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

[ethical]

I'm going for $549 for a 16Gb and $649 for a 32Gb

 

[XxEjGxX]

the tablet is here!!!!

 

[trekkie604]

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

mmm Outlook 2003...

 

[antic]

resolution looks to be 1024 x 768

 

[rhett7660]

Looks like Apple is still friends with google..... Google Maps for places..

Gotta love (from gizmodo's feed):

Jobs clicked a story and there is a missing plugin error (is this flash? Does this mean that the iPad won’t have flash?)

Being a giant iPhone, I hope this thing doesn't have iPhone limitations, like the inability to multitask (w/o jailbreaking, of course).

And as for that keyboard... wonder how it's going to be typing on a nearly-full-sized virtual keyboard?

 

[dba7dba]

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

I guess you missed the picture of the full virtual keyboard on the screen of the tablet?

GO here to see pics.

Store is still up! And it isn't listed

That's because its FAKE. Do you really think Steve Jobs would produce something this silly? Can't you see that this has all been an elaborate prank by the rumor sites!?

 

[iLog.Genius]

I guess it's exciting because Apple has actually announced it but in terms of functionality, it's iPhone OS but on a bigger device with adjustments here and there, hardly anything new.

I'm not sure how sales are going to be for this product especially with the rumoured $1000 price tag which is probably true.

 

[ThisIsNotMe]

So its a giant iPhone.........

 

[phobic99]

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

So juvenile... yet I laughed.

Anyway I expect to see a lot of "Just like the iPhone..." type comments whenever the iPad (*snicker*) is mentioned.

 

[-=XX=-Nephilim]

Very much pass for me :s

Lets see what else comes up - but its all kinda hmmm ermmm so far...

 

[iPie]

My call is:
$1,200 without a plan
$499 with a plan

 

[azsprty]

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.

I said this weeks ago. For us that have the phone or touch or even macbook..there is no point

 

[*LTD*]

Finally!

And so the tablet revolution begins . . .

 

[trustbyte]

watch out for the price guys...watch out!

 

[Boots-]

Am I the only one waiting for the news on what the 4.0 OS is going to be like on the iPod/iPhone

 

[dwl017]

Still no mention of price, carriers, or camera.

Free would be to much for this gadget which is all it really is.

 

[BrianKonarsMac]

Folks, I don't know how many times it has to be said, but the rumors of an Apple Tablet device are FAKE. Steve Jobs himself has said that Apple is NOT interested in making a tablet device.

Repeat: NO tablet. So what WILL be announced today?

- New content deals for TV subscriptions on iTunes and Apple TV
- New iPhone OS 3.2/4.0
- New iWork and iLife 2010

I just can't believe it is called the iPad ... makes me think of HP's iPaq more than an iPod.

 

[Robert M.]

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

Gonna call it now: Priced at $699.

I hope you are right!

 

[lilo777]

What's so coopl about it?

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

Don't they all look the same?

 

[pooryou]

So is this thing going to be locked down like an iPhone?

That's not so bad on a phone but on a touchscreen laptop...? No thanks.

 

[motoracer1486]

I don't get it...it's a bigger iTouch...I'd rather keep my pocketable iTouch thank you.

 

[Benicio10]

What are people from Boston supposed to call this thing? They already pronounce iPod as iPad?!?!

 

[ChazUK]

Love the Places integration. Very good!
