Ipad = Retarded - BoomTheTruth

The iPad is indeed just an iPhone on steroids. Have you seen all of those Apple tablet renderings before the launch? Some of them were great and a giant iPhone or a giant Itouch is just ugly. There are and there will be more detailed and better tablets on the market.

The Apple iPad is expensive and you cannot use regular connectors from your other devices. You will have to use some expensive Apple stuff. A physical keyboard is not included in the package, you will have to buy it yourself. Want a camera? Pay for it! Can you buy a conventional camera? No, you have to buy Apple’s camera connection kit. The iPad case is also not included in the package so this means that you will have to dig deep into your pockets.

We were all expecting something innovative from Apple and a new OS would have been great. iPhone OS 3.2 is no improvement over iPhone OS 3.1.3 currently available for the iPhone and iPod Touch. The iPad really is just a big iPhone and that will not help you at all.

You might purchase videos from the iTunes store and download them to your iPad. You could watch them on the large 9-inch screen, however, I’d like to watch it on a HDTV. Oh, there’s not HDMI port, not even a TV-out connector.

This Ipad the next generation of crap all this thing is a gimic for Apple to attempt to squeeze as much money out of Iphone craze before it begins to die down. Apple has run out of steam on new products after the Iphone and Itouch came out...and the worst part is the Ipad is apparently geared towards the older generation who would want a bigger screen...gee let me think what will be better checking my email in my handheld iphone or reaching for my dumass big Ipad from my bag...BooM
