To be fair, 10 hours is a great battery life. My netbook has a 6-cell battery and it lasts between 3 and 6 hours (depending on what I'm doing).
But... the thing doesn't multitask. :| I just... do not see how that's useful. On an iPod or an iPhone, okay, it's acceptable to only run one app at a time. But on this thing? If you're paying for something that's supposed to supersede the entire netbook class, the fact that it can't handle more than one app at a time just sounds utterly ridiculous to me. Maybe once they add that capability, I'll be able to look at this thing with more than just utter disbelief but until then... I just can't see how anyone could justify spending $400 on a big iPod Touch that holds less. :| |
I still think it sounds like a brand of tampon, lol. It's too small imo, and I'm not really digging the iPhone OS carbon copy either. :|
|
I think the new iPad looks like iPod Touch and iPhone. Whoa! It’s $499! Maybe I buy iPad later.
|
Between the iPod Touch in my pocket and my speedy laptop at home, I think I'll pass on this. I feel like this product will only appeal to people who are stuck between buying an iPod with large storage or a netbook.
|
I'm sorry but this is just too rich, haha.
Spoiler:
|
I am also sorry (to those who get the joke):
Spoiler:
I probably won't use any apple product other than a simple iPod. That is all I have to say on the matter. :| |
I think this sums up my thoughts on the iPad.

The fact that they're offering 16, 32 and 64 gigabyte models in 2010 is astounding ( There is no excuse this couldn't hold more data, considering the IPOD TOUCH and IPHONE hold the same freaking data amount.. I mean come on Apple!).. and one app at a time is also astounding. This isn't revolutionary at all. I agree with the majority here, It's just an enlarged Ipod touch... They could of at least made a new OS for it. They're still using Iphone OS, what does that tell you. I wouldn't buy this. The pricing is also ridiculous, but thats Apple for you!

The Ipad is supposed to be like a big Iphone except that is is just bigger. They should have called it the iLarge because it is pretty big for it's size and it comes out in 59 days and they said 60 days yesterday. I heard that you will have to pay for subscriptions like to newspapers and magazines so be prepared as it will only be free for awhile when it comes out. I think they are tweaking that now so you will have to pay for subscriptions when it comes out as it is free on the internet for most things but on the iPAD be ready to pay for what you read monthly weekly or yearly depending on what your intrests are.:)

I am going to stick to my new netbook thank you very much.
|
It looks great :D but I heard it cannont multi task ? :S
|
My dad said he's buying one for him and I when the tax returns come since they are a reasonable price (a lot more reasonable than when I convinced my dad to get me a macbook pro) and I'm mostly going to be using mine for school related things like reading since my school Library has a program where we can download the books onto Itouch's and now Ipad's and read them on there.
|
I am not really impressed to be honest.
ISlate is a much better name than Ipad. And also Windows 7 might have met it's match. |

an iPad would probably help me with my vision difficulties in some regards but i won't get one. I'm too attached to my Kindle.
And honestly, I do get eye strain reading on my computer and the ipad doesn't have the e-ink that the Kindle has. :< sure it's greyscale but the 3G is free. When you start adding all these fancy pancy features, you lose the heart of the product which is why, again, i think the Kindle will outlast its iPad neighboor. The battery in a Kindle lasts longer [muuuch longer if the 3G is off] the Amazon store has better prices AND a better selection AND I can redownload anything I've bought anywhere i am. :> Show me your iPad can do that >O |
It has no Adobe Flash support.
And THAT is why I won't buy it. I ttly have enough money BTW, so don't look at me liek dat. |
I was actually a little intrigued when I first heard about the rumours of apples new device, I watched the conference and really wasn't convinced. First off correct me if i'm wrong, the Ipad doesn't support flash. I really wonder why apple didn't include this feature, that means a lot of sites are going to have that little blue block appearing. I really just see the iPad as something apple made to compete with the kindle, it does have great features but it lacks so many features.
|
If I get a tablet PC, it certainly won't be an iPad unless they actually make more functional. Sure, it probably won't have control issues, but I have two USB drives in my pocket right now that each have 8 GB of flash storage on their own, and that's all I see the iPad as being useful at for me at the moment.
