Do you have any idea how many people might have searched iPad after that commercial?

If you google iPad, Engadget is the fourth listing, not including the "News" and "latest talk" listings.

Sorry you were so confused by my statement.

Since your mentioned the Android MUST have more brilliant solution , you got to see this in the same site.
http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/entelligence-will-android-fragmentation-destroy-the-platform/
You got to see this ironic truth.
"? I recently tried to install one of the few good Android games and found it won't work on Nexus One as it has a nonstandard screen resolution. "

Since all OSX mobile device only have two kind of resolution now, and
iPad OS can simply use double pixel approach to run all iPhone apps.
Will any use have problem on resolutions about apps ? Not at all.]]>Mar 8th 2010 4:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/07/first-ipad-ad-premieres-during-the-oscars/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/07/first-ipad-ad-premieres-during-the-oscars/Ugh..

How boring was the Xbox before the updated UI and the new blades?

Remember when the PS3 couldn't upscale DVD's?

You know what is really "magical" with this device as well as most of the newer devices that exist?

F-I-R-M-W-A-R-E

How about all of the touchscreen phones we have today?
Oh yeah....that was all started by this device,...you may have heard of it....the iPhone.

I myself hated every thread of Apple's being....i was truly a Microsoft fan, hardcore.....mainly because I thought all of Apples stuff was overpriced....

But then I looked at what it really was....awesome hardware.
They have a higher standard to what they put their name on.
Do you know how many cheap pieces of crap will come out with Android on it?

Its going to be a touchscreen RAZR in a few years....
Market will be saturated with all of it.

Now if we look back at Apple....

Ok, so the iPad doesn't have a camera/webcam on it?
Who cares? I surely don't want to prop this sucker up and try to get a quick family portrait from it. I would much rather prop up an iPhone or equivalent device.

Ok, so no Flash? You know what? I think once Android devices and Dell Mini 5's start crawling into the market...Apple and Adobe will go out to some desolate area of the playground and make nice.

Guess what happens then?

One simple firmware update will upgrade every mobile apple device, clear back to the original 2007 iPhone, and everyone will have their flash.....or HTML 5.....whatever happens first.

Someone will conform, and Apple hardware will accommodate it.

Look at what the iPad really is....its an idea, based around a clipboard size touchscreen device.

There are already companies that will inject iPads into a hospital setting for real-time patient info, which they don't have to go back to a computer to type into.

Oh and you say it will be hard to type on? You wouldn't want to type a novel on the thing? Guess what, it was hard to type on the iPhone, and then everyone got adjusted to it.

So everyone that just likes seeing your voice typed out on a blog...

Shut up, and watch the future happen before your eyes.....

If I could treat this thing "just as hardware", I would certainly be less hard on it. I can do that with my minis and my AppleTV.

I can even do that with my older ipods.

I can't do that with my iphone or this thing.
