Apple iPad!!!!!

[Luke122]

OMFG.. 10" tablet, $499.

I'm pretty excited about this. There's been thousands of "leaks" about this over the last year or so, but they finally confirmed this morning that Apple is releasing a tablet! I just finished with the live coverage over on Engadget, and I'm sold.

16gb storage, 9.7" multitouch LCD, 802.11n wifi, bluetooth, 1ghz processor (Apple's own), and $499 price.
32gb or 64gb models available for 599 or 699, and a 3g option for each of them for an additional $130.

Pretty amazing!

[artoodeeto]

so is the iPad like a coaster on which to put your iCoffee? :P j/k.... sounds awesome. I'm astounded at the price too!

[Snowman]

i watched as well and i dont know as far as apple products go i think they may have dropped the ball a little here.. it is however unlocked and accepts sims on the gsm version... so unlocked and accepts sims usually only means one thing, kind of like a drunk girl on prom night.

[Datech]

Yay! No we have an even bigger iPod Touch that STILL doesn't multitask well with no integrated camera! Hooray fanboys!

Jk, I'll check it out and see if its worth it. If anything it'll give Kindle a run for its money.

[Oneslowz28]

I worry about my iTouch getting a broken screen if I lay it on a table too hard. I can only imagine the price of a new screen on one of these.

Either way it will be huge for their app store and will let devs work on bigger things.

[Luke122]

For $499, it's all that I wanted for a price I'm shocked at. Hell, they could have said $899 and up, and I still would have thought "wow, that's cool!"

The portable media, browsing, and ebook reader functionality sold me, but the gaming really suprised me. Will I buy one? Not likely.. at least not until I just happen to have that kind of money to spend, and the 2nd generation model comes out. :)

[Technochicken]

The lack of multitasking, a real OS, and USB kind of killed it for me. I must say though, it is one good looking piece of hardware.

[chaksq]

I like it from a hardware standpoint. However Apples software is still Apple software and it really doesn't cut it. Sure it makes things easy, but when you want to do something Steve Jobs didn't think of or thinks you are too stupid to do, it messes up.

I did notice on the Apple website that they a USB adaptor that plugs into the dock. It's advertised as being for connecting cameras for uploading pictures, I'm curious if other functionality can be applied to this.

[Luke122]

I'm looking at this device as a peripheral.. a method of surfing/watching/reading when I'm travelling, or laying in bed. If this was to be my only "PC", then yes, it would be lacking. For what I would use it for, I think it's awesome. :D

[Zephik]

How is this thing any better than other portable computing devices out there? Why would I buy this over, say, a netbook?

I can see these things in a business atmosphere, like maybe for a secretary or personal assistant or what-not, but I don't really get why an average consumer would pick one of these up. It feels too much like paying more for less to me. I'd much rather have a netbook.

The price shocked me at first, but then I remembered that is only because I was expecting either a MacBook Tablet or something that was a little more closer to a netbook. This being more like a giant iPod than a real tablet, the price isn't that shocking.

Kind of funny that I feel the same about netbooks. Anything with less than a 15" screen is useless to me.

Give me a REAL laptop any day.

But I do have to admit that this is the best of class so far. The design is nice and the functionality is good as far as I can tell. I would like it more if it were bigger and ran MacOS.

[Luke122]

I would like it more if it were bigger and ran MacOS.

Let's start the rumor mill on the iPad 2.0!

15" LCD, same 1/2 inch thick, but with 16 hours of battery instead of 10. Will have at least 2 usb ports, a 2ghz cpu, 4gb ram, 32gb ssd, and an Nvidia chipset. $299!!!

You read it here first.
;)

As for the "why this over a netbook?" question.. If I already have a laptop, why would I need a netbook? For work purposes, laptop wins. For chillin' in bed, or on a plane/bus/train/whatever, this would win.

[Zephik]

Then what's the point of having a laptop? If you already have a laptop, then why would you need this or a netbook?

I see these watered down products as companions to a desktop, as if you already have a portable computer, then why would you need something else?

