Apple expected to unveil 'Jesus' tablet today

they're saying 10 hrs continuous usage (including video in HD), plus 1 month standby time.

That's a bald-faced lie....guaranteed!

I'm so with saden. Unless they invented the 27-cell battery, no way in hell.

I could maybe see it being comparable to a netbook but without a keyboard...

I so got a kick out of this:

Like what you did there. I don't know where that came from. :(

The 16GB WiFi model is $499

Yeah OK, but what is it? Is it in impractical IPOD or just a crappy computer? If they offer a successful line of touch-screen music/game players and a successful line of laptops, what need is this fulfilling? It's like the worst of both worlds, too big to be portable, but not equipped with enough horsepower to compete with even a bottom of the line macbook (which is only nominally bigger). Don't get it.

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.

lol!
Low-end model = Min iPad
High-end model = Max iPad

Is there a multi-pack??

That's kind of where I see it. Wife and I were discussing this earlier... So you carry a Laptop, a smartphone, a mp3 player and a netbook/tablet...? the categories are really spilling over into one another...

I agree, it's underwhelming. Until there's a killer app I think most will be in wait and see mode with it.

Yeah as soon as netbooks come with a hd screen that are touch screens and are sold at a comparable price why the hell would you want this? And why the hell would you want this in the first place. Its just a big ipod touch, without the ability to carry it around easily. Plus youll want to get a case for it, so wouldnt you rather just have a netbook that flips open. Plus no real key board makes it useless for typing anything.

I volunteer/mentor a finance club at VCU and was talking to a few of the kids about it. Apparently the big market is going to be text books (which are already being heavily sold in data form). But all of them said they wouldn’t want to have to read text off a monitor for a 4+ hour crash session. Plus you cant really take it to class to take notes, because no key board. And it has a crappy os compared to netbooks or laptops, which means no multi tasking. So if you want to have your text book open, your notes from class, the internet for searching terms and chatting with other students no can do with the ipad. Maybe the heavy flow version that comes out will fix it, but this thing seems worthless in the day of netbooks.

Apple just needs to come out with a tablet netbook that innovates, not this piece of crap. Oh yeah no flash support and no USB drive (a usb adapter is available, but is just a scam for more money and adds to the bulk), what the hell is that? This thing is a joke.
