Tablet Talk Part 1: What's the point of an Apple Tablet ?

*HELLO* - So in this 2 part series I talk about my thoughts and opinions on the RUMOURED APPLE TABLET. Specifically in this video I talk about the POSSIBLE features, functionality and possibilities of the Tablet from two angles. Looking at the tablet as a MEDIA device and as a EDUCATIONAL device.

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...

@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.

[DRBUK]

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.

[DRBUK]

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

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

[RomanusDigitus]

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.

[beeing2sharp]

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

[drbvlogging]

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

[irulerockaway]

yeah great protential of getting broken,cracked,dropped

[grafight]

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.
