So if some of you follow apples new technologies. The newest of which is the Ipad. Looks like a pretty cool tablet computer. But then you do a quick search on youtube and say to your self seriously what the F%$$ where they thinking. Calling it the ipad.... Especially when this video on MadTV was released 2 years ago. Enjoy. HA HA HA

Its an iPhone for Yao Ming!

The iPad is a replacement for the iTampon.

Seems like a cool device but...

Its too big for my pocket, too small for my laptop bag, doesn't do everything a laptop can do. Kicks ass over a netbook but who buys netbooks? I don't think it would be efficient enough for business, I need a real keyboard and hooking up a keyboard makes it really no different than a laptop. I guess it would be nice to watch videos on trips or to have around the house but today's laptops are getting lighter and smaller as it is. It would make a nice photo album, a $600 photo album. It is easy to see that it will take over the ebook reader market, amazon kindle is dead next to the iPad. Apple is launching the iBooks equivalent to iTunes.

Has anyone used an ebook reader? I imagine you would get eye strain after a while, maybe the iPad is easier on the eyes for ebooks?

If the iPhone display was just a little bigger, it would be perfect.

Before even reading this thread, I was thinking of a smartass tampon related post to put up, but the OP had me beat lol.

I haven't had a chance to look into these, I don't really feel the need to, I use my iPhone for Internet/email, more than I do a computer. All I know is, I'll be getting a new iPhone, once this one decides to take a dump (if it ever does).

I don't really get the device, maybe the 2nd generation of it will improve or there will be some killer app. Using it for web browsing is stupid, since it doesn't support Adobe Flash. You might not realize how many things use Flash until you use on iPhone or the iPad. Doing work on it doesn't seem too practical without any multitasking. If you want to lay in bed or in an airport or car or restaurant and look something up quick, read some news, or browse they web, then the iPhone works great. This thing seems too big to carry with you all the time, pull out on the fly, and seems like it would send out a big "steal me" in public. It would probably work great for students, if all their textbooks could be replaced with it. My wife uses the Kindle ebook reader app on her iPhone.

I hope they make an arm band for it, so I can use it at the gym.

I am thankful we have a company pushing the envelope of technological advances. If they adhered to the rest of the companies' planned obsolesence business models, we might just be getting decent mp3 players, and still have to wait for all the nice smart phones(Iphone and.... droid?).

Isn't North America already really behind the curve when it comes to phone technology?
