urgh.... it is so hard to fill a cup that's already full...
the iPad gives you "better" experience by it's "mobility" and "large screen" working together! let me see you browsing the web while laid down comfortably in your couch using a nice MBP... not gonna happen so easily!
Let met guess...you're Bob's brother...
...again, the iPad is NOT a computer...it's not supposed to be compared to one. so stop doing it. It's a better browsing experience in terms of speed...in terms of how you control it, how to navigate, etc...
...you can't compare the rendering from a computer to the iPad...you just can't...nor to a touch or iphone. What you CAN compare without sounding ignorant is how you surf the web on an iphone/touch/iPad versus how you do it on a computer...
EDIT:
I also hate how people bring up "surfing the web on the couch"...I look past how comfortable it is to use. Look at it as a functionality standpoint...what purpose can it serve? It is easier, and more seamless than a computer, making it perfect for the everyday use, for the casual websurfer. How about in the professional work space? It can revolutionize meetings, and how people attend them and how people share information. Same thing in the classroom, also in hospitals...the iPad can hold information on patients, and doctors can use it to gather information, drawings, stats, and share it with the patients...in a way that the patients can understand, and even interact WITH the information...I believe this iPad IS the future!
if people can look past the fact that it LOOKS like a big iPod Touch, then maybe people will imagine various uses for it that everyone will benefit from in one way or another.
I think you´re wrong. Hahahah! Breakthrough device? Get real!
War is peace.
Freedom is slavery.
Ignorance is strength.
iPad is Revolutionary.

I'm kinda figuring out what this thread's all about... Hankster and BobHail are just two people who are really really bored. they were awed by the awesomeness and potentials the iPad has, and they are just too proud to accept that Apple has done it once again!
whatever you guys say from here on is just grasping more air (like someone already mentioned) so save it, because it's just not gonna work for you guys!
see you in april with brand new iPads!!

Actually I´m more of a iPod Touch hater. I don´t see the use for that, when we have the iPhone. So bigger iPod Touch is just more to hate about.
If this iPad would be a bigger iPhone, things would be quite different! At least then it would have camera/videocamera. Of course the phone would probably be pointless on it, but a webcam for Skype video conversations would have been great! In this case you would have actually gotten some value for your 499-829$.
But now it´s just pretty much sad sad device.

Maybe because people don't want to be attached to a cellular network that charges out the wazoo?
And stop putting "
". You make it seem like you're an unintelligent 10 year old that has no knowledge about the business model and how it works. Just stop posting. Period. You make yourself look like a complete fool when you keep spewing junk. No one is listening to you. You're not offering anything insightful, making bullish claims about something you know nothing about.

I rest my case
somehow the movie "I am sam" just came across my mind... idk why...

So giving the iPad at least a camera/videocam and webcam for Skype video conversations require the iPad to be "attached to a cellular network"?
Sorry to break it to you, but your the one sounding really unintelligent fool here, not me.
p.s.
Geez you act like you had money riding on this thing. I mean what do you really have to lose here? I understand you don't approve of it but it isn't even out yet and all this hate.

I'm about to blow a gasket...
You're a moron...people don't want the iPhone because it's EXPENSIVE. THE MONTHLY BILLS ARE EXPENSIVE! People don't want to pay that much...the people that do are 'rich'...now with the iPad, they don't have to be attached to a cellular network...I never said they did. It's not realistic to really add a camera to something you hold right in front of your face for 10-15 minutes during a video call. Can you do video conferencing with the iphone? No. Again, the iPad is NOT a phone, nor a computer...stop comparing them.
If you REALLY want to use skype, use you're macbook or imac...futhermore, no one is gonna replace their macbook or imac with the iPad...it's not the point of it.
You're USELESS. FIND A HOBBY.
I´ve read now multiple forums, news articles and watched Youtube reviews. 80-90% of the people are really just jealous they don't have one now and don´t see the point in praising this slimmed breakthrough device.
I´m guessing it will sell millions. What do you think?
Jealous they don't have one now?? It ISN"T OUT YET!
I don't recall the Newton or Apple TV selling very well,so why are you so damn sure this will sell like the Touch or iPhone??
dude, don't tire yourself over an MS Bot... I know a lost case I see one (in this case, read one)
he's just not giving up...
oh, and btw, I think this IS his hobby, bashing new products for now reason... poor guy......
He has a new hobby. It's called bitching and whining.
I can't understand why, if he doesn't like it he doesn't just move along. When you go in a shop and see something you don't like you don't stand around the shop shouting the hell out of it. You don't buy and move along.
Maybe because there was a demand for either a bigger screened ipod touch or iphone? What? You think Steve Jobs is a moron and would put forth his time and efforts in designing a product that wouldn't sell? There is a market for it. A HUGE one at that...I had an iPod touch when it first came out. From day one I wanted a bigger screen. I got rid of it because the hard drive wasn't large enough for the amount of music I had...
Get some common sense...there is obviously a market for the iPad. Otherwise they wouldn't even think of it. There is a reason that Apple is multi billion dollar corporation and not just some dinky company selling sub-par products.

W/e the case is...he's making himself look like a closed minded, arrogant, douche bag.
Let me get this straight. You're stating the iPad gives the user a better browsing experience because the web is shown on a larger screen and you can view it from multiple mobile angles (sitting, standing, laying down, etc).
That's all true.
But, what if half the sites I visit can't be viewed on the iPad? What happens when I only see partial content on CNET.com, CNN, Washington Post, and lets not forget Hulu.com which will render nothing?
How does the iPad give the user a better browsing experience if that user is limited to what sites he/she can visit? Please explain.
so please explain the Newton and Apple TV, if Steve "wouldn't put time and money...".
well, then the sites that you visit need to catch up with technology and start using the HTML5 standard as it is proven to be better than flash!
PS. Please explain.
A lot of the people this device is aimed at probably don't even know they are using Flash because they just clicked on something that said it needed to be installed years ago on whatever old/shared machine they currently use. Boy are they going to be disappointed when they get the iPad home if their favourite websites still use it.
