It's not an iPhone.

Doesn't mean it's bad, but as with all things display - less bezel is generally better.]]>Jan 27th 2010 1:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/27/the-apple-ipad/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/27/the-apple-ipad/
It is! Plus... I said it before, and I'll say it again: "iPad"?! What kind of name is that. Like "iPod" spoken with a New England accent.]]>Jan 27th 2010 1:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/27/the-apple-ipad/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/27/the-apple-ipad/http://img59.imageshack.us/img59/3918/ipad.jpg]]>Jan 27th 2010 1:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/27/the-apple-ipad/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/27/the-apple-ipad/

I don't see it as a flaw.

Want to bet that they didn't even try to buy the name before they claimed it for their own?]]>Jan 27th 2010 1:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/27/the-apple-ipad/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/27/the-apple-ipad/
As an apple supporter I must say I HATE the name....

Have to agree. No Flash kills this thing. You can't surf the web today without Flash support. Everything depends on Flash. There are thousands of Flash apps out there, thousands of top rated web sites that depend on it.

I dont know what they were thinking. ]]>Jan 27th 2010 1:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/27/the-apple-ipad/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/27/the-apple-ipad/
I'm no Kupertino Kool-Aid drinker, BUT, I can see the bezel as a good thing. Think books. The printing doesn't go all the way to the edge, so you can hold it with your thumb, not obstructing your view.

I'll stick with something pocket-able (smartphone) when I'm mobile, and a good sized laptop for travel/home.

The "faithful" will buy it in droves. They'll find a reason, and I'm sure it fills SOME nitch.]]>Jan 27th 2010 1:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/27/the-apple-ipad/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/27/the-apple-ipad/

Yeah but you gotta hold it somewhere, right?]]>Jan 27th 2010 1:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/27/the-apple-ipad/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/27/the-apple-ipad/Jan 27th 2010 1:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/27/the-apple-ipad/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/27/the-apple-ipad/Jan 27th 2010 1:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/27/the-apple-ipad/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/27/the-apple-ipad/Jan 27th 2010 1:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/27/the-apple-ipad/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/27/the-apple-ipad/

Yea it's a large bezel, but you have to hold it somewhere man. This isn't small enough to wrap your hand around. It's a touch interface and your thumb has to go somewhere. It makes sense even if it looks dumb.]]>Jan 27th 2010 1:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/27/the-apple-ipad/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/27/the-apple-ipad/
Jobs will do anything to leverage the appstore/itunes... even it means an $800 ipod touch.

Shares will trade at 170 by the end of this quarter.

Wow, I'm an Apple fan (own a MBP and an iPhone 3G) but I can't see myself ever buying one of these. Quite literally an oversized iPod Touch :/]]>Jan 27th 2010 2:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/27/the-apple-ipad/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/27/the-apple-ipad/
Many websites are removing flash for video and moving to HTML5, which even the iPhone Safari supports.

I am *hardcore Apple*. I have a Macbook Pro, a MacPro octocore, I use Final Cut studio every day, I use Shake every day, I bought an iPhone on day 1.....

The first thing that popped into my head when I saw this picture of Steve Jobs holding the "iPad" was Dom Jolly in the Sketch show Trigger Happy TV - holding that big massive phone screaming "HELLO? HELLO??".
