(where you don't get what you paid for).

Re Apple products--most of those who think they don't get what they pay for, don't really get the reason for the product's existence in the first place.

'The iPad is like holding the future. But only because I graduated from iPhone school'

When the iPhone first launched in 2007 I was sure I wasn't going to buy one. Then I played with one. 15 minutes later I was $600 poorer. ... After the Apple event today, I got a chance to play with the new iPad for quite a bit of time. My takeaway? The thing is beautiful and fast. Really fast. If you'll excuse my hyperbole, it felt like I was holding the future. But is it a must-have? That's a complicated question. The quick and dirty answer is: for many people, right now, no. ...

When it launches, the iPad's initial target audience is iPhone and iPod touch users. Why? Because they are already very comfortable with the way you need to interact with this device. The moment I picked up the iPad today I knew exactly what to do with it. ... Meanwhile, I watched some other people who said they didn't use an iPhone regularly interact with the iPad for the first time and it was not nearly as seamless.

Ask yourself this: Did you ever consider buying a Kindle? Or ever envisioned yourself as a Kindle user? Or did you ever say to yourself "I like what the Kindle can do, but it still looks "prototypish" for its cost...



If not, then this is exactly the reason why you feel that the iPad is "useless".

Now, the person who was facing the decision whether to buy a Kindle or not, is now faced with a new decision...


So if you were that person, which one would you buy?

'The iPad is like holding the future. But only because I graduated from iPhone school'

i had been an iphone 3G user for 11 months, and it reached that long just because i had no budget to change it. just last week i got my big break so i traded my iphone for a motorola milestone. im glad as hell i did. 11 months in Iphone school, but i still don't see the future in that oversized ipod touch.

IF the USB accesory to attach Cameras will allow you to attach flash drives AND if the Hardware is capable of editing High resolution Photos without choking up, then this mite have a chance for me.

I guess we can all agree that this was never meant to replace your iPhone/smart phone/mobile phone. Nor it's replacing your current laptop for that matter. As Steve Jobs said, it's an in-between product. It's an internet/multimedia/e-book reader device in a form of a tablet.

Do we need this? Well maybe not. But then again, since when did Apple made products because people needed it? They've always been about creating stuff that make us want it.

Now as a tablet device, sure they could have included this, added that, and we were a bit disappointed that it didn't. But so was the iPhone right? I remember when they announced that thing, I was very critical bout how it was lacking on features. Looking back at it now though, yeah sure it wasn't the Swiss Army knife of mobile phones. It wasn't everything, but it was something. And look where the iPhone is right now.

The key to the iPad's success won't be because it's super absorbent, or because it can last a day without leakage. Like the iPhone, the key to it's success will rely on both services and applications. Something that Apple does have an advantage compared to other companies that have tried making tablets before. They have iTunes, the App Store, and soon the iBooks. And we just don't know yet how many more content providers they will have on-board in the future. Imagine what developers can do for this product as well.

Look all I'm saying is, I think it's far too early to call this thing an iFail or an iDud. Time will tell that. For now though, just think of the possibilities.