I still don't see how this is in just about any way better than a netbook.

[Luke122]

My desktop sucks. :D Like I said, I dont think of this as a portable computer, I think of it as a large screen PMP, that just happens to have internet surfing ability. :)

Goodbye Axim X51v.. you were good, but you are small.

[OvRiDe]

I haven't really kept up on this too much, so I was curious about the specs. From what I have gathered is it basically just an iPod Touch with a 10" touch screen?

I can see a definite use for a device like this. 499 does seem steep but if you think about it, pda with a small screen and way less functionality such as my Dell Axim went for more the 400. But like Luke said.. its would be no means be a replacement for a primary machine, but rather a network peripheral or a convenience.

[Zephik]

My desktop sucks. :D Like I said, I dont think of this as a portable computer, I think of it as a large screen PMP, that just happens to have internet surfing ability.

That still doesn't answer why you'd pick this over a netbook? A netbook is cheaper and has far more functionality.

[jdbnsn]

iCould care less about these little status symbols. iPad....sounds a bit menstrual....

[OvRiDe]

That still doesn't answer why you'd pick this over a netbook? A netbook is cheaper and has far more functionality.

Same reason you buy a netbook instead of a desktop computer. For the same money or less you buy a netbook for.. you can by a much more capable desktop pc.

[Xpirate]

I read about three articles/blogs where the opinions were that tablet PCs would replace netbooks. I tend to agree with them. Eventually tablets will be as powerful and energy efficient as netbooks. Then the only advantage a netbook would have is the attached keyboard. You could get a separate keyboard for your tablet and get the best of both worlds.

[crenn]

I have an original tablet PC, it never took off. But I think something will come along that is more smart and efficient. Probably a NVidia Tegra 2 combined with an AMOLED screen. More expensive, but also thinner and more powerful.

[Zephik]

Same reason you buy a netbook instead of a desktop computer. For the same money or less you buy a netbook for.. you can by a much more capable desktop pc.

But, you don't buy a netbook instead of a desktop computer? And even if you did, the comparison between a desktop and a netbook is completely different than the comparison between this device and a netbook.

You can't compare stationary equipment with portable, two totally different markets.

I'm starting to think that people only want this thing because it's both apple and a tablet, two things that are rather "cool" right now. Aside from people that could truly and actually benefit from a tablet, such as personal assistants and the likes.

Anyways, my main point is that a netbook could and does run complete circles around this thing, doesn't need a stand or to be held and it costs quite a good deal less. I guess some people just really want a tablet, why I don't know. It's not like, aside from a few scenarios, that a tablet is more useful or is easier to use than a netbook, or rather, that clamshell form factor.

[d_stilgar]

Let's see here. It's a giant iPod/iPhone minus the portability, or it's a netbook/notebook replacement minus the functionality. The best place to put this is in the dedicated eBook reader slot, but they aren't marketing it that way. I think apple really missed the mark with this one.

I think Lenovo is a lot closer to what the market is ready for with the U1. A tablet that doesn't have to be a tablet. It's a not-quite-as-good iPad that gets to be a full on laptop when you aren't reading a book bedside.

I'm with jdbnsn that is sounds too much like iMaxiPad.

Also, I have a nice desktop, so whatever mobile product I buy I want to supplement my desktop experience. This isn't that product. It's not a computer and can't be used like one. The Alienware M11x is looking pretty good right now. There are some other gaming capable netbooks coming out soon that will have my attention a lot more than this thing will.

I'm not against apple, or their products. This just isn't the innovative device they are touting it to be.

Has anyone watched the 5 min video on the apple page? It mostly sounds like BS. "Typing on it is a dream." Bullcrap. I can see it as "not as bad as you might imagine," but calling it a dream seems to be coming from a bunch of people standing around the koolaid pitcher.

[Twigsoffury]

I dont get it.

Same price as the 32GB/64GB model with the extras.

