iPad.. looks TERRIBLE

I was referring to the software & app store, more than the physical form factor of the device. Thanks for your helpful insight however.

And does that still surprise you? Remember yesterday's report on the McGraw Hill guy? It runs an enhanced iPhone OS. So I already expected something like this.

Again, just put the pieces together and you have gotten a clear idea what it would be like. In m case, I just never thought the black bezel would be a so thick.


And by the looks of it, the iPad does iWork, which means great!
 
The iPad is a big disappointment for me:

No 3G Sim support
No Front and back facing Camera
Looks like a big iPod Touch, I was hoping for a new look
 
Terribly disappointed. If it was a little smaller maybe (6-7" screen), with a smaller bezel, with 3G support, it'll have more added value... but as of it is right now, it adds no value to users that have a 13" Macbook or a netbook even!

If it's priced around 800-900, it'll make less sense even.
 
if it is priced at $600 (probably for the 32GB i would guess..then $700 for 64GB), it will be sold out at all Apple Stores. Especially if they are going to be serious about gaming on this thing.. also the battery life on this thing is pretty impressive. I may end up buying this thing this summer instead of an iPhone...
 
And Has 3g

** edit** beat me. I knew it had to have 3G. still with at&t. eff...
wonder if that data plan is separate than the iPhone plan???

contract free..interesting....no subsidized price i am guessing..?

How can you even compare the iphones functionality and role to the iPad? the iPad isn't a phone.
 
will someone post a picture of the lock screen please? i can't find it on any of the live blogs!
 
Data pricing, given you can cancel at any point is pretty decent imo. I figured the carrier would force you to sign a contract.
 
any one want to know what Steve jobs is doing the next few days take a look at his calendar hey maybe pop in for the status meeting on the 2nd of Feb :eek:

Well for me, since i already bought a new phone, and also it HAS a bigger screen than the iPhone, and does more (apparently) than the iPhone. Totally different purposes...
