i dont wanna read a ebook on an iphone or touch
this has alot of uses better suited for it than the iphone or touch
So if that is your stand, please tell me what the iPad can do that the iPod touch can't do? I just don't think the price is worth the benefits.
dudes r slow
more screen real estate is a major benefit
that is like askin what 42 inch tv can do that a 10 inch cant
there is a market for this device
people were just expected something groundbreaking which this isnt

Right, but there are no uses that this can do that a small laptop or a netbook can't, ESPECIALLY with the same price tag and multitasking/built in keyboard/camera and so fourth.

^^^Haha! Yeah...I don't think the size of this devise serves a better purpose. Remember...this is a portable device and not something that sit in the living room. I would rather use my iPhone for the time being since I can just throw that in my pocket rather than always having to carry a bag or a case for the iPad. If I was a e-book reader, maybe this would be useful but even stuff like newspapers or news in general can all be found and viewed on a iPhone/iPod touch.
Apple TV is a good devise but the PS3 is better and can do what the Apple TV can and so much more. I have my PS3 running with a 1.5TB harddrive and it plays all blueray rips and files that are not just limited to MP4s.

The Apple TV is actually a great device that no one has ever really given a chance.

from The Onion this morning.
Frantic Steve Jobs Stays Up All Night Designing Apple Tablet
CUPERTINO, CA—Claiming that he completely forgot about the much-hyped electronic device until the last minute, a frantic Steve Jobs reportedly stayed up all night Tuesday in a desperate effort to design Apple's new tablet computer. "Come on, Steve, just think—think, dammit—you're running out of time," the exhausted CEO said as he glued nine separate iPhones to the back of a plastic cafeteria tray. "Okay, yeah, this will work. This will definitely work. Just need to write 'tablet' on this little strip of masking tape here and I'm golden. Oh, come on, you piece of *$$@! Just stick already!" Middle-of-the-night sources reported that Jobs then began work on double-spacing his Keynote presentation and increasing the font size to make it appear longer

Hopefuly by flopping, it will motivate them to make it into a true laptop or even a net book. I think if they do that, then game over.
Agreed. After watching the short video on the iPad, in which it a few people discuss its features and why it will change your life, this is the WORST idea apple has come up with. Lately, I've been seeing a number of articles pop up describing how statistically, more and more people have an iphone. Combine that with how almost everyone these days has a laptop (particularly those with a macbook), and I can't see a single good reason why someone would need this new product. I really thought it was going to be a straight up tablet with OSX on it. But no, instead they made a giant iphone.
FAIL.

The existing iPhone/iPod apps look so bad on it though. It sits awkwardly in the center of the screen. Even though you can blow up the resolution, apps that require touching the center of the screen (like games that require 2 thumbs) are now impractical.
Future iterations of this device would be great though.
