Status of My Opinion of Apple Haters: Unchanged.

Still bitter as can be over Apple's upcoming success with this device.]]>Mar 27th 2010 9:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/27/new-screenshots-of-ipad-apps-start-to-make-this-thing-seem-less/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/27/new-screenshots-of-ipad-apps-start-to-make-this-thing-seem-less/
Granted, this product is not for everyone, but I'd bet it will be a great product for many people and it will sale VERY well.

People who criticize it for being nothing more than an over-sized iPod Touch are completely missing the point. It's size is its killer feature. Developers can do so much more with this screen, and that fact is all the more important because the screen is also the HID.]]>Mar 27th 2010 9:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/27/new-screenshots-of-ipad-apps-start-to-make-this-thing-seem-less/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/27/new-screenshots-of-ipad-apps-start-to-make-this-thing-seem-less/Mar 27th 2010 10:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/27/new-screenshots-of-ipad-apps-start-to-make-this-thing-seem-less/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/27/new-screenshots-of-ipad-apps-start-to-make-this-thing-seem-less/

Without a doubt, this device is completely useless. Still, it's another chance for some of us to make some extra money. Hopefully this thing sells, and my cash camel finally arrives.]]>Mar 27th 2010 10:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/27/new-screenshots-of-ipad-apps-start-to-make-this-thing-seem-less/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/27/new-screenshots-of-ipad-apps-start-to-make-this-thing-seem-less/
Yes, and they will also be anxiously waiting for many of their applications to load with Windows 7 being a bloated OS for a tablet.]]>Mar 27th 2010 11:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/27/new-screenshots-of-ipad-apps-start-to-make-this-thing-seem-less/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/27/new-screenshots-of-ipad-apps-start-to-make-this-thing-seem-less/
Right there with you...and your right engadget, it does seem less like an iPhone...cause it doesn't make friggin phone calls or have a camera!

Until then, it will never be anything more than a giant iPod Touch]]>Mar 27th 2010 11:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/27/new-screenshots-of-ipad-apps-start-to-make-this-thing-seem-less/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/27/new-screenshots-of-ipad-apps-start-to-make-this-thing-seem-less/Mar 27th 2010 11:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/27/new-screenshots-of-ipad-apps-start-to-make-this-thing-seem-less/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/27/new-screenshots-of-ipad-apps-start-to-make-this-thing-seem-less/
Nope, I double-checked. It's definitely useless.]]>Mar 28th 2010 12:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/27/new-screenshots-of-ipad-apps-start-to-make-this-thing-seem-less/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/27/new-screenshots-of-ipad-apps-start-to-make-this-thing-seem-less/HDMI - I want to be able to have movies stored onboard and watch them on a big 1080p tv.
USB - I want to be able to print, use an external hard drive and other peripherals.
iChat Camera - I love my iChat! Seems like the competitors have front facing cameras..

I really think that the iPad is going to be a very powerful flexible tool and toy, in the future. This first batch is more toy than tool. But I can't think of a computer to use while sitting on the john!]]>Mar 28th 2010 12:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/27/new-screenshots-of-ipad-apps-start-to-make-this-thing-seem-less/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/27/new-screenshots-of-ipad-apps-start-to-make-this-thing-seem-less/
It looks EVEN MORE like a giant iPhone.

This was the most misleading headline ever.]]>Mar 28th 2010 12:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/27/new-screenshots-of-ipad-apps-start-to-make-this-thing-seem-less/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/27/new-screenshots-of-ipad-apps-start-to-make-this-thing-seem-less/well put. People are so extreme about Apple shit that they sound like idiots. It's not useless, if you think it's useless, you're an idiot. Not worth the money maybe, but not useless. It's also not the greatest, most useful, workhorse powerhouse thing ever. People who praise these things are idiots too. It's a mediocre product that will do certain things really well with a great touchscreen. No more, no less.]]>Mar 28th 2010 12:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/27/new-screenshots-of-ipad-apps-start-to-make-this-thing-seem-less/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/27/new-screenshots-of-ipad-apps-start-to-make-this-thing-seem-less/

You haven't explained it at all.
I want to be able to write with my fingers, add graphs and formulas for math class. Neither of those can be done on the iPad.
Is it a very nice product? Nobody knows because it hasn't been on anyone's hands besides devs and apple workers.
This device has fail written all over it unless Apple does two things:
1. Enable smart-multitasking ala windows phone 7.
2. Fingerworks enabled to use with a "pencil like" device(or buy a hot dog and do what the south koreans were doing).

The only reason people actually would buy a tablet is for that. Nothing else, nothing more. You can't even have a "full web browser experience" because of the lack of flash. Go into design websites and everything is flash-based. So, Apple is lying to our faces.
Is Html5 the future? no. It's buggy, it uses more resources than flash and 70% of the worldwide web will not change overnight. Not counting the fact that designers and companies have invested in adobe itself to change it to html5.

