The good thing about the iPad is that it'll be super easy to spot the idiot apple fanboys.

The MBA was a product for a very niche market IMO. The iPad is no different. Most consumers like us won't find a need for it.

It may seem perfect at first, but when you think about it, it would be terrible for porn. Can you imaine how awkward it would be?

You can't hold up the iPad, manipulate the time slider so it replays the money shot over and over again, AND stroke off at the same time.

FAIL. Or at least requires a masturbation accessory stand or something.

It's true. Lots of business execs have it too. Mind you, I still think it's a lousy deal, as the unibody MacBook Pros aren't that thick either!

wtf?? no flash?? why would they leave out flash if it were meant to be a surfing machine?

I am actually surprised by the $500 price point tho, that seems quite reasonable compare to the rest of the apple's product like the iphone ($700+) and the macbook($1200+)

It would be sweet if I could turn it into a universal remote control

i think this fits a lot of retail and business use.... it would be an awesome tool for some interactive presentation to the client

but I just cant figure out why I would buy one for personal use.

yea but you can already do that with your laptop and your phone, or you could setup a pc in your washroom with keyboard mouse bigger screen for around the same price.


sounds like it would only be useful for business use BUT it will require completely reprogramming for it to be apply to individual situation, i doubt app store would come out with actually commercial business app. so much money and work need to make it fit into systems business have already mind as well get the hp slate and it already comes with an OS that is compatible with the company existing softwares.

HP slate would actually be a better platform for business app programming.... but I don't think they will even sell it for $499 and it wont be out until the end of the year


but i dont think the ipad/iphone OS even support printing... so that would be a big minus
