Re: The Apple Tablet
Wow, it actually looks like a really poor piece of kit. That UI better have mind reading capabilities or something.
IMO

Re: The Apple Tablet
I was expecting more to be honest, maybe there was too much hype. This will be mega expensive when it hits our shores, am thinking close to a 1000 euro for a decent one with a 3G contract.

Re: The Apple Tablet
the last time there was this much hype over a tablet, it had commandments written on it.

Re: The Apple Tablet
First, I need to mention that I do hate everything apple makes, i despise them. I think the release of this bigger, mutated version of the ipod touch suffers from the same greed infested strategy that the first iphone had. They included the minimum in order to sell it, once they've sold a shitload, they will release a better version with everything this version lacks... in about 2-3 years.
That being said, I found a nice little article:
8 Things That Suck About the iPad
A lot of people are psyched about the iPad. Not me! My god, am I underwhelmed by it. It has some absolutely backbreaking failures that will make buying one the last thing I would want to do. Updated
Big, Ugly Bezel
Have you seen the bezel on this thing?! It's huge! I know you don't want to accidentally input a command when your thumb is holding it, but come on.
No Multitasking
This is a backbreaker. If this is supposed to be a replacement for netbooks, how can it possibly not have multitasking? Are you saying I can't listen to Pandora while writing a document? I can't have my Twitter app open at the same time as my browser? I can't have AIM open at the same time as my email? Are you kidding me? This alone guarantees that I will not buy this product.
No Cameras
No front facing camera is one thing. But no back facing camera either? Why the hell not? I can't imagine what the downside was for including at least one camera. Could this thing not handle video iChat?
Touch Keyboard
So much for Apple revolutionizing tablet inputs; this is the same big, ugly touchscreen keyboard we've seen on other tablets, and unless you're lying on the couch with your knees propping it up, it'll be awkward to use.
No HDMI Out
Want to watch those nice HD videos you downloaded from iTunes on your TV? Too damned bad! If you were truly loyal, you'd just buy an AppleTV already.
The Name iPad
Get ready for Maxi pad jokes, and lots of 'em!
No Flash
No Flash is annoying but not a dealbreaker on the iPhone and iPod Touch. On something that's supposed to be closer to a netbook or laptop? It will leave huge, gaping holes in websites. I hope you don't care about streaming video! God knows not many casual internet users do. Oh wait, nevermind, they all do.
Adapters, Adapters, Adapters
So much for those smooth lines. If you want to plug anything into this, such as a digital camera, you need all sorts of ugly adapters. You need an adapter for USB for god's sake.
Update: Why stop at 8? Here are more things we are discovering that suck about the iPad.
It's Not Widescreen
Widescreen movies look lousy on this thing thanks to its 4:3 screen, according to Blam, who checked out some of Star Trek on one. It's like owning a 4:3 TV all over again!
Doesn't Support T-Mobile 3G
Sure, it's "unlocked." But it won't work on T-Mobile, and it uses microSIMs that literally no one else uses.
A Closed App Ecosystem
The iPad only runs apps from the App Store. The same App Store that is notorious for banning apps for no real reason, such as Google Voice. Sure, netbooks might not have touchscreens, but you can install whatever software you'd like on them. Want to run a different browser on your iPad? Too bad!I wonder if this new healthcare thing covers my pre-existing condition: AWESOMENESS.Comment

Re: The Apple Tablet
As an alternative, and if you like Android instead of just an enlarged Ipod.... you might consider this. My wife will be getting one to read her journals on as she goes through about a ream of paper per day printing aritcles.

Re: The Apple Tablet
I don't get it ... it's an elarged iPod with ugly proportions and a huge border. I'm watching the keynote now and he's just fiddling around with apps. Which I'm sure you can do on an iPhone.
I was expecting a more interesting user interface ... this is quite an anti-climax.
