iPad - Page 7

Yawn. If this product didn't have the words "Apple" stamped on it, I doubt very many news outlets would even report on it.

The guy that wrote that wants to use a tablet to video conference with a front camera but is more interested in having a back camera so that he could use the device as an awkwardly large camera?? HDMI out? I should be pretty fricking upset that my financial calculator doesn't have an HDMI out too - wait, I'm rational and don't want that feature in my calculator. Adapters? Again why is this guy trying to make this device into something it's not? Why doesn't my pencil come with multiple built in adapters? I would want multi-tasking but I'm guessing that is an issue with battery life - not sure. That would be a legitimate feature people who would buy something like this would want.

y'all are failing to realize one thing: this is apple. they're gonna rape the early adopters and then start rolling these "missing" features out on a 6 month refresh schedule. happy spending!

??

WTF would real people use this for? They should make an iCube. Touchscreen on six sides. That would be sweet. And as totally unfunctional.

the guy mentioned one legitimate issue and 7 h8tr rants

Still, no one has described even in a brief paragraph the difference between this and a net book.

Correct me if I'm wrong...but isn't this being touted as a laptop killer? I'd think USB ports would have to go without saying in that case.

They are also touting it as a media player...with a 4:3 aspect ratio, hah.

Sounds like the fanboys are trying to have it both ways. And to honestly expect webmasters the world over to conform to your/Apple's standards re: Flash, because you don't like it....beyond laughable.

I hope Google has something like this in the works too, completely open source, to totally punk Apple yet again.

Metro: Netbooks are gay and so are iPads IMO.

PS: Flash Video > Quicktime any damn day.

Flash doesn't require a bloated app install, it's a much smaller plugin. And if I did want high quality vids, I'd go for Xvid and completely bypass QTime anyway.

i'm getting one

you mean like they've done with the Droid/Nexus One?

Keyboard, Flash, 50% less cost.

Well I was speaking specifically of the Android OS. I think the N1 is dumb too.

Those are the drawbacks of the iPad, along with simultaneous apps and poor ergonomics.

Other than that, are they any benefits to this against a netbook. I reiterate, I am a supporter of the iPhone but I just don't get this one...

this is mostly true.

Wow! A bigger version of the iTouch. Brilliant.
I can barely contain the "meh".
