Based on iPhone 3.2 OS

i dont think this thing needs a camera

would you really hold up a panel that big to take a picture?

cameraphones make sense cuz they're always in your pocket but this... unless it was facing-forward, for video... who needs it

Input and Output
Dock connector
3.5-mm stereo headphone jack
Built-in speakers
Microphone
SIM card tray (Wi-Fi + 3G model only)

does that last one mean I can use my existing data plan for 3G?

camera really only makes sense if/when they support voip

camera would presumably be useful for ichat/skype tho slockmeister?

Haven't read the whole thread but I guess this is Apple's Segway moment. Supposedly the great leap forward, but not gonna live up to the hype.

just imagine remote.app *mmmmmmmm*

what a disaster for apple

even when you compare the functionality to the ipod touch, the price of the ipad actually doesn't seem that great either..

will someone plz answer the pr0n question

xp it will come down

There will be pad

The next iteration will be called the iPad Max. Or more appropriately, the Max iPad.

will someone plz answer the pr0n question

jesus, I'm slipping

Jeez, dudes, it's like you've never seen an Apple launch before. Remember?

1. Launch. Grumble grumble. "It doesn't have w, x, y, z." "It's too expensive"
2. Early adopters buy, most people play with and kind of want but, y'know, see 1.
3. A year goes buy, 2nd gen comes out. It has w, x, and y. Early adopters have been using it so it doesn't feel all weird to have one.
4. Most of us buy the 2ng gen. A few will grumble endlessly about the lack of z, the rest just use the thing.
5. Apple makes a fuckton of money.

"it doesn't have a keyboard, how will I type w w w dot ipadporngrid dot com?"

could imagine getting this for my parents as a kind of old people's iphone/itouch

damn that kindle is an ugly piece of kit

if apple wasn't so damn secretive they'd have done better with this one

workhen xp

(considering there is nothing truly innovative about it)

looks like the funnest e-reader ever made

wd probly make a nice comic book reader

so is stet the only one here who's getting one of these at 1.0 then? elvis?

Can't work it into my budget right now. I'm looking at replacing my laptop in the next couple of months (coming up on four years old) and since coding is where the $$$$ comes from then that gets priority.

yes, i agree. if positioned as an e-reader with iphone-esque bells and whistles, it looks more attractive.

innovation ain't a feature list. let's try the thing before we say anything we're gonna regret, k?

isn't this still cheaper than a kaosilator or monome whatever those electro DJ things are?

i swear this just happened: i was watching shep's show on fox news and they brought on some fox business channel schlub to talk about the ipad so i flipped up one channel to msnbc and a tampax commercial was playing

maybe being home in the afternoons warps your perception of excitement

isn't this still cheaper than a kaosilator or monome whatever those electro DJ things are?

Kaoss Pad is $400 (roughly?) Would rather have iPad controller.

Yeah, the prospect of interesting apps really changes my perception of what these things should cost. If it's another thing to browse the web on, y'know, fuk u I won't buy what you tell me. If it's a Kaoss pad, robust field photo editor, etc that also just happens to play music and surfs the web anywhere, then fuck yeah that's cheap as hell.

there are some amazing audio/synth apps on the iphone, there's a great potential for the ipad in this area..

to me this just looks like a cool fun thing to keep around the house or throw in my bag - not a replacement for my computer but a sort of sci-fi-style all-purpose entertainment/media/fuckin' around device. and i think there will be some really cool apps for it. not that different than a big ipod touch, no, but ipod touches and iphones have so much potential that is severely limited only by their screen space.

All said I'd still like to get this but I will be mos def waiting for 2nd gen.

To me the tradeoff on all this is pretty straightforward -- one reason why I like the iPhone a LOT is precisely because it is a phone, scaled as such -- something you just put in your pocket. In contrast I have never really felt any desire to haul something like a laptop around wherever I go.

^^^agree with all of that, slocki.

xxpost
