I really don't like it and I don't think it will catch on. One big thing I hate about it is that they tout it as being the "best way to browse the web" and it is so fast and can do so many things, but in reality it's not the best way to browse the web (Flash isn't even included), it isn't fast (if it was, there would be multitasking), and the only apps for it come from the Apple-censored App Store. |

I think it will catch on because many people who are really computer illiterate will find it extremely attractive or use the computer for media purposes only enjoy it. Apple makes computers for media purposes. |

I suspect we'll see something similar to the iPhone's sales: successful with the first wave of early adopters, and then wildly successful when they figure out how to sell it subsidized. I mean, $499 will sell quite a few, but I think $300 + a 3-year contract at $30 per month will sell a lot more. Yes, the lack of multitasking is lamesauce, but I suspect this may be a "let's get something out the door" while we work on it, and it'll be incredibly polished by the time rev. B rolls around. In the meantime, it provides tremendous incentive for devs to work on persistence, which would be rescuing the best of a less than ideal situation. |

Huge miss, although honestly it's exactly what I was expecting. It's basically some odd cross between the Kindle, a netbook, and an iPod touch into something nobody really wants or needs. Also:  |

Of course, this thread will be somewhat skewed. We're geeks. Geeks who code. We needs keyboards, and we need control. We need to see hierarchical filesystems all the time. We need multitasking. Think about the technophobes you know. Can you think of two people you know who would benefit from a product like this? |

Depending on what target one has for this, it could vary between hit and miss. For example, will this generate profits for Apple? Probably. Will this make Apple's App store take a bigger hold in the world? Maybe. I'm not sure how well the web browsing is without a keyboard, that would be part that would trouble me as I generally type in various addresses or visit forums like this and would want a keyboard, though generally one bigger than 10" across which is the screen size. Does the iPad even have speakers? That's another factor for some of what I do. I wonder if Apple will buy some Social Media company so they could have their own version of Twitter out there. I have no desire to buy one and will be curious to see how this impact Apple's earnings as that is the bigger concern to my mind. Not the coolness or edginess of it, but rather does it make money? What does this do to the iPod Touch? That's what I'll be watching to see. |

It will almost certainly make money. Apple's smart enough to consider failure of widespread adoption into investments in R&D. Everything invested in the iPad can be directly applied to other devices that are already quite successful. IPS LCD panel manufacturing can go directly toward either iMacs or MacBook Pros. The customer ARM SoC they've designed can be worked into a future iPhone or iPod Touch. Investments in Cocoa Touch are already well paid for by future iPhone sales. No, I suspect that even if very few people buy these, Apple will still make money. |

Well, look at where they put the dock connector. Portrait mode is clearly what they had in mind for most use. People use the iPhone in landscape mode to get extra horizontal resolution and physical width. It's less an issue with 768 pixels across in portrait mode on the iPad. |

He's an attention whore. The iPhone is a huge success. To call it a miss can only apply on the level that it's not a match for your needs. Apple has never attempted to make a product that appeals to absolutely everyone. |

I do think it would have been much more interesting if it was a real computer, running mac os x (and not the mac os x that the iphone supposedly runs). They just seemed to design it as much like a computer as possible, but just not enough so most people don't even realize you should be able to put programs on it that didn't go through the appstore. |

This is just a waste. Apple is clearly running out of ideas but still want to rip all of the money they can get off people. As if iPhone wasn't enough... They just roll out products so that computer noobs will run out and get them. They always succeed in getting the public to buy a new product right after they bought one that was released a month ago. Its just gonna become a status symbol. There are many better developers of the same technology but Apple just manages to rob the name and fame of the category. Take the iPhone for example, there are way better phones such as Android (with free apps) or Blackberry but Apple managed to rob the name. BTW Is there a way to put apps on iPhone without iTunes or jailbreaking? |

He is simply making the resonable request that if you buy hardware you should be able to control it and decined what you run on it, not the company who you purchaed it from. Well it may not be a big problem if this kind of control is limited to the iPhone it will be a big problem for every one if other companys that produce phones and computers jump on the bandwagon and it becomes the standard rather then the excpection. |

EXACTLY! that's what i was hoping for. i would purchase that 100%. i must say tho even as is the device is capable of being a pc. i mean it has 1 ghz of processing power. but personally i think the choice of OS by apple is just simply made because they'll probably make more profit with a OS that requires everything to be purchased separately :apps/books,tunes ,etc.. but they've already released the SDK for the ipad, so sooner or later it will be jailbroken and probably endup having multitasking and whatnot. on a related note: miss http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQnT0zp8Ya4  |

I really don't see the need for this. If all it does is browse the web and download stuff from Apple's rather retarded online store, it's just a flashy more-restricted netbook. I'd rather have a netbook running ChromeOS for like, 2/3 the price if not less. Yeah, no flash support. It would be better if Firefox or Windows stopped supporting Flash, 'cause they actually have an existing userbase. I don't expect this to sell well, because nobody will see the need. Apple's shit only sells well because they advertise and hype it well (and I'm only talking about the shit here). I love their laptops, just not their doo-dads. AH! I've got it! Old people will like this 'cause it's like a large print iPod. Oh wait....Old people don't use iPods.... |

