal so much money with their propaganda. It's all about marketing isn't it?
Funny thing, I couldn't watch this video on my Iphone, (video format not supported) and I couldn't leave a comment on this video from my Iphone either, So I wonder if you could even watch this video from an Ipad.
yeah most, but this particular clip would not play on my Iphone, and I wonder if anybody can say that they watched this on their Ipad, iphone, or itouch?
Once people start seeing this thing, Kindle and other book readers are done. No one is going to beat it, people have been trying to beat the iPhone for years, and all have failed still.
It's not a giant iPod touch, it's really in between a smartphone and tablet computer. It does productivaty software, it does ebook reading, it has a great screen for movies and is super fast. I wouldn't buy one but I really like it.
This is a new category of device???? Really??? Didn't compaq, fujitsu and about 100 other tablet makers create something exactly like this? I love Mac and even I think this is BS and the iPad is useless. As a book reader, the E-ink is better on the eyes. Honestly, the iPad is the biggest white elephant-joke Mac has ever made. I say buy one in about three to five years - they will be collectors items as one of 2010's idiotic failures.
I agree with you completly but there is no doubt in my mind that this thing will turn a profit. If people are choosing used iphones from craigslist over newer, comparativley cheaper android or other smart phones you know they can count on steady stream of cash from their dedicated followers.
The other thing I'm curious about is if, and I do mean IF, this thing is at least an initial smash-hit, it's impact on the 'tablet' niche of computing will be incredible. A lot of us can agree that the ipad could, potentially, suck a LOT of ass. But the products it could inspire from it's compettitors... well, that's excting.
...but apple would probably just drag everyone with a finger into some sort patent infringement bs ;-)
Big iphone, can't use flash, can't run two programs at once, case closed, thing sucks. You can try and find some positives, but basically all the features are found on an iphone or ipod touch. As a web developer, no flash is completely laughable
So, basically it's an iTouch with word processing capabilities, but without Flash? $500 for this? I'm fine with this laptop and my desktop, to be honest.
Did you not notice, as i did (and the whole world for that matter), that the thing can't get Flash? it's pathetic you can't do anything on the "worlds most beautiful web browser" besides look up on google: "Flash player for iPad jailbreak" i don't know what isn't to dis abbout it!
no flash?? no multitask?? no camera?? no one is going to abandon flash in todays world simply put. get real and integrate flash w/ any pd/ipad etc and watch the money flow like crazy. apple needs to get over themselves and pay adobe what they deserve. apple fanboys keep on wastin money and keep on usin at&t's bs service LMFAO!!
my main problems with the ipad is that you can get an 8gb version, which is retarded, and the highest level of memory is 64gb. really, its just a big ipod touch 64gb with different software
@blueblob4 People who own Apple stock or the stock of Apple's competitors care. Also, as an Apple Fanboy, I care. Although I think the iPad is redundant for anyone who owns an iPhone and a Mac computer like me.
Yeah i just thought about that after writing the comment heh heh.
I'm a fanboy myself and student, and I don't on iPod touch, iPhone, or Macbook (though i own an iMac (yeah try taking that with you to the library)). So I'd be in the market for this and since it has iWork and a add-on keyboard it would be perfect
Sounds cool, but like and oversized iPod. If it weren't so godamn expensive. But what I wanna know is, will apple make a video game system?????? Let's hope so!
Government is alot like fire. It can be a useful tool. But like fire it can become dangerous and out of control. For American's government run healthcare means the government will have more power and money. Do you want you and your children to be the property of government? Government was designed to protect freedom through military, not run peoples lives. Bigger government leads to corruption because it gives politicians to much power to manipulate it for there own gain. fght the machine
is it me ... I don't think so ... but is Charlie Rose affecting a more overbearing southern twang to his speech patterns in this clip? Did he have a stroke or something ... he looks rough.
Just because my username says I'm an an Apple fan doesn't mean I'm not a fan of technology as a whole. I love Adobe. They're a great company. Flash has been great over the years. But just as Michael and Walt said, HTML 5 IS slowly coming about the internet. Although, David did make an excellent point that they should put Flash in it just for the fact that the consumer wants to surf what they want to surf. But that leads me back to the fact that HTML 5 is coming. Things come and go.
I can't believe they have high expectations for that piece of crap. It's pretty much a dvd player with internet access. You can't do much with that shit. If apple made a similar product that has atleast the same capabilities as a laptop than that product would be something you would look forward to.
It's a nice piece of gear and I'm curious to see what the hacking community does with it. But still, I have a speedy pc at home and my phone does pretty much everything I need it to do when I don't feel like booting up the pc. And what about future phones?
This seems more like a niche product, not the "game changer" that everyone was hoping for
Triplication of software and "critics". This crab will bankrupt peoples wallets and minds. The numping of America.. Can I text while flying a plane since the screen is larger? morons!
Of course it's dumbed down, you won't be able to grab a big swathe of the home-consumer market anytime soon if you make a product too complicated to operate.

