Apples new Ipad.

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?).

Making the iPod Touch bigger is a technological advance? It took Apple about 2 years to get copy and paste functionality on the iPhone, a simple function that has existed since computers were first around, a function that Blackberry and Microsoft had in their mobile operating systems 2 years prior to Apple's introduction of it. And when it was announced they hailed it as some sort of breakthrough.

The iPad doesn't have peripheral support, it can't multitask (can only run one application at a time) and once again is tethered to the AT&T network, whose service is so terrible people are leaving AT&T for other service providers like rats on a sinking ship.

While Steve Jobs called the iPad "the best Web experience you've ever had," there is a big missing piece right now, and that's the whole Web Browser-based apps and Flash-driven content are huge elements of cloud computing and of many Web sites, and right now it's not even clear whether the iPad can even run Hulu or Netflix.
