New Apple Lust Objects for 2010 and onward

everything is expensive to me so tell me is that pricey or decent?

barf

top end is $829

$629 for wifi+3g @ 16gb

thats well cheap. that's cheaper than the iPhone launched at

barrrrrrf

hmm well i wouldn't need a laptop with 3G so i guess i don't need an ipad with 3G?

id use this mostly for traveling to places with wifi

srsly worth it for me if i can carry books around all the time

(i dont own a laptop)

I don't want to think about how much those will cost relative to a 500.00 MSRP :\

lol @ engadget: 11:22AM Jonny Ive talking about magical devices. "That's exactly what the iPad is." Magical? Really? Doesn't seem that magical to us!

yeah don't care about 3g

keyboard dock is dumb. would rather have a keyboard with a cable/wireless so i can put it where i want

Jon Ive says “there’s no wrong or right way to hold it.” “I don’t have to change myself to fit the product, it fits me.”

"So I can be, say, retarded, or have a balance disorder and STILL want this product!"

it just works, dude

i buy so many things that don't work, and then what

it's doable

There is an Etch a Sketch app, yes?

is there going to be any way to read pix off a camera on this? Means not taking a laptop while travelling, that.

also wtf multitasking already

have they confirmed a camera on this yet?

no multitasking, no camera

anyway this is all well and good but the important thing is that steve jobs just saved journalism forever

ouch.... then this is pretty limiting...

no toaster ovem

OTOH, saving newspapers? eh, forget it...

for education users like me, this is not what we wanted from a 'netbook' killer..

a collective groan across the nerdosphere

Ha ha. I had no idea about this iPad thing at all and apparently finally decided to open this thread right as the announcement was happening.

no one needs to have all of their fiction books around all the time, but man REFERENCES. SO MANY REFERENCES

Word to this. Got a Reader for Christmas and was pretty unsure of what to do with it (all of the fiction stuff I've found/bought thus far was laid out like some shit, but ultimately decided that e-readers make fantastic portable reference libraries.

iPad is the worst brand name since Aciphex.

if this had the full OSX instead of the iPhone OS, at 499 this would be awesome...

betting it will take a while for conservative med ref publishing houses to get on the ball, but that'll be when i can afford one anyway

really? Iphone OS means no adobe acrobat = no access to most educational/interactive websites...

Jobs: iPad is our most advanced technology in magical and revolutionary device at an unbelievable price.

Jobs' Shop of Mystical Wonders.

The only thing that's really wow about this is the price, but that's kinda enough.

what the hell are you talking about

xp

what "websites" require acrobat?

What did you want? Looks pretty good to me. Maybe ability to handwrite on it would be good - wouldn't shock me if a third party could do that, though.

really? Iphone OS means no adobe acrobat

There are PDF readers on the iPhone, they just aren't named Acrobat
