Dammit, I purposely wasn't going to look at Engadget so I could watch the video of the thing later. Damn you for posting it on TA .

only if it can fucking multitask

What the fuck is this? I thought this thing was supposed to take over the tablet market. It looks like they just made a giant iPhone. The purpose of tablets is generally for academic purposes, and they don't give you a fucking pen to write on the screen with? We're supposed to write with our fingers? What is this, kindergarten? What a waste of time, fucking horseshit. How "groundbreaking".

I want everything. MEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEME. 500 dollars on ME. ME ME ME ME ME. I want to be entertained ALL THE FUCKING TIME. ME ME ME ME ME. MAKE MORE GADGETS FOR MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. I WANT IT ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL.

Jesus wept.

Capitalist scum are never satisfied. This is all you need.

obviously you're been hiding in a cave

how else do you think they're going to get more money out of us? version 2g, 3g, 3gs, 4g7xf edition

I am as skeptical about this as I was about the first iPhone. Give it a year and it will kick ass, sell by the shit load, and the windows and linux fanboys will weep all over again.

Are you actually going to buy one of these?

i'll expense it?

i think its a piece of shit, it s basically a 10 inch iphone without 3g and the phone. very disappointing, it will only make sense if the price point is under $500. it not its a big fail.

If it is priced right I see a lot of people buying it, especially those that just use their computers to surf the web and those that are facebook whores

499 prolly for the 16gb, the 32 will probably be closer to 700-800

How much after ATT discount?

This is the third Apple product in a row that they announced that has been absolute garbage IMO (iTouch 3GS, new Nano, now iPad).

First off, what is the fuck is the purpose of this?

It's basically a $629 iPhone with the same ripoff data plan per month.

And on top of that:

- It has no flash
- It has no camera
- It doesn't have the small size to be useful as a portable media player
- It doesn't have even close to the amount of the hard drive size you get with a netbook at only a fraction of the price
- It has a worse battery life than the iPod Touch or iPhone
- The eBooks cost just the same, if not more, than on Amazon
- And on...and on...

This is Apple TV 2.0.

additional 30/mo for the service

Now makes a lot more sense to buy this rather than the kindle

This was never meant to be a full on computer like the past Windows tablets were. This is mainly to suit those who do not need a "real" computer and those who want to reed their news, magazines, and books digitally.
I myself will be picking it up instead of any ebook reader out there

edit: only thing thats missing is a front facing webcam for video chat

and they seriously have to redesign the lock screen

So you're willing to spend $600+ just to carry around a digital book?

i find it interesting that, despite all the talk of iphone going to verizon and other carriers (in the states at least) very soon, that apple decided to continue using at&t for iPad data plans.
