It's a giant iPhone basically. Looks cool but I'll wait for the price to come down before I bite.
Apple expected to unveil 'Jesus' tablet todayMTK 01-27-2010, 02:01 PM It's a giant iPhone basically. Looks cool but I'll wait for the price to come down before I bite. BDBohnzie 01-27-2010, 02:04 PM You can't even call it a giant iPhone because there's no 3G...a giant iPod Touch that is smaller than a Netbook, but too big to shove in your back pocket. EDIT: Of course, as soon as I post that, more info trickles out... Apple iPad: Everything You Need to Know - apple ipad - Gizmodo (http://i.gizmodo.com/5458292/apple-ipad-everything-you-need-to-know) MTK 01-27-2010, 03:21 PM It would definitely be cool for watching movies on a trip, reading magazines, newspapers, etc. So could you just get the WiFi model and tether it to your iphone? BleedBurgundy 01-27-2010, 03:46 PM I was thinking of getting a kindle... might be tempted to go for an "iPad" (horrible name) instead. TheMalcolmConnection 01-27-2010, 04:08 PM iPad? Really? Sounds like a tampon. I can't really see what's innovative about this thing. Bill Gates was doing this tablet thing 5 years ago. First off. That cracked me up... ...and secondly, of course Bill Gates was doing it... ...but doesn't it look sweet now that you are paying 3 times the price? firstdown 01-27-2010, 04:15 PM I'm glad I'm not hooked on buying all this new stuff. Heck I had to buy a converter box for my TV and have to carry around a portable battery pack for my cell phone.

I wonder what battery life is like. If the battery life is crap. I'd rather just have a netbook that gets about 8-9 hours of battery life... djnemo65 01-27-2010, 04:44 PM I'm an apple guy going years back but I don't get this at all. Isn't this just a slightly smaller crappy laptop with no keyboard that costs a 1000 dollars? Other than touching the screen, is there anything you can do on this that you can't do on a macbook?

I'd rather just have a netbook that gets about 8-9 hours of battery life... they're saying 10 hrs continuous usage (including video in HD), plus 1 month standby time.
