I think if it is a tablet I may finally buy an apple product.

You were stupid not to buy one, at least the original iPod monkey.

Blah I thought it would be a ultra sensitive drawing art tablet, not a touch screen tablet/computer with a bunch of useless unneeded shit I don't need. I hope it's just a drawing tablet with a lot of good new movement functionality and very high pressure values. If I want a portable Os I'll bring a macbook/PC laptop.

It's more like a tablet PC that will most likely cost 4x the price of a superior, Wacom Cintiq tablet.

Please...if you want an incredible tablet screen, save up for this

Apple - iPad - Watch the iPad video.

iPad announced. Not what I expected. I see the market for it, but currently I'm not interested.

It's just a giant iPhone. Made to be a "window" into your favorite media and web features, without being a PMP or a "laptop".

if this catches on i will hate society. writing an article for shababulhaq.com on this trash later tonight

Oh I think it will definitely catch on. I can pretty much see it. The casual market will think "why do I need a laptop? I just want to surf the web, read books and email, and watch a movie in my room every once in a while. But I want to do it on the go and in a slim, easy package."--Bingo. The iPad.

Then the other companies will try to make touch-screen mockup pads, like Sony and Amazon.

Price drop later this year, I'm sure. And then every teenager is going to get an iPad to chat with their friends in their room and to take on trips and to school.

Take an immensely popular product, the iPhone, and make something that bridges the gap between the varied flexibility of the laptop/desktop, and the portability of the iPhone, and you have a marketable product.

I see this becoming the new direction for personal items. Everyone having their own "iPad" to take with them to school and stuff.

If they build enough educational apps, I actually might consider getting one after a price drop, to take notes in class (teachers don't like the clackety-sound of a keyboard in a class if you type notes) and it's very small and portable.

Fucking Apple. I hate them. But this is one product I see that might be useful later for me. Though not for more than $300.

kinda disappointed. Apple only announced that? Really? No OS update no new handset or no new update about the "AT&T and Verizon" thing which I really don't care about but it is pretty interesting to see people stick up for both sides. Tbh I was more excited about this rumored 4.0 but now it's a dissapointment that they didn't even bring it up. Oh well
