    Who cares, it's not like it was meant to be practical. This a fashion accessory, some girls love it same as they love their Prada purse...

    Ok. I used speedtest.net app both on iPhone 3GS and the new iPad. I clearly see the difference.

    iPad download speed is 1.83 megabits/sec whereas
    iPhone 3GS download speed is 14.77 megabits/sec
    lol

    For the Apple fans, this means that the next iPad will be awesome!!!111111111111111
    For the rest of the world, this means it's worthless.

    A bit like netbooks, it's not really that hard to improve when you're starting out on minus.

    lol, some of the things people are saying is priceless!

    The apple logo at the back is where the antenna is from my understanding so I guess make sure that's not covered.

    Wow. No proper document importing due to font styles and NO PRINT FUNCTION? I wasn't a fan of this when I first saw it but I was gradually warming to the idea. Now....I am stunned. Or maybe I shouldn't be.

    ...

    I know 2 people who tried to tell me how great the Ipad is going to be. I laughed at them and I still think it's going to be a flop, at least in it's current form. I'd like something like that dual screen microsoft journal device where I can use it to read books along with most laptop functions, and then close it up to protect it when i'm carrying or not using it.

    I can just imagine some high rise in NYC with some snooty douchebag in a 34th floor apartment doing something on the ipad that some average guy can do faster with a cheap laptop or netbook, and then a homeless guy using another Ipad for an ass warmer on the ground floor.

    No.

    For according to apple, flash is a expired platform.

    The no print thing was discussed here when someone brought how awesome the iPad would be for taking notes in class (no hand writing recognition, no stylus, no printing)!!!

    Why is ipad suppose to be video centered device anyways it cant play/scale 1080p/any proper formats.

    I am really pissed on apple, on one hand i love my macbook air and on the other hand this crap?? Also here is my thinking netbooks are better in about everything the iPad stands for and well sales of netbooks are all ready slowing up.

    Still netbooks like DELL 464 are really nice and light i cant imagine why people would buy a ipad instead? If you need a tablet i would recommend a Archos 9 which i found quite good it was light and quite nice to look at also choice could be the HP slate.
    Coming Soon

    Uh-oh...

    The funny bit is that the guy bought that thing even knowing that it wouldn't do what he wanted...

    Indeed...

    The cool thing about being some of the first to own it are the bragging rights. The not so cool thing is being the proverbial guinea pigs.

    They should hold the iPad closer to the photo of Jobs they have on their walls. Jobs will bless their iPads which should fix all wifi problems.