Background for those unaware: I work for a reasonably large Western Canadian retailer, which happens to sell computers, TVs, cameras, etc. Fortunately, the technology end of our business is not an afterthought, as you might find in other department stores. I talk to a lot of customers, working in one of the largest metropolitan centers in Canada. The first thing I ask customers looking to purchase a laptop is what they intend to use it for. The most common answer I get is that they'll be using it to check their e-mail and surf the web. Heck, keeping in touch with people is why 99% of people have computers. The most common question I get is whether a laptop can connect to the internet wirelessly. Yes, they all can, but cellular wireless is a big request as well. Next up is that they want something portable. Next up is "do I need anything extra?" I suggest antivirus (usually Kaspersky) and ask if they'd like MS Office 2007. I also suggest they might want an external DVD drive for installing software. I also suggest an external mouse, as trackpads on budget and/or small notebooks are often laughable. This is one store, and one employee among four or five, but I talk to dozens of such people every day. Across our chain of 70+ so stores and given that we're a bit busier than the average, that's probably somewhere on the order of five to ten million such requests a year, and that's just in western Canada. The iPad is a pretty compelling match for what these people want. It has a simple interface that lets them do what they want to do without a desktop metaphor to wrap their heads around. The touch-based UI means they don't worry about buying an external mouse to compensate for a crappy or unfamiliar trackpad. No antivirus software to worry about. It's portable as heck, with battery life that is comparable to the best netbooks. Software distribution is via the app store, so no external optical drive needed. Office apps are provided for by iWork, which is available as separate apps for $10 each, rather than one $160 package ill-suited to a small screen. So, at least five million requests a year for something like the iPad. If one in five buy, that's a million iPads among the population of western Canada. Imagine if the same early adoption rate applies across North America. We might see at least twenty million of these sell in the first year. Would I call that a miss? Not by a long shot. |

For ~$500, it's about on par in price as most cheap Toshibas and Acers which is what people buy for that kind of stuff, and it's made by Apple. The only thing it really has going against it for the whole casual computing thing (communication, etc) is the fact that it does not have flash. They need to get flash--even if not Adobe's flash, then perhaps the one that Cowon has running on their mp3 players as the iPad would def. be able to run that, or the one the pre has. But when all is said and done it is going to be a blistering success because it's a giant touchscreen made by apple and which one of their touchscreen products hasn't been a success? lol |

It's that big to also target into the Kindle and other eReader's territory. Personally I would get one to read manga on... no books though. Unless they make the battery use drastically less when your only reading and make it last longer than 10 hours. It's also targeting Artists (possibly?). I'm not sure of any great drawing apps (like corel or photoshop) in the apps store. Sure there's paint and the like but has are any of them professional? Hopefully some new ones will be developed but I'm sensing some serious lack of power for this to be an artist pad with it's GHz of power and I'm guessing probably like 1-2 Gb of Ram. It'll be a hit driving the tablet market harder, and possibly even the eReaders depending on it's success with it's store. Personally I'll wait for v2 or v3 before I really consider buying one. |

I don't remember where I've picked up this idea, but "the revolutionary idea behind the iPad is that it is an upscaled phone/mobile based device, rather than a downscaled laptop". The bulk of the arguments listed in this thread -- not enough power, not a full OS, no multitasking... that is not what this device is. That is not what that device was meant to be. I'm with wtd on this one -- it's a consumer device that "just works"(tm) without requiring "extras". That's quite neat. It will do everything one's typical parents would want to do, and you wouldn't need to do any tech support! |

Well....I never thought the iPhone would be so big, mostly due to its price. I guess I just didn't think people would buy such an expensive phone. I don't know the stats offhand, but turns out they've now sold a ridiculous amount of iPhone's. To me it doesn't make a lot of sense. Even if you buy an iPhone with a plan (~$70 a month) and you break it, that's either dishing out $600-$700 to replace it, or buying a lesser phone and not requiring the data plan that you were required to buy anyway. Such are the trials of a cellphone I suppose.... Anyway, my point is that I think Apple has proven that they can sell things to the general public in the past, and since the iPad is fairly cheap when you compare it to most of their other devices, I'd say it has potential to sell. I don't think I would buy one, but nonetheless I think it might sell. I do, however, think that the "iPad" is a stupid name. |

And if a Windows 7 notebook is what you want, then by all means, buy one. You won't find anyone here who has spoken in favor of the iPad telling you you're mentally deficient for doing so. We may critique certain models, but that's another matter. It can be hard for geeks especially to remember that this is not a zero sum game. Especially in the field of really portable computing, there is room for both markets to grow. The iPad can be successful beyond anyone's wildest dreams, and the cheap small notebook market might very well be as well. |

Not inherently. They do hold patents in the area, though, have done the best job so far, and have, by restricting software distribution, ensured that all applications on their touch-based platform have "touch-friendly" UIs. |

They also do some great marketing to get people excited for developing on the device, something that other hardware manufacturers are failing to do. Other devices (such as the storm or pre) simply aren't being as friendly to both the consumer and developer to generate the awesome hype that the app store has had. Similarly, Apple really knows their shit when it comes to building hardware, they also don't need to worry about being price competitive. |

But if we don't point it out, it will continue, and nobody likes that. People who point out Necroposters without adding anything to the discussion > People who don't add anything to the discussion while pointing out People who point out Necroposters. |

Should've seen that coming. USEC_OFFICER @ Mon Feb 22, 2010 12:50 pm wrote: But if we don't point it out, it will continue, and nobody likes that.
Not true. It will continue whether or not it is pointed out. And @everyone, when the Thread Necromancer card makes an appearance more than once a week, it's not clever, it's spam - or at best, an annoying pseudo-meme that should be taken elsewhere. |
