[Robert M.]

The Mockup's got it spot on!! haha wow...

 

[ethical]

well there it is... a jumbo iphone...

thats what i was thinking. bit of a let-down...but we'll see where it goes.

 

[SFStateStudent]

That's too close to "The Stay-Free Mini iPad"

 

[instaxgirl]

That can't be right . . .

Tiny little icons?

 

[rgarjr]

looks like a fat ipod touch.

 

[bushido]

how boring its basically the iphone just bigger and the UI isnt even different looking so far

 

[billchase2]

Hmm... interesting... keep it coming, Steve.

 

[rorschach]

Please let some of this come to the iPhone!

 

[thespazz]

It's so comically huge! ahaha! I love it.

 

[pooryou]

That...looks....horrible

 

[RyanR.]

here come the rants!!!

 

[CWallace]

So it is indeed an "iPhone Plus".

Might still work for me, depending on the features Steve demos.

 

[rjohnstone]

It's a fat iPhone.

 

[peterdevries]

maybe too early to call, but it looks like they could use the screen real estate a bit more efficiently and show a few more icons in that width...

 

[benlee]

For all the smart people at Apple, they come up with iPad. Honestly?

 

[irun5k]

oh god. it is a HUGE iphone. please, lets hope this gets better over the next few minutes.

 

[cwwilson]

Looks like a HUGE iPod touch.

I liked the name "iTab" more.

 

[wPod]

iPad??? really???? that has to be the worst device name ever!!!

Does it come in maxi size?

 

[instaxgirl]

Basically a giant version of the iPhone's keyboard too?

 

[trekkie604]

it better not be $1000 for a jumbo iphone

 

[zacman]

Ok, just a big iPhone. Let's wait what it'll cost.

But no speech recognition? No writing recognition?

 

[homerdog]

To all the moaners, what the hell were you expecting!

 

[ChazUK]

I wonder what it's like typing on that?

 

[RHatton]

Not diggin it at all. Looks like an overgrown jail broken iphone.

 

[ethical]

there's no denying it!! it's an obese iPhone!
