    too little.. too late! low functionality - we expected a computer, not a mutated photoframe. the only good thing is the battery life, but what is it good for? browsing and films? a bloody lot of devices can do it. and yes, it looks ugly. what happenned to the world's leading apple designer bunch??

      Steve Jobs is 9 years behind Microsoft.

      We did the tablet things in 2001. Wake up Jobs.

      The iPad is iCrap.

      Nuff said.

              [deleted post]vacations? cmon...how many VACATIONS do you have in a year! and besides would you rather engage yourself totally on your iPad than appreciate the view or the stillness of your surroundings? how about having a chat with your mates...isn't vacations about catching up on lost times rather than loosing more time on a bloddy useless iPad? the point is apple got too greedy and witheld a lot of technology it could easily have thrown into the 3G picture frame and allianated a lot of costumers in the end! costly mistake! but we'll see how this iPad phenomenon will pan out.

                I believe Steve Jobs has lost the plot with this piece 'tech'. It's bigger than a netbook, more expensive than a netbook, does a lot less than a netbook, no keyboard. To me this seems totally pointless!


                Stick the Iphone Steve, just make it better please, the hardware is way behind other phone hardware.

                  Definitely its for the iLunatics.

                  There are number of other devices available with good OS and lots of functionality.

                  Let the iLunatics enjoy it.

                    much better than those pc netbooks like the nokia and acers that are, to my opinion, total let downs.
                    the ipad is the next gen of netbooks.

                                  When your iPad is too old, do you have to wrap it in toilet paper before throwing it away? Nothing worse than a used iPad just sitting around in the trash can.

                                        Yes, this product is a joke. Nevertheless, there will be people with 'great' intellect that gonna buy it anyway or anyhow.
                                        Like one person mentioned, I could also see myself in the bathroom with it. Now who is going to sanitize that!

                                        Fujitsu has multi-touch screen, and comes with a full OS (see Windows 7). You select your size, weight, and etc...

                                        This thing from Apple is for grandmas. Where is she??? Let me find her: "Hey grandma, I got something for U".
