Apple IPAD thread

Yes, good points indeed. I guess it's better to wait for the next model with more features.

Form factor is good IMO especially the digital keyboard.

And yes it is a bit too much moolah for an oversized i-Touch.

Looks like investors think this is the next Apple TV? (aka flop)

Overrated product.

Guys, I think you are missing out what this new Apple device intends to address. This is not suppose to be a cellphone as there is already an iPhone. This is also not suppose to replace notebooks as there is the Macbook line.

Currently, here in the US, there is a battle being waged over who will dominate the tablet / ebook sphere. Amazon has Kindle, Barnes and Noble has Nook, Sony has it's own Portable Reader device, etc.

Apple intends to get into the fray and gobble a sizeable percentage of this expanding market. Currently, only the iPad have functions that no other ebook reader can do at the moment.

Gov. Arnie have recently pushed to have every school (in CA) to adopt an electronic device that will limit students from spending too much on textbooks. California is a huge market for this devices (perhaps another way of going green). Can you just imagine if this policy goes national?

Don't expect to replace your phone or your notebook with iPad. This is an ebook reader that can surf the net, play media content, and make use of the thousands of free Apps found in the apps store.

Will I buy one now? No. After my iPhone 3GS contract expires, I will see if this will fill my future needs.

Hope I'm not turning out to be an Apple fanboi?

i wonder if it could function well for digital painting and sketching, i wouldnt mind if it doesnt have levels of pressure. But then again, baka mag slowdown sa photoshop ito at painter programs

I think Stevie or some tech dude demoed something similar to digital painting or whatnot. Imagine painting but with multi-touch. Just don't get serious about doing all this stuff as I think this is not really intended to be an artist dream tablet. Here's the link:

hmmmm, sounds nice, i was hoping this could also be a digital alternative to sketchpads. i guess the next issue is wear and tear from too much sketching on screen.

then again youre right, it aint an artist tablet. better save up for a Cintiq instead
