"TV execs looked over Apple's subscription proposals and said "thanks, but no thanks."

I think they should change the name. They don't even have the rights to it locked up, turns out Fujitsu already moved to trademark iPad years ago.
- but Fujitsu didn't deliver shitmonospaced
- There's plenty of live iPad trademarks. Search here for US http://tess2.uspto.g…raf

This really seems like something for the fan boys only. I really can't see the point of it. Either you get an iphone/ipod touch for your pocket or you get a macbook and a bag to carry it in. Where the fuck does this thing fit in?
- IF you saw the presentation today, you would see that he puts it right between the two.monospaced

iPad... the name sounds sooo bad... like borat saying ipod or something. might as well call it iHole or something

compare this to the kindle (as stated above) and you can see where the value is, plus media outlets can embrace this as a delivery mechanism - neoTabloid™.
- But what's the battery life running that size screen? I don't have to worry much with a Kindle.ETM
- yeah, battery might be fun. "15 seconds lifespan"airey
- 10 hours isn't bad. 1 month standby. They sacrificed some features to get it, and I think it's a good deal.monospaced
- 10 hours is alright... but I'll wait for the real world numbers to come in.ETM

Bottom line, they saw Kindle taking off and didn't want to give them the opportunity to lock down that market.
- obviously, that was the whole point of the device, and I don't think they hyped it enoughmonospaced

I think if we see it as just an "econo" computer to go online, check email and facebook its actually pretty good..I mean.. remember the mac air?
People paid nearly 6 times its actual value for pretty much the same functionality, so this might actually work too
$499 is not that bad..
I got a netbook recently and looks great super tiny you know, but being an apple user, the fact that came with windows, kills me.What was apple version of the netbook till today? the mac air, now.. for 500 bucks you get this little thing..
and you know that (as expected from apple) the first update will have a camera on both sides to use ichat, and usb ports, etc.
They have it figured it out, they do it with every product and we all eat it with a spoon

I apologize for not reading through every post. Has the battery life been discussed/confirmed? An iPhone can;t last the day with above average use. What this thing with that size screen going to last?
- CyBrain0
These are two different laptops.
The Air was dumb because it has no drive and less features for more money.The iPad has many issues. I don't think price is really one of them, but I don't think I'm the target buyer here. I'm just not sure why Apple seems to think so many people would be the target.
And the thought of them still not supporting Flash sickens me.

- price dropped to $199
(Kindle is also 1/2 price now)Meeklo - DX still at 498$ http://tinyurl.com/y…ernexbcn

@Meeklo that Kindle you linked is the 6 inches version, the DX which is 9.7 inches goes for 498$
So the 16GB iPad (with no 3G but wi-fi) at 499$ compared to this Kindle is a steal...

The irony of this thread is that most of you NEED an iPad for your bleeding vag's.