I can get a Full sized Flip top Tablet PC with a 2.0Ghz+ CPU 2048-4196GB ram and a 320-750GB drive with all the ports and expantion slots i could ever need?

http://i48.tinypic.com/2rp7kld.jpg

But i guess its not paper weight thin, with a picture of a fruit on the back inflated to 300% its original manufacturering cost, so its automatically a piece of crap.

[x88x]

I gotta say, looking at the description on it on engadget (http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/27/apple-ipad-first-hands-on/), I'm quite underwhelmed. Seriously; they spent how long developing this, and that's the best they can come up with? A giant iPod a better CPU? The thing that really kills this thing for me though is the lack of multitasking and (to a lesser extent) flash. With the new (presumably more powerful) CPU, there's really no excuse anymore, and I feel like the lack of these two will be a lot more of a hindrance to this iPad then it is to the iPod/iPhone.

I guess in summation:
- Interesting new CPU, though with no track record to gauge performance against.
- Crippled OS
- Low resolution screen
- Form factor I personally have no use for

therefore, I award a resounding 'meh'

[luciusad2004]

Lack of multitasking kills this for me. Its like, its just not useful. When I chill out for e-time I have at least three programs running. I need to chat, browse, and music at the same time. That's e-time. This would also be horrible for typing. Yeah i could browse a blog on this no problem but I browse my blogs on my desktop and can do so much more at once.

You can't do anything productive with this either. its just not designed to be a productivity device. So maybe u could use it as an Iphone on steroids... but... then its... its to big. I wouldn't carry this around to run iphone apps... id carry and iphone that fits in my pocket.

I think this COULD be a great device, if they let it spread its wings.
Give it a full OS
Open it up to regular development so that you don't need to get apps from the app store
Let this device Replace our laptops.

As it stands, its to big to replace the iphone but not capable enough to replace a netbook/laptop. Is there really a void in between that needs to be filled? This just isn't useful.

[Drum Thumper]

iPad....sounds a bit menstrual....

iCan't agree more.

http://www.cnn.com/2010/TECH/01/27/apple.ipad.reaction/index.html?eref=igoogle_cnn

[xRyokenx]

If it did multitasking and had USB ports JUST IN CASE I wanted to hook up a keyboard/mouse, I might want it. If it had the ability to be a high quality drawing device, such as a Wacom Cintiq, I might want it. But it doesn't do any of those, so...

Oh, and I'm kinda disappointed that it has no camera. Same goes for the iPod Touch. Seems like they really want people to buy the iPhone and really expensive plan that goes with it. *shrugs and goes back to drawing comics*

[Drum Thumper]

An interesting read:

http://www.fsf.org/news/ibad_launch

I would have put this in the stumble thread (that's how I came across it) but it belongs here.

[OvRiDe]

But, you don't buy a netbook instead of a desktop computer? And even if you did, the comparison between a desktop and a netbook is completely different than the comparison between this device and a netbook.

I think you just got my point. ;)

You don't buy an iPod to replace a pc either. If indeed this is just a big iPod it wasn't meant to be a netbook replacement, but for those that would like this specific functionality and are willing to spend the cash, its probably worth it more to them then a netbook. I can see where this form factor can be advantageous over a netbook in many ways. None of which equate to any type of productivity.

[x88x]

If it had the ability to be a high quality drawing device, such as a Wacom Cintiq, I might want it. But it doesn't do any of those, so...

Nope; capacitive touch screen == never gonna be able to use it as a drawing tablet. At least, I assume that it's capacitive since Apple and ~90% of the rest of the industry seem to be in love with capacitive tech...

[xRyokenx]

I'll probably just have to save up for a Wacom Cintiq eventually... or whatever's out when I can actually afford one, lol. I would still love to see some sort of portable drawing tablet someday, that way I'm not hauling around a bag full of art supplies (although the art supplies would be significantly cheaper to replace if stolen).

[OvRiDe]

Here is a run down and hands on video for those interested...

http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/27/apple-ipad-first-hands-on/

Definitely not a netbook killer.. maybe its an iPod touch for the vision impaired.

