I wonder where the Zune Marketplace media deals are.

Oh right, "people don't do that"

I still feel the same about it. But to a certain extent. See, if this thing wasnt $500 dollars, it would be acceptable. I mean it has potential. It really does. It can serve for multiple uses such as a clipboard, to take orders at a restaurant, or be used to display blueprints without going through the hassle of unrolling multiple ones, or to write down football plays. You know, something like Surface has been doing in fancy restaurants. But its still just a huge iPod Touch. And since this is being marketed to me (and average consumers), as a replacement to a netbook, well, I don't see how it can do that. It's garbage. A netbook can multitask, is more open, costs less. I'm better off getting an iPod Touch if I want to just dick around on the internet you know? Better yet, an iPhone.

Of course, this is all my opinion, and we're all entitled to one. I respect everyone else's opinions, but I just dont see how this would be useful to me for everyday use. HP Slate appeals to me a bit more as a power user. But we've yet to even see the battery life on that thing. ]]>Mar 18th 2010 11:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/18/wsj-apple-still-racing-to-complete-ipad-content-deals-before/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/18/wsj-apple-still-racing-to-complete-ipad-content-deals-before/Also in B4 "wall-of-text"

To be honest, I share your opinion about the iPad. I just don't see it yet. I have an iPhone and a Macbook Pro why do I need this? To me this wasn't answered but like you said it has some huge potential. I am a college student and if text book companies would get on board (and actually not charge us a arm and leg) this would sell to everyone. You would see an Apple iPad in every school in the nation. As a media consumption pad w/out similar functions of a low cost netbook I'll save my money or get me a Nexus One (especially since the ATT 3G band just got released)]]>Mar 18th 2010 11:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/18/wsj-apple-still-racing-to-complete-ipad-content-deals-before/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/18/wsj-apple-still-racing-to-complete-ipad-content-deals-before/