Nah... this is interesting. Questions arise over its ability to create meaningful content but you never know.

Still a long way to go here through.]]>Mar 28th 2010 4:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/27/new-screenshots-of-ipad-apps-start-to-make-this-thing-seem-less/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/27/new-screenshots-of-ipad-apps-start-to-make-this-thing-seem-less/I agree with everything you said, except for HDMI output to a 1080p display. Are you honestly going to store 1080p native videos in the iPad? At each rip being anywhere from 5-16 gb, that's no more than a handful of movies. I can understand why Apple would choose to omit (in fact, I expect them to never really implement) this feature. It's a feature that only techies would use, not counting the battery strain when driving that kind of resolution.]]>Mar 28th 2010 4:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/27/new-screenshots-of-ipad-apps-start-to-make-this-thing-seem-less/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/27/new-screenshots-of-ipad-apps-start-to-make-this-thing-seem-less/

Where is the 3x cheaper netbook can actually works ?
499/3 = 166. Tell which kind of garbage netbook you can buy on the earth ? If you are not poor you must be ridiculous .

And if you really working for salary you will be able to buy 1000$ above
notebook and even more productivity/powerful PC desktop.

Oh wait , you are just a Apple hater to oppose any product release.
Beside, linux is most unusable for average joe.
Sorry, is plain truth . I working every day on linux server to coding
really large C++ application. But my company never though we should
use linux as our desktop even if all our employee is all profession in computing . ]]>Mar 28th 2010 9:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/27/new-screenshots-of-ipad-apps-start-to-make-this-thing-seem-less/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/27/new-screenshots-of-ipad-apps-start-to-make-this-thing-seem-less/Mar 28th 2010 10:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/27/new-screenshots-of-ipad-apps-start-to-make-this-thing-seem-less/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/27/new-screenshots-of-ipad-apps-start-to-make-this-thing-seem-less/The iPad is vastly less useless than your opinion.]]>Mar 28th 2010 11:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/27/new-screenshots-of-ipad-apps-start-to-make-this-thing-seem-less/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/27/new-screenshots-of-ipad-apps-start-to-make-this-thing-seem-less/Until then it's still way overpriced.]]>Mar 28th 2010 1:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/27/new-screenshots-of-ipad-apps-start-to-make-this-thing-seem-less/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/27/new-screenshots-of-ipad-apps-start-to-make-this-thing-seem-less/re: HDMI - agreed. it would make hooking it up so much simpler and more elegant since one cable would transfer audio and video. If they want it to be a content delivery device, you have to be able to share (locally, like on a big screen) that content with others.
re: USB - don't really care about that one. Most printers now have a wireless option, and there are already tons of ways to print of an iPhone, so I'd guess there will be tons of ways to print from an iPad. And any modern wireless router will have a USB port that allows you to network a hard drive and/or printer.
re: iChat - I rarely use the camera, but it would be a nice extra. There will eventually be one, maybe iPad 2. If Apple put everything in version one, there would be more opportunity for bugs, and there would be no reason to upgrade your hardware in a year.

And my entire family quite happily uses Linux. I'm the only one that's somewhat tech-savvy, and none of them have any complaints. Tell me one reason why I wouldn't want Linux on my netbook.]]>Mar 29th 2010 7:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/27/new-screenshots-of-ipad-apps-start-to-make-this-thing-seem-less/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/27/new-screenshots-of-ipad-apps-start-to-make-this-thing-seem-less/Mar 29th 2010 7:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/27/new-screenshots-of-ipad-apps-start-to-make-this-thing-seem-less/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/27/new-screenshots-of-ipad-apps-start-to-make-this-thing-seem-less/
While I'm at it, might as well get it out of the way: yes, there are lots of reasons not to use Linux. If a piece of hardware doesn't work, then you're stuck; no Photoshop, Call of Duty, World of Warcraft or pretty much anything else slightly popular (besides web-browsers); getting stuff from external repositories can cause some major kind of headache; and I still haven't figured out how to use the scanner on my printer. A netbook is pretty much the ONLY place I'd recommend Linux, and even then only if you don't miss iTunes.

On the other hand, I'm commenting on this post, instant-messaging friends on MSN (which isn't even an option on the iPad), doing my college-work with OpenOffice and listening to music at the same time, for under £200. That's my workflow and it's a minimum requirement for me to consider paying in excess of £500 for the iPad. I don't even care that flash isn't here.

Maybe multitasking and instant messaging will come with the next iterations, but right here and right now, it's not for me.]]>Mar 29th 2010 8:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/27/new-screenshots-of-ipad-apps-start-to-make-this-thing-seem-less/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/27/new-screenshots-of-ipad-apps-start-to-make-this-thing-seem-less/Mar 29th 2010 10:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/27/new-screenshots-of-ipad-apps-start-to-make-this-thing-seem-less/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/27/new-screenshots-of-ipad-apps-start-to-make-this-thing-seem-less/START to?
