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

[hwhalers]

No carrier in the top left.

 

[GeekLawyer]

It's a gorgeous device. Can't wait to get my hands on one... if the price is right.

 

[nomad01]

I want one! Pity it's going to cost £stupid.00

 

[ct2k7]

I am really dismayed.... It is a bigger iPod, but the name is slightly different. Not really appealing to me right now.

 

[ethical]

It looks like an expensive (I'm assuming) digital photoframe!

 

[smoked]

Store is still up! And it isn't listed 🙁

 

[rorschach]

Mail app:

 

[phobic99]

Soo... an enlarged iPhone. Umm... yay? Hmm...

Gonna call it now: Priced at $699.

 

[zacman]

Hell, everyone knows how you can check emails on your iPhone or surf the web.

Where the hell are the unique iPad features that make it better than any other tablet? 😕

 

[JajoPGH]

In a way, I'm glad it's this stupid.

I don't have to spend money on a giant iPhone. What a disappointment!!

 

[miles01110]

At least the Mail interface looks cool. Apple Mail 4.0 hopefully.

 

[azsprty]

Odd there is no discussion of OS 4.0 or any other carriers yet

 

[dba7dba]

Store is still up! And it isn't listed 🙁

SO I guess the rumor that production issue delaying start of the sales of iPad until June was true.

 

[TH3D4RKKN1GH7]

I mean for a guy like me, hell most of us, who have an iPhone/iPod and a Macbook/MBP this is kind of eh. I mean its certainly cool but I don't see it as a must have item.

 

[peterdevries]

is it normal for the store to still be online?

good indication that it will not be available as of today.

 

[rorschach]

And the moaning has begun less than 20 minutes into the keynote!

 

[G4DP]

iPad - the interactive sanitary towel, the must have for all Apple fanboys.

 

[irun5k]

how are you supposed to type on this thing? thumbs? fail.

 

[rhett7660]

Odd there is no discussion of OS 4.0 or any other carriers yet

Give it some time.. he started this 20 minutes ago..... time. If there is going to be any announcement at all.

 

[Saturnine]

So far ... it's an iPhone with a bigger screen. I already have an iPhone. And I can put that in my pocket.

Come on Steve ... we need more.

 

[msheldrick]

this thing better be able to shoot lasers out of it 😀

 

[dwl017]

Sorry guys but this thing is junk and a waste of money if you already have a iPhone or Touch or any old laptop for that matter.

 

[LagunaSol]

I wonder what it's like typing on that?

Shapewriting better be a systemwide option (at least via a hack).

 

[NeuralControl]

Still no mention of price, carriers, or camera.

Where the hell are the unique iPad features that make it better than any other tablet? 😕

The iPhone OS is clearly the advantage over other tablet that mostly used desktop OSes.

Hardly a 'secret' feature, but that's what the unique part is.
