Astonishing how Apple in past 10 years have gained momentum in fooling the ignorant masses that its products will make them happier. guys, you are on YouTube right now, why don't you scroll all the way up to the top of this page and type in the search box "Consumerism-Big Ideas That changed the World" a 4-part documentary that fundamentally changed the way i buy things, or more precisely the way I perceive things in life. Unless absolutely necessary, buy the 3rd or 4th generation iPad; next year
Sure it will be cool for those who are locked into the iphone closed system where everything has to go through and pay to Steve Jobs but it not a computer, it is a consumer display for prior published content.
It can't run real programs or is even meant to. So why do they keep saying it makes computer obsolete. Its OS is from iphone and just as limited.
No thanks, i am too busy getting work done with a computer to have time for idly sitting back consuming content passively.
All publicity IS good publicity. Apple knows how to make noise. And everybody talks about them - the news media, the business shows, the comedians, the blogosphere, the nerdosphere.
to drummer: he's referring to down the road, for the next decade. A paradigm shift in HOW we compute. This is the baby...think fourth, fifth generation.
this is for people with a different lifestyle. Grpahic and web designer like myself will contnue to use the usual laptops, pcs and mouse. Just imagine having to use multitouch for vector graphics and flash design. This guy is a moron. Ipad is not even close to the kind of machine that I really need to earn my living. I stick with PCs.
haha better then a laptop wheres the photoshop and final cut. ect. If your lucky it will be a ipod touch killer but I doubt it, because Im buying an Ipod touch haha
@DJTEVAdotCOM : yea and the rest of that goes to packaging, manufacturing, R&D, marketing .... why don't you get $260 of spare parts, build me an iPad, and tell me you'll sell it to me for $260 making $0 profit. Will you?
Its about time. Notice Charlie Rose is reading from paper newspaper trash; good for lining cat pans.

@Z35011 It's not meant to replace heavy duty work.
Just general purpose computing like the average person.
