When the Adamo came out, some reviewers were complaining that the package didn't justify the price, which was true considering what you were getting. They should lower the price even more.

I go for the best valued product for my needs, and I'm not brand loyal. Here's what I learned when I was shopping for my laptop.
When ppl call someone who doesn't own any Apple products a fanboy, they're obviously haters: the opposite of a fanboy. Haters know as much as fanboys. They're as loyal (to the other side) as fanboys. Advice from them is useless.

any photographer who is using this instead of an actual printed portfolio, is trying to get clients based on trend not their work.

I've seen a trend towards electronic portfolios lately. Besides, almost all photographers have websites with their work on them, no? Sales of physical portfolios have dropped this past year. My personal preference is a (well) printed portfolio though, as it looks more professional. Unfortunately, the younger photographers who have grown up in the digital age don't really appreciate or care. I've already been asked by professional clients when we'll be getting stock of the iPad.
Having said that, sales of our professional wedding albums and studio samples that wedding photographers keep as portfolios in their studio have gone up.

the ipad just might be a cool toy
500$ isnt much for a cool toy
there's just too much work in opening a laptop, turning on the operating system or even resuming windows from standby.
What would make the ipad super good is
*sturdy shell with no spermicidal heat waves
*no awkward output/input slots
*fast boot up from standby like resuming the ipod touch
*fast charging
*essentially just a bigger, faster, better ipod
some things id like to do with the ipad that makes netbooks/laptops look like crap
*wake up and turn on my ipad. check my email.news.weather.revscene while on my bed in 2minutes
*like a clipboard of electronic notes. that i can edit quickly by electronic keyboard+touch then slip it away like a clipboard
*i just wanna be lazier if that's possible while i still get my computer fix

Mercedes doesn't market the C230 coupe as "magical and revolutionary". Any manufacturer that makes that claim is open to major criticism - which you are defending.
So the question is, why after admitting its a niche product, are you defending the criticisms we have against Apple's marketing of this?
Oh ya, you just want to argue. Please don't, you're making yourself look bad by continuing to stretch. This product isn't magical or revolutionary, and is open to criticism. If you don't like that, GTFO.

All kidding aside, $500 is cheap. I'll probably buy one of these just to play around with but I am rather disappointed by the feature set. If they just lopped off the keyboard off a MacBook Air, I would've bought one already for $1500. | If you think $500 is cheap while making $14/hr, you need a lesson in finances. You make $2300/mn, $1900 after taxes, and you'll spend 1/4 of your income on a gadget. | |

Yes, because wanking and whinging about a device you have no intention of buying anyway is SO much more mature.

what a useless piece of shit. Anyone who buys one, deserves to be openly mocked.
Whoever was talking about buying one for grandparents, well fuck, my grandparents have enough difficulties dealing with a regular keyboard sometimes. What kind of asshole would get a touchscreen for older people?

I can buy a basic laptop for around 300. I can buy a slate convertible type laptop for under $1200.
Comparing it to the HP slate coming out this is way overpriced.
