Hahaha.
That image is worth a thousand laughs in itself.

Personally, I don't understand all the hype about the iPad. To me it seems just like an Ipod Touch without the ability to fit it in your pocket.

I understand there's going to be an even larger one, still slim and
touch-screen, but about a third larger screen...


They're gonna call it MAXiPad.

iPod touch's screen is a bit small for surfing so this one would be great as an internet tool.  In 2-5 years when the iPad is about 200 I'll pick one up  O0

According to this article here, it's kinda like a segway....

1. Check this out!

2. Hey! That's really cool!

3. ...but it's too slow to go on the road...
3a. ...and too fast and wide for the sidewalk....

4. Wow, it seemed cool, but actually it's almost useless.


The good news is, I hadn't planned to buy one anyway.  Better just, it's the first-effort;
they'll tweak, redesign and improve and the MAXiPad will be better.

i have absolutely no use for this thing (because i have an iphone) until you can draw on it, and subsequently print said drawing.  or use it as a light board for tracing.  when we have that, i will totally get one.

I predict MAXiPad world domination.

I can't wait for this thing. I take my macbook everywhere. And I literally mean everywhere. I see the iPad as apple's answer to the netbook. Awesome.

A laptop for me will always be easier to do what I generally do on such devices- type. I can't handle touch pads for longer pieces of writing at all.

That's why you use the bluetooth keyboard, or buy the apple keyboard dock. Using the touch screen as a mouse is still less cumbersome than using the tiny trackpad on a netbook.

So ya buy the super-light, super-flat, no-fuss, no-muss pad computer.....

Then hook it up to a bunch of cumbersome peripherals...
