:moon: ipad... i'm not a fan markite - 28-1-2010 at 03:16 PM
Love my Mac and a number of spin off items and the ipad looks fun but I think it'll get better. A few reviews on some "cons" comments do have some
valid points a few being:
- no multitasking
- no HDMI out
- no camera
- need adaptors (even for the USB)
- it's not widescreen
and lastly I agree the name could be better.
Next generation ..... but I'd love to see/use someone else's when they get one.f0rgiv3n - 28-1-2010 at 03:18 PM

pssst markite... did you read the same article i did?! LOL!Drewculous - 28-1-2010 at 03:41 PM
just a big iphone right?rudeboysaude - 28-1-2010 at 03:41 PM
I thought it was more like the iTouch. I don't think you can make phone calls with it? Tablet PCs aren't really my cup of tea. I like what I can do
with my phone and then I need a computer. I'm pretty sure companies have done such a good job with cell phone functionality and laptops/netbooks that
tablets will never really take off like they'd hope. But, if anyone could pull it off, Apple could.Drewculous - 28-1-2010 at 03:44 PM
meh, i've never been a big fan of apple, i'm hard wired PC... i just cant run a mac comfortablymacboy - 28-1-2010 at 03:49 PM
It's not even a big iPhone...it's a big iPod Touch.
I'm underimpressed but have faith in subsequent releases. I was holding off on a netbook until this came out just in case but now it's clear - I'm
getting a netbook and installing the Mac OS onto it.Maven454 - 28-1-2010 at 03:57 PM

Been there, did that. Works nice :D.csa_deadon - 28-1-2010 at 05:47 PM
It's a $500.00 Itouch. Just bigger screen. Jobs thought that he was missing out on a major section of the market, and had this developed for the
older generation with sight problems! Bigger screen, bigger format, dgkid78 - 28-1-2010 at 05:58 PM
Eh wasn't too impressed with my ipod touch. Except for watching movies on a plane and battery never lasted. Had it for 2 years and recently went back
to the new nano with the camera. Fits so much better in pocket while kiting. The video quality is insane. Too bad it doesn't take photos too . Never
was a fan of the iphone. I just like a good old fashion qwerty board. I am pretty impressed with my G1 android phone for the past year. Android fan

Well, here's one way to make the i-pad into a shirtpocket device! :smug:
I have "the Poor Mans i-Whatever:" the Nokia Internet Tablet. They've had Bluetooth, Wifi, GPS, excellent video quality, and hand held video
conferencing ability for years.FloRider - 28-1-2010 at 10:18 PM
Not a fan yet.WIllardTheGrey - 29-1-2010 at 12:13 AM
They picked the wrong name to thrill me when I think iPad I think Fujitsu iPad a buggy, useless hockey puck/clay pigeon :flaming::flaming:, that if I posted my true opinion of I would be banned. also Fujitsu thinks that they own the name. Fujitsu: 'iPad? That's ours':singing: let the fireworks begin:evil:arkay - 29-1-2010 at 12:36 AM
My biggest question about the iPad is wether I should get a 138 or go for a 150. I'm thinking I can ride the 150 better in the waves.
Here's an interssting question. Would you rather have an iphone, an iphone, a netbook, or a laptop?WIllardTheGrey - 29-1-2010 at 12:38 AM

Kind of weighting the odds there aren'tcha lives2fly - 29-1-2010 at 04:37 AM
We dont understand Mac's in the UK - unless you work in graphic design...
but everyone has ipods.
I love my laptop and my Nokia airin - 29-1-2010 at 09:32 AM
netbook and nokia for me! :wee:
unlocked ipod...yay, for 'sharepod':roll:
apple = too expensive, too many technical problems, can't run a lot of the required softwear, not enough peeps know how to
use/troubleshoot....etc...:megan:ragden - 29-1-2010 at 10:04 AM
I have an iphone and love it. I also have a mac powerbook that is great. Though, I do understand some of the software issues. I have had a couple
occasions where games I wanted didnt work, other things just acting.. funny.
The ipad looks very cool, but I'm not sure where it would fit in with everything else. I already have an iphone, which wouldnt be replaced by the
ipad. I have the laptop which I love... do I really need something inbetween the two? Not really...macboy - 29-1-2010 at 10:10 AM
I have the iPhone and I explain it like this: It's a great device...and it has a phone on it. I miss the days of being able to dial in the dark (when
the wife leaves me tied up and I need help. <-----I figured I'd beat some of you to the chase there ; )
Don't get me wrong, I DO love it for what it is and since installing a bluetooth handsfree kit in the car it's the cat's ass. Prior to that
though......no go on dialling in the car unless you were stopped. (We'er one of the few places in Canada that you're still allowed to use a cell phone
while driving - not that I condone it....I support phone free driving.)
Arkay - I was hoping the iPad would have been enough to be "the netbook" of my dreams but I'd far rather spend way less to get a netbook with WAY more
storage space and peripheral accessories and a full operating system....and throw the extra saving to the kite fund
Plus it kinda scares me that Apple is back in the "making their own chips" business. Some apple chips are good....but usually only the edible ones ; )stetson05 - 29-1-2010 at 12:29 PM
Have you heard the ad for the Itampon. Its for women that think it will fit them better. Heard it on Bob and Tom. supposed to have easy
applications. and fit anyplace :Dlad - 30-1-2010 at 05:53 PM
i'm not a fan 
:flaming:
. also Fujitsu thinks that they own the name. Fujitsu: 'iPad? That's ours'