Good Luck with AT&T's crummy 3G GSM network. The I-Phone doesn't work right in the majority of AT&T rural areas and suffers from slow speeds in Metro areas when traffic is high. I wouldn't waste my money.

Please tell me your joking.... Being negative?!?!?!?!?!? It does not play flash. Which is THE ENTIRE Internet. No flash means I will not buy this waste of plastic. Prolonged profit by a major company causes a lack of investment in new technology. Face it the ifailpad is two years behind on technology.

The ipad doesn't look very portable to put on a plane.
ichigobringthepain 1 year ago
So people don't bring netbooks or laptops on planes? Give me a break, people bring their laptops everywhere. This can go anywhere people would usually bring a laptop, and is even more portable than a laptop and would be much more comfortable to use.
Do you mean to tell me that you can't read a book or magazine on a plane? The iPad is very similar size as a magazine, so come on just think about it.
The iPad is seriously the PERFECT gadget for a plane or car ride.

@Millahtime Would be nice if it wasn't so limited, not running flash, no video camera, and being unable to firefox etc will be factors in me buying a tablet in the future.
Being very fast is not good enough for me when you can't do what you want with it.

@Millahtime This will need several accessories for a plane. Some kind of kick-stand\holder to support it upright on a seatback table so your kid\spouse\friend in your row can watch it too. No way to pop the battery out when it runs dead on a long flight, so you will have to carry a plug in battery back to keep it going.
Any kind of camera will have to be a clip on accessory to pack around.

You fools asking for flash are morons. Apple is in the process of replacing flash with HTML5 and H264 encoded video. Just look at how many sites have already created IPhone version of their videos. Flash sucks, on any device. It wastes CPU power, eats RAM, kills battery life. Steve Jobs said browsing time on the iPhone would be reduced from 10 hours to 1.5 hours if they had enabled flash.
If you don't like Apple, stop using flash as a pathetic excuse to avoid buying it. The iPad is the future.

Very true. Thats what i like about Apple they keep looking forward for their products. The ipad (and other tablets) are definitely the future. Easy to use but also a big screen.

Even if it had flash, haters would still find some other reason to hate on it. Seriously, theres just no pleasing some people. All they do is look for faults instead of positives. Lack of flash is just a very convenient excuse for them to hate on the iPad as much as possible.
I think its so funny that the haters actually pay more attention to the iPad than the majority of people buying one. Go figure. They focus so much on a product that they claim sucks.

I have an iPhone and I love it... BUT... I will not buy an ipad. My phone does everything I need it to do and if it can't I have my desktop. If they added multitasking and flash I'd consider it but until then, no. Why am I gonna pay $500 for something that only offers a bigger screen??? In that case I'll just hook up my phone to my flat screen and I'm set. Case closed.

Walt is wrong about Jobs never having created a market for a "size" that didn't exist. The Apple //c was the first really "portable" computer--the computer was a bit larger than current laptops--and the original PowerBooks were much smaller than other laptops at the time. (Let's not mention the Newton, which was ahead of its time and had problems.)

Just to let everyone know, the ipad doesn't have flash and won't have the newest HTML5. So it's just the same thing as an iPod but it's bigger, the mail, photos, YouTube, and safari app will look a bit different, and you can watch HD videos on the YouTube app.

The reason the iPhone / iPod touch were so amazing because they were so small and they did alot.

Why not just buy a Netbook - so much cheaper. I think this thing is way too expensive plus to get internet you need to buy service.
I won't buy it..sucks that it has no flash. Its usefulness is lacking - I'd rather have a netbook.

But just as Michael and Walt said, HTML 5 IS slowly coming about the internet. Although, David did make an excellent point that they should put Flash in it just for the fact that the consumer wants to surf what they want to surf. But that leads me back to the fact that HTML 5 is coming. Things come and go.
