It will always be a giant iPod touch until they get rid of the reliance on iTunes to do anything.

How can a device be better than a netbook if I need to use my netbook for document transfers? ]]>May 7th 2010 9:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/07/ipad-international-launch-is-go-on-may-28/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/07/ipad-international-launch-is-go-on-may-28/Very good point. My friend has an iPad, and I liked it more after using his, but it's still not worth the money to me. You raise a very good point though...it can't be a standalone device.]]>May 7th 2010 9:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/07/ipad-international-launch-is-go-on-may-28/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/07/ipad-international-launch-is-go-on-may-28/Well clearly you have an interest in it selling well for your app to do well, so we'll ignore what you say on the matter.]]>May 7th 2010 9:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/07/ipad-international-launch-is-go-on-may-28/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/07/ipad-international-launch-is-go-on-may-28/I'm On My second iPad, I bought the WiFi when it was first available and replaced it with the 3G version as soon as it came out. I'm an IT Manager and Primarily use it with winadmin & Logmein Ignition for remote access to my servers & workstations. Since I recieved the First iPad I havent used My Laptop once. Its a Totaly comfortable Piece of equipment to use.. PS: I Also use it for Saving pictures, web surfing and some Light word processing & Spreadsheet work and its VERY Easy to get a document on the iPad by emailing it.. Oh Yea and the Battery Life is Just out of this WORLD!! ]]>May 7th 2010 9:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/07/ipad-international-launch-is-go-on-may-28/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/07/ipad-international-launch-is-go-on-may-28/May 7th 2010 9:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/07/ipad-international-launch-is-go-on-may-28/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/07/ipad-international-launch-is-go-on-may-28/May 7th 2010 9:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/07/ipad-international-launch-is-go-on-may-28/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/07/ipad-international-launch-is-go-on-may-28/May 7th 2010 9:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/07/ipad-international-launch-is-go-on-may-28/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/07/ipad-international-launch-is-go-on-may-28/
I do not understand the drama. I use GoodReader to transfer documents over the air in seconds. AirVideo is used to stream content from my laptop.

I use the iPad everyday. The last time it was connected to my laptop was April 3rd. ]]>May 7th 2010 9:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/07/ipad-international-launch-is-go-on-may-28/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/07/ipad-international-launch-is-go-on-may-28/Well its not apples fault, so i cant blame steve.

What good point? That you need iTunes to do anything on the iPad? That is nonsense. Use GoodReader and/or Dropbox. ]]>May 7th 2010 9:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/07/ipad-international-launch-is-go-on-may-28/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/07/ipad-international-launch-is-go-on-may-28/"Well it sucks that eruopeans have to pay over 100 dollars more then americans for the cheapest version.

It's the higher VAT of 15 to 20 % in Europe. What few people know: The US have higher income taxes than Europe. Overall, the tax rates are not that different.

I believe that 479 € is a really good price (in light of the current currency crisis), and there's even a relative price drop on the 3G models! Who knows, we might see a $30 price drop for the 3G in the US as well.]]>May 7th 2010 9:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/07/ipad-international-launch-is-go-on-may-28/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/07/ipad-international-launch-is-go-on-may-28/
At work my laptop is connected to a file server. I pull files from the server to my local drive. Does that mean my laptop is not a stand alone device?]]>May 7th 2010 10:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/07/ipad-international-launch-is-go-on-may-28/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/07/ipad-international-launch-is-go-on-may-28/" The US have higher income taxes than Europe"
Is that so? Im pretty sure that Denmark for one, have much higher income taxes.]]>May 7th 2010 10:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/07/ipad-international-launch-is-go-on-may-28/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/07/ipad-international-launch-is-go-on-may-28/May 7th 2010 10:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/07/ipad-international-launch-is-go-on-may-28/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/07/ipad-international-launch-is-go-on-may-28/May 7th 2010 10:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/07/ipad-international-launch-is-go-on-may-28/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/07/ipad-international-launch-is-go-on-may-28/May 7th 2010 10:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/07/ipad-international-launch-is-go-on-may-28/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/07/ipad-international-launch-is-go-on-may-28/Any of you americans want to swap income tax with me?]]>May 7th 2010 10:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/07/ipad-international-launch-is-go-on-may-28/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/07/ipad-international-launch-is-go-on-may-28/
WHAT a BS. Clearly never been to Europe. ]]>May 7th 2010 10:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/07/ipad-international-launch-is-go-on-may-28/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/07/ipad-international-launch-is-go-on-may-28/I bought my 3G iPod touch 32GB purely for developing purposes for Cydia, and I feel that it will be a waste of $563 (CAD) for basically extra inches of screen, and a regular processor (considering the size of the screen, it is basically equal to that of the chip inside the iPod)

Maybe if I rack up a few bucks over time, or a new model comes out offering the much preferred features, or I am given it to me for free.]]>May 7th 2010 11:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/07/ipad-international-launch-is-go-on-may-28/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/07/ipad-international-launch-is-go-on-may-28/May 7th 2010 11:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/07/ipad-international-launch-is-go-on-may-28/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/07/ipad-international-launch-is-go-on-may-28/Now dont be a twat. I am danish, that is why i know for a fact that we have some of the highest income taxes.

For the price right now, it's not worth it despite the IPS display. When it drops below £300 and has iPhone OS 4 (a couple of months away for the iPad), then it'll be pretty cool but I'm gonna have the iPhone 4G so still won't buy one.

They could make a killing over Christmas if they price it right. £350 would sell big time because consoles are hitting that £100 mark (preowned for PS3) so plenty left in the budget.]]>May 7th 2010 11:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/07/ipad-international-launch-is-go-on-may-28/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/07/ipad-international-launch-is-go-on-may-28/
I know for a fact you need iTunes to even start using the iPad. It wants you to plug it into a computer with the newest iTunes running right when you unbox it. It's so stupid.]]>May 7th 2010 11:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/07/ipad-international-launch-is-go-on-may-28/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/07/ipad-international-launch-is-go-on-may-28/Denmark here: I pay 55% in income tax, and we pay 25% in VAT.
Do you want to swap taxes and VAT? Just say when.]]>May 7th 2010 11:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/07/ipad-international-launch-is-go-on-may-28/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/07/ipad-international-launch-is-go-on-may-28/
Sorry, that's not true. The only two European countries that have a lower personal income tax rate are Ireland and Iceland.

Of course, we have less services offered to us in those countries, but our income tax levels are substantially lower. ]]>May 7th 2010 11:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/07/ipad-international-launch-is-go-on-may-28/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/07/ipad-international-launch-is-go-on-may-28/Yeah plus multimedia licens, wich is just like and extra tax and costs around 450 dollar a year.
Yeah we are the happiest people in the world, but you have to wonder why?]]>May 7th 2010 11:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/07/ipad-international-launch-is-go-on-may-28/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/07/ipad-international-launch-is-go-on-may-28/While that might be true, there's more to tax pressure than just income tax. If I'd write a list of all the different taxes I have to pay over here (Netherlands), it'd probably fill up a full page of reactions ;-).

Well, "International" means "thorugh many countries", not "every single place in the world" -the word for that might be "Global", anyway-.

So, in this case, the iPad will be released in many countries over Europe. So yeah, Intenational it is.]]>May 7th 2010 12:13PM
