its the stupidest thing i've ever seen. wats the point of having it(esp if u have an iphone)? movies? no, u have to convert them, no divx support. browsing? not really, its gt no flash support. gaming? kinda, iphone ones. it shud have had mac os, not the iphone os. its jus a big ass ipod touch 
i'd rather wait for the hp slate. which will run windows 7! might not be as pretty, but you'll get more functionality. wat say ye? |

As an e-reader I don't think I will be reading any books on that. E-ink is the way to go for reading anything more than some headlines. I wonder how the price will be here, most of the time its a 1:1 conversion. 499$ = 499 quid. Bastards.

No multitasking on a super (apparently) fast processor. I guess that's what OS 3.3 is for on iPad!? etc etc..
When will people learn, Apple leave stuff out so they can include it later and make more money from fools that buy the first ones etc etc...
You only need to look at the iPhone to see this...
2G - No 3G, No MMS, No Copy & Paste.
3G - No MMS (Until new OS) Like wise no Copy & Paste
3GS - All above but still only a basic cam, No HSDPA/LTE
4G - Will have LTE but lack other such features....
You don't put all your eggs in one basket, unlike Nokia, The iPod is still going strong and it's had more variations than I care to remember, but it's still an iPod, Nokia seem to have to reinvent the wheel every time, N95/N95 8gb/N97/N97 Mini etc etc

Did anyone just see it a few minutes ago on the news? I just did. It looks big. I know its more of a laptop type thing but the phone side i would not be seen with that stuck to my earholes. Perhaps the phones side you can sit with an earpiece plugged in but not held to my head 
Phone?? What phone?? |

No multitasking?!?!? ... Please, I was hoping this was gonna be something great, but alas no... Just some fancy graphical UI stuff but nothing of real substance...
In meetings this morning we were joking about what was gonna be announced at 6pm GMT - shame it didnt live up to the hype...
The Engadget video is jokes... The amount of times the guy goes 'oh wow' just because is does some fancy graphical stuff like with photos or turning the page of an ebook... And when he asks about multi-tasking its a no and he moves right on without even challenging that decision by Apple... |

Saw it on the news, yep its big indeed, beautiful screen indeed. Havent they reinveted the wheel with this by basicaly remaking a larger iPhone3GS without the basics?
Anyway what do i know hey. its a masterpiece.lol.
