1/27/2010 1:16:39 PM

so is it actually a phone or is it a standard music and internet thing

cuz if its not a phone, i actually would be down for one of these, just based on the performance of the ipod touch and the size of this device alone

1/27/2010 1:17:13 PM

1/27/2010 1:24:50 PM

I suspect that it will be much easier to masturbate with than an iPhone.

1/27/2010 1:25:41 PM

Probably $900 and despite being ugly as sin will sell 50 Million in the first year to teeny boppers, UNC students, and people who desperately desire acknowledgement through trendiness.

$499, not too bad

I would like this if I could download textbooks onto it, have it in a easy readable format (like eInk), and be able to take notes or highlight with a stylus. It would be worth $500 to me if it could cut down on carrying around a bunch of textbooks, and reduce the cost of my law school texts.

Hideous, that bezel ruins the whole aesthetic. I wish they would have just made it thicker and hid the bezel.

I'm probably going to wait until the 2nd or 3rd gen model.

1/27/2010 2:57:45 PM

i wish they had real ipads that would send out texts and emails when your girlfriend enters raging bitch mode

It's thus far being floated that the data plan will only be available on AT&T, frankly I'll be surprised if that lasts. If so that'll be a major sticking point for some that will greatly hamper sales. AT&T really needs to step their game up. I've got an iPhone and it's pretty frustrating how limited the coverage area really is. If you do any amount of driving you really need to carry a second phone. Even say between here and Charlotte coverage is spotty and between Charlotte and Asheville it's non-existent. God help you if you live in a small town.

if we get iPad...I'm going to download the iPeriod app

it'll be the only app

1/27/2010 3:38:01 PM

could be good, depends on usage, as a device alone, meh. as a adaptable touch screen interface for other controls (music, video, stage lights, security monitering, etc) could be a nice step forward

at some point there will be devices in 3 overall sizes, wall sized (40"+), medium 'screen size' (10"-40") and portable size (10" or less)

they will all do about the same thing, all be able to talk to each other, but each do something better than the others. the portable size is bag/pocket access to internet and voice net at least, but has relatively limited memory, limited performance, and of course a small screen. (small range 2ft or less) the screen size basically replaces smaller tv's and desktop computers mostly designed for more rugged processing more memory (can both be upgraded) and generally medium range distance (6ft or less). the wall size replaces your big tv and pulls in the internet access for group presentations and white board conferences etc. much more of a presentation object.

but of course all of that is probably 10+ years down the road.

as it is this is a good bump up of the portable size almost into the screen size range.

That makes your device really high maintenance and go haywire once a month.
