although the iPad is nice device, I think what interests me the most is the A4 chip APPLE put together...it's going to be interesting to see how far they take this.

what size were you expecting? if it were small and compact, it would be a damn ipod.Originally Posted by So Authentic

this device is supposed to be used while being mobile, but not while you are walking obviously. for plane trips/car trips/the train/etc.
its not a stationary device, and its not a moving mobile device either.
although i want one, i doubt i will be buying it anytime soon as to how i am planning on buying a mbp.
the device is really only for those who really want it. it is going to be the first released of a new category of devices that will be the next turn in technology.
so everyone hating now can continue to hate, but apple owns the mobile market. so once the Joo Joo and that HP device release, you will see fewer people with those, and a lot more people with the ipad.
much like how the ipod and iphone were. there werent fully touch screen phones with app stores until after the iphone.
now everyone is making full touch screen smart phones with their own apps.
apple releases firs, and everyone else follows suit.
the HP device looks good, and its probably better than the ipad, but apple's products ALWAYS win due to simplicity.
watch and see... once again for the third time...

apple has done good on taking other ideas and making them fashionable......but this iPad is just an awkwardly shaped ipod touch.....it does nothing different from my touch, beside the 3G, which lets me browse the web while I am away from home......I think they missed the boat on this one....

when the ipod released.
my argument in that point was more so for the iphone rather than the ipod.
apple always takes over a market and makes new rules for it. laptops have to be thinner, uni body, and Eco friendly. smart phones have to be touch screen, accelerometer, app store.
with the case of the ipod, it just took over and crushed the market.
but once the iphone released, EVERYONE except nokia hopped on the bandwagon of making iphone "clones and killers" which were all pretty much just knock off iphones with less appeal.

They usually get updated right before school, I think the same time that the iPods get refreshed.

I got my 15 inch when they introduced the new ones during fall of 08. I noticed that they gave a boost in march of 09. And then another boost in October. The big thing is that Nvidia doesn't have a license to produce chips for the new I3,I5, and I7 processors. Apple moved to Nvidia because their integrated graphics card (9400) is still to this day twice as fast and produces as much if not less heat than the integrated cards that Intel offers on their boards. Now it really doesn't affect the 15 inch much since we have a secondary graphics cards as well. However, the 13 inch which is still branded as a "pro" would be affected dramatically.
Nvidia and Intel are in courts ATM (if I'm not wrong) over this, and I hope Nvidia wins the battle because as good as Intel is producing their processors. Their chipsets suck and they really use monopolistic practices against their competition. Just look at what they did to AMD over the past few years and see the court order that was issued by the EU last month.

I have a feeling that Apple is about to take a L with this one.
iPhones and iPods,I understand to a certain degree.But this thing,I just don't see the use.I refuse to believe that any one is that brainwashed.

Ever since then, all newer iPhones have been really easy to get cause there are well prepared so they won't sell out.

If you can wait, then wait till end of Spring. There should be an event around the time the iPhone was released.

I really don't see the point of this gadget. It's so stupid yet you have Apple slave fanboys defending it. What's the point? It's slightly thinner than a laptop, but it's not more portable. Seriously, I can't imagine a single situation where an iPad would be convenient to carry, but a regular laptop wouldn't. Basically anything you use to carry/store this iPad: briefcase, backpack, car, whatever, you can use to store a regular laptop there as well.