# It's running iPhone OS 3.2.
# No Flash confirmed. So Hulu is out for you, folks!

[Zephik]

From Reddit;

"Just yesterday I was looking at my iPhone thinking "Hmmm, I wish this thing didn't fit in my pocket and couldn't make phone calls." Then I looked over to my netbook and couldn't help but feel it would benefit from losing the keyboard and being made of 50% glass.

Finally apple gives me what I wish."


Definitely not a netbook killer.. maybe its an iPod touch for the vision impaired.

Maybe it's for computer illiterate giants? lol

[LiTHiUM0XiD3]

regardless of specs... yay for hipster techno junk lol

[Luke122]

That still doesn't answer why you'd pick this over a netbook? A netbook is cheaper and has far more functionality.

Because I have yet to see a thin, light, 10" touchscreen netbook with 10 hours of battery life, decent gaming ability, bluetooth, nWifi, for $499.


(The rest of this response is not directed specifically to Zephik)

I'm hardly an Apple fanboy (in respose to comments about how we are all clamoring to buy this despite it's "inflated price", "just because it has a fruit on it"), in fact quite the opposite. My Mac mini (which I got in trade for an older PC) pisses me off quite substantially, quite regularly. Anyone who tries to tell me that Macs are better than PCs for art or music gets a nice earful of reality check from me.

I dont need multitasking on a PMP, I dont need a keyboard or mouse (though a dock with integrated keyboard is announced already, and shown at launch), this is simply an iPod that is nicer to watch videos on. The end.

Is it worth $499? To me, and to many others, yes. If it's not to you, then that's fine.. but seriously, stop trying to convince us it's not good, or that it's only desirable because it's an Apple product, or that we dont need it and we need a netbook instead.

I had a netbook (EeePC), and did not like it. I found I was using it strictly as a PMP, since it was underpowered for work purposes, but with the small screen, I figured I might as well just get a dedicated PMP, since I was carrying the netbook and the laptop with me when I travelled anyways.

[Collinstheclown]

I love the Engadget hands-on. It's all glitchy, and the guy demostrating it has no idea how to use it. Fantastic.

I don't see this living past the second or third gen. unless they include alot of key items. I mean seriously, the Nano does video.

[x88x]

So, after looking through some more of the hype, I finally realized what was really bugging me about it....it's ugly. I know, I know, heresy, but really; I've been a big fan of Apple's design for a long time now (technical and DRM choices, not so much..but design? definitely.), and this really feels like they took a lot of the good things they've worked out recently and thrown them away. The biggest killer in its looks for me, I think, is that massive bezel. I mean, ok, I can see the bottom row for the button (maybe), but not the other 3 sides. It feels a bit like the iPod 1G; good basic shape and size, but rough and unfinished.

So, Apple; let the thing out of the kiddie pool, put a real OS on it, rework the design a bit, put a damn usb port on it, and you might get my attention. Without any of those, all I see if a giant iPhone with powerful hardware going to waste.

[jdbnsn]

heehee...I love a good "rumble" between PC and Mac enthusiasm. It's like the Colosseum for me.

[Airbozo]

heehee...I love a good "rumble" between PC and Mac enthusiasm. It's like the Colosseum for me.

You would have loved the "conversation" between my MAC fanatic friend and I just before Apple switched to Intel procs. I had been reading up on Apple's decision to switch, months before they actually did and kind of baited him.

Before:
"I would never buy another Apple product if they started using Intel chips."

After:
"Apple made a wise decision changing chips due to the power requirements and processing power" (or something like that. It was almost word for word what Jobs said about their decision to switch)

I still chide him about it.

[x88x]

Sorry, I guess I should have specified; by a 'real OS', I just meant something that wasn't designed for a phone. I have no doubt that full OSX would run just fine on the A4 chip.

[x88x]

I doubt it! They'd have to spend money getting FreeB... I mean Mac OSX running on the arm architechture.

Meh, it'd be almost as simple as just recompiling everything from source; no different than when they went from PPC to x86. They'd just have to go back to pushing out two different binaries of everything again.

