Apple's Ipad
 
Glad I have the stock! cost is 499$ - 829$... yes that will work, now I must wait 60 days to buy 1. It is revolutionary IMHO

I'm still trying to figure out why I need one.

We're already discussing it 2 posts up at the moment.

yes I know, but most of those people don't have a clue what this device is, until their kids tell them!

Most of the kids are calling it a giant iTouch.

I'm still trying to figure out the question this thing is answering.

Maybe it's the reader portion, and how Apple might be looking to make books part of its iTunes library.

I dunno...

Yeah, I'm trying to see the "killer app" in this. It is a giant Ipod. It needs a giant iKeyboard.

Run along back to mommy, you little whipper-snapper, before I tan your hide!

OK, Enzo, what is the killer app? Watching TV on the tablet instead of the big screen? E-reader? Are you going to read it in the toilet, while you take a dump?

Apple vs. Amazon, a grudge match that has been coming for a long time.

porsche4life 01-27-2010 11:33 AM

Apple's blind stupid rich Fanboi's will win that battle sadly....

The iPhone and iPod had fans other than hardcore fanboys.

I don't see who will buy this other than the fanboys.

You know it. Particularly if that iTouch (+ size) is remotely the same dimension as a Kindle. If it is, goodbye Kindle.

Can I just call it Newton 2.0?

Seems like it's amateur hour at Apple Labs.

PS The iNapkin is so ten-minutes-ago. The true 1337 are already drooling over the Google Chrome tablet.

Isn't this an iTouch that Chrome is displayed on?

Have you tried Chrome? I've heard good things about it.

This thing is going to kill the kindle, which is no small feat. People were already buying kindles to add to their travel gear of laptop, cell phone and reader. Many people were using netbooks (small, cheap, low powered laptop) to read stuff and email.

Now along comes the iTampon and it handles most of those tasks, runs all of the iPhone apps and has entertainment to boot.

This is a game changer.

Disclosure: I own no apple products or stocks. I don't sell apple hardware or software.

i'm a "fanman" thank u very much, LOL... there is a good reason for that porsche4life, have you ever used a mac? I was once a skeptic, but then I used one, never looked back. I do own stock, bought more after I used an iphone, will not be selling it anytime soon, it's what is getting me through this recessoin. as far as google chrome is concerned there is no customer service & it is inferior to apple, no way in hell would I buy that. The "fanboys" group is getting larger 3.36 million macbooks sold !/2 were new customers, this guarter, thanks to 7ista! Apple won the grudge match today! I could suffer with mr softee but I choose not to. At 499$ it is an absolute steal, I guarantee the other computer companies are cringing, Apple just twisted the knife

Yeah, what is the Apple Computer market share right now? 6.6%

Isn't that right around the market share for Priuses?

As a matter of fact I have used a Mac.... Quite a bit.... My room mate has one... Its laying about 3ft from me.... I would own one too... But I can build a DELL for half the price that is just as fast.....

Apple didn't twist the knife... They didn't make a computer... they enlarged the iPhone(which I am on my second one of BTW)... When they make a tablet for 400 that will do EVERYTHING my XP laptop will do for 400... Then they will have twisted the knife....

What was Apple's share of the PC market in 1980?
