The Official Apple iPad Thread

We're just a few hours away from Apple finally announcing their iSlate/iTablet. . . . who's in the market for one? Who's willing and ready to drop about $1000 for one of these babies.

I must say, I'm pretty stoked about this product if it's true. I'm very interested in purchasing one and if I do, it'll be my very first MAC product! haha. I've always stayed away from Apple products but for some reason, they may get my money for this one.

It's literally a jumbo iPod Touch. The price is a bit much, but I wouldn't consider getting one for a few years so they can 'perfect' it.

ya it's pretty much an huge iPhone cause it should have WiFi plus a cellular radio as well to work when there's no WiFi available. Seems a bit pricey considering you can get a MacBook for $1000.

Probably won't be getting one.

I already have a laptop, an Eee and ipod touch.
Don't see why I'd need one, and I doubt it can do anything I can't already do.

But we'll see if there are any surprises once the official announcement is made.

Wow a giant iphone, just what the world needed!

Tablets failed at least twice already. And with this one, even the apple retards don't seem to be buzzing about it too much.

But then again, they are retards, so they will probably buy them in droves after inseminating their own pants watching Steve Jobs announce it tomorrow.

A refreshed MacBook Pro with Blu-Ray? That's more interesting to me.

18 months from now, they will announce the iPad 2G with these AMAZING features:

16:9 screen
USB
3G connectivity
Headphone ports
Video and Photo camera

And the Apple Idiots will gobble it up like a bukkake fest.

Everyone else who ever wanted a tabled will have already bought an Eee Pad.

Yeah I think i'd rather buy an acual laptop for the same price that won't cripple my web experience because it actually has Flash.

If you have an iphone or ipod touch why the hell would you buy this thing...

"yeah, its the same shit, but it's bigger!!"

Sad thing is that that these features should have come standard with what was announced today. Yet all the Apple morons will praise Steve Jobs as a god when its announced later on.
