Apple's iPad

[Rubin Farr]

So the buzz has become deafening that this thing will launch like in the next 90 days with a 10.5" diagonal touchscreen, support for hi def video, ebooks, app store etc etc. I'm wondering if it will run any OSX applications and if any of our beloved music artitsts who are ardent apple supporters will incorporate it into their live shows. Should be cool to see how this evolves after launch.

Do you really want a tablet that can only run iphone apps in larger resolution anyway?

 

 

Just call it a big ipod touch

so true! never even thought of this. but it seems like the tablet concept is in a sort of limbo though, as far as the computing power and what it'd be used for—either more simple app usage, or serious computer biz

there will be tv shows, movies, books & subscriptions to magazines. the itunes store will envelop the world. seriously.

the ipod and iphone were both game changers and this will prove to be no different. with 3g capabilities, it will be limitless.

 

they have taken their time with this because its not going to be an iphone with a big screen and its not going to be a laptop with a small screen. its going to create a new genre of portable entertainment devices.

with net-books and computing in general becoming more cloud oriented pure storage/power are becoming smaller factors in what people want and expect from portable devices.

I would get one, but I think for taking notes in class I would want a USB keyboard to attach to it.

and you'll need itunes installed just to check the tyre pressure, and give apple money every time you want to fill it with air.

 

 

To be fair (before anyone says it) that would be the ityre. but whatever you know what i mean.
