Apple Tablet Media Event Today: 'Come See Our Latest Creation'

[davefan66]

Didn't Jobs say this was the most important introduction in
his life?

Well, he's done it before. Given us something we didn't know
we needed and later found out we absolutely needed.

iBooks?

Can you say "Classics"??????

[**]

Or Delicious Library....

 

[Eminemdrdre00]

Even with "iBook" its still just a 9.7" iPod Touch. There are already e-book reader apps.

 

[ethical]

This looks pretty neat.

 

[chris200x9]

armh is going up i'm happy 🙂

 

[REM314]

This thread is full of disappointed fanboys who were expecting heaven in a touchscreen box.

Honestly this thing looks pretty cool.

 

[Saturnine]

FYI there is a Kindle iPhone app my friend.

Yeah I've got that and use it a lot already. 🙂

 

[mdriftmeyer]

What kind of Application are them doctors going to use? Something they find on the App-store?

This is not a business-device!

Hospitals will build-out their own applications.

iBooks bookshelf looks just like delicious library.

 

[HLdan]

One thing I'm sure of, I ain't getting one

LOL, yeah, you say that now, just like most of the complaining MR members. The sales will go through the roof on this. The iPad will be the best handheld computer ever sold.

 

[cfitz7111]

99% of this I can do on my iPhone, AND I am connected all the time.

 

[Gix1k]

This thing is stupid. An oversized iPod...coming in a 4 times the cost. Dumb. Enough already. On to the iPhone....P L E A S E!!!!

 

[shiftyroach]

iBooks bookshelf looks almost exactly like the one in the Classics app in the app store lol....

actually it looks exactly like delicious library

 

[cmaier]

NO 3G, NO Camera

But it has a slick page turning animation!

Seriously. Fail.

 

[rhett7660]

iWork is next..

 

[rorschach]

 

[SirHaakon]

Nothing to do with it. Shares are ALWAYS down at Apple events.

He's right. The fact that this thing completely blows has nothing to do with the stock price.

iBooks bookshelf looks just like delicious library.

Beautiful isn't it?

I've got two novels in the middle of writing. I'm definitely going to make sure it just works for this platform.

 

[Robert M.]

iWorks!! Now this is exciting!!! 😀

 

[smoked]

iWorks now!

 

[MBP09]

Still waiting for iTouch with camera, not the wannabe like the iPad.

[ajohnson253]

I am disappointed with this. 🙁 oh well.

 

[kdarling]

Hmm, my semester starts next week and my bookshelf is full. I'd love to get ebook versions of all my needed books. 🙂

Question: can we use a virtual yellow highlighter in these readers? That's what would make them useful as reference / textbook replacements (for me, anyway).

 

[snugharbor]

iPad.

Yuck.

And what did you post when the iPhone came out?
