ill need a privacy screen,isight, a protective case,didnt hear about flash(no hulu) i do love the idea/concept. i too will wait until the ipad is revamped not gonna rush out to buy it... i dont think. i am impatient thought0-either way id prefer the bugs if any be worked out be for i spend some Big Faces.
Nothing revolutionary about this device. It's basically a giant iPod Touch or iPhone. The price is decent when you look at the low end. But, do I really want to buy a device with only 16 GB of RAM? My iPhone has more than that.
I'm just not sure there's room or need for a device between a SmartPhone and a laptop. This is pretty much just a really cool touchscreen netbook.
I may have missed this but are there any usb ports? if so i currently pay for a wireless card i'd like to be able to use my current service instead of paying for whats being offered. The purchase price is steep for the 3g+wifi ipads-im personally not crazy about wifi service only its useless,to me that is. This is a great device, I'm a streamer so ill need an unlimited plan with a larger hardrive, sooooooo
I dont think its practical to charge customers for another data plan,especially those of us who own iphone's. There should be some way to piggy back off of your current plan with AT&T. I believe its called nickel & diming. I also agree that at&t is digging themselves a bigger hole. they have 3 android devices,currently all the iphone traffic & now this ipad.
I hope the media starts reporting that this thing is $829 compared to a $499 netbook. Apple needs to be pushed into making more reasonably priced devices. Adding extra memory and a radio doesn't cost them anything.
You're probably right. If they can jailbreak the tablet to let me tether my phone then I'm sold. There's not way I'm paying extra for 3G on it when I've got a phone that does it fine.
If they bring this out for $299, I'd say that would be a big deal. If it ekes in at $399, Apple fans will buy the hell out of it. If it starts at $499, I think they'll swing and miss.
Well, Apple TV is a neglected product at Apple. There's no reason to buy it. It's not updated, and Apple themselves consider it nothing more than a "hobby."
This has full support of Apple and third party developers.
I guess I'm still waiting for the hook that's going to tie all of this together, and make me want it, but for some reason I have a feeling it's just not going to happen.
I think the price is going to be the thing or me. I've been looking for a slate and I see this as the best device for my needs as of now. Price could change all that though. Wish they would hurry up and say it, my lunch break is almost over here.