Also, http://www.freebsd.org/platforms/arm.html

[Technochicken]

What they really should have done is something like this.

That's much nicer, but the price is $1649, unless you supply a Macbook for them to convert. For $1150 more, I think they are going to miss the market segment they are after. :)

I agree that it IS a much nicer product though! Good find!

[x88x]

The only thing I don't like about the Modbooks is that they have no native portrait mode (since OSX has no portrait mode..), so as tablets they're rather awkward. Otherwise great products though.

[Luke122]

No option to rotate the display? I would think that the Macbook pro with the Nvidia gpu would have a rotate option in the driver.. how hard could it be to use the internal accelerometer to detect orientation, and rotate?

On that topic (though completely off topic) Mac Saber is awesome.

[SgtM]

It looks cool, but to me it's an oversized iPod Touch. That said, I wouldn't mind reviewing one... (hint hint, Charles!)

[x88x]

The reason is that (last I checked, which admittedly was about a year ago, so it's entirely possible that they've added it since then) OSX actually has no portrait mode support. You literally cannot tell the software to rotate the display.

[Luke122]

[Zephik]

"Because I have yet to see a thin, light, 10" touchscreen netbook with 10 hours of battery life, decent gaming ability, bluetooth, nWifi, for $499."

I've seen plenty of those, except the touch screen bit of course. But you can get a netbook with similar specs, if not better, and with capabilities that surpass the iPad and then you can buy a 3rd party touch screen if that's what you really want/need. All for at or under $500.

I was thinking about this iPad last night and I think Ive finally thought of how this device could actually make sense, and it's all about marketing. They should have released it not as a tablet, but as a super glorified/capable eReader. A very fancy alternative to the Kindle. That makes FAR more sense in my head.

As a tablet, its benefits as one over anything else are meager. As a giant iPod, that defies the point of an iPod. As an advanced reading device? It definitely makes more sense. As a portable computing alternative, it's in no real or actually useful/beneficial way better or even on par with other alternatives, such as a netbook.

If they wanted a tablet, then they should have made a MacBook tablet, not a giant iPod. And also called it the Apple Tablet. iPad is so unprofessional and gimmicky feeling. What happened to the well thought out, carefully and perfectly designed apple brand that I used to love? This is so gimmicky and lacks any amount of professionalism, creativity and design. Bah, booo on you apple.

Trust me, you may think it was a case of recompiling PPC to x86, but that's not the actual truth. As for the fact freebsd having ARM, doesn't mean it can be quickly ported over.

Thats how apple rolls. They'll release a crippled version of a device, then a year or so later sell the un-crippled version for the same price.


I bet yall 50$ apple releases a newer (improved haha) version of the ipad rather soon.

with something like a camera, and the features you complain that it doesnt have.

Thats how he makes his scrilla,

Sells you weak crack at first to get you addicted, then comes back with the super crack to get you hooked.

once your hooked, you'll buy any white stuff u can get.


Should just rename the company applephedamine

[Zephik]

That is definitely Apple. As far as the iPod touch goes, I bet they're just waiting for sales to die down enough and then they'll add like a camera and wireless-n and whatever else.

[Drum Thumper]

This just in: rather than fight with Fujitsu over a trademark disagreement, Apple has renamed its new table "iByte."

But yes, Fujitsu does own the copyright for "ipad".

[Zephik]

Why can't they just call it "Apple Tablet"? That sounds so much better! Dare I say it even sounds... cool?

Maybe they'll create a MacBook version and pass this off as more of an iPod type product than anything else thus allowing them to create a real tablet without having to directly admit that they don't know how to listen to their fans.

Me and my buddy were making up names the night before and I jokingly through out ipad. I looked at it this way. The laptops are Notebooks and thus get Macbook. This thing is a Notepad but being more of a peripheral gets the 'i' prefix instead of the 'mac' prefix. Thus came the name ipad. I just though it was funny because it ipod with one letter changed. I was totally joking and we laughed about it. The next day I got a text at work saying it was the ipad and I thought he was kidding me...
