Oh great. First we make the ipod and derivative crap smaller, now we make them bigger again... Complete circle. Soon we'll be making them smaller again and calling them increasingly idiotic names. inb4 "iPood".
Waiting for someone to create the iDontgiveacrap.

What will poor Arnold Schwarzeneggar do? He'll ask his assistant to "get to da stoa, and buy me an eye pahd." Said assistant will likely be fired, after several hours of confusion at the Apple store. This will probably happen several times before he figures it out.

What an awful name and I'm surprised that the marketting team couldn't come with something that doesn't sound like a feminine hygiene product.
Also this product has less capabilities than a netbook and yet doesn't have the suberb portability of an iPod Touch/iPhone. If the iBook is supposed to be the "killer app", then good luck competing with the e-ink technology of Amazon and B&N which emulates the look of a printed book. This iPad will probably just the standard Apple backlight screen.
Sadly there will always be the Apple sheep who will buy anything Apple makes regardless of the quality and functionality versus competing products.

Gotta say when I first heard that Apple actually made a tablet I almost had a nerdgasim, but I'll wait until it becomes better then an actual laptop. I'll keep my Mac book for now.
yeah but even if it was found in the feminine hygiene isle in walmart i would not even go near itJon Etheridge said:
and they really need to get people to come up with better names that don't refer to either genitalia or any weird and screwed up like this one
I like my iPhone, and I can understand why it's so limited, but taking the same limitations and making it into a bigger thing doesn't make it better.
There's one thing that will stop any corporation from trying to replace their laptops/netbooks with this: the iPad cannot multitask applications (you can't have more than 1 open at a time, for example: you can't listen to your music while writing a paper or surfing the net).

Still not good enough for me. $12.99 in the US means like $15.99 in Canada and for that price I'd rather have a legitimate physical product instead of a "rental" from Apple.
That's exactly what I thought Apple were releasing when I saw the thread title.bouncymike999 said:this is alot funnier to me because there was a madtv skit making fun if them called the ipad it was a music playing tampon
No Flash. No Multitasking. No Phone calls. No GPS. No HDMI out. No USB port.
Sounds more like iFail to me.
