iPad!
Chesire Cat:
What the fuck are you going to do with an iPad without a computer? Lets be real here, this isnt a computer replacement, even for idiots that still channel surf instead of using the 'guide' on the cable box.
If they dont get computers, they arent getting an iPad. And frankly do you expect to download all the media you use on the iPad through a 3G connection? Wouldnt typing in a password for wi-fi qualify as that nerdy bullshit they are trying to avoid?
Anyway, Im with Johnny on this, you guys missed the mark

Actually I completely forgot to toss in my intended last sentence for that post which was "but either way it doesn't multitask which is unforgivable no matter what" which obviously throws a bit of light on my actually feelings i.e; I can totally understand what they're going for with the device but it's not like I think they did a good job at it.

I think you're ignoring the significant minority of early adopters for whom the iPad will fill the same purpose that Roxxxy will for extremely wealthy agoraphobic sociopaths. Yes, I am saying that their use of their iPads will involve jism.

So do Windows machines.
Ain't no one has ever had to endlessly reconfigure a Windows machine unless they wanted to. The key here being that if they wanted to, they could.

For example, I've been running Windows 7 for uh, about 6 months now I think with no changes other than the wallpaper and I'm a tech dude. I'm not really overly fussed about configuring and tweaking anymore at the moment, but if at some point in the future I do become interested again I know that I'll be able to relatively easily. It's nice to have the option, even if I don't choose to use it. Incidentally, this is one of the arguments I'm kicking around for getting a new McBook Pro when they refresh soon - ie: I'll be able to dual-boot OSX and Windows 7, allowing me to use OSX if I choose to. More choices, woo. Just depends how The new MacBook Pros stack up against a comparable form-factor Asus Green series laptop, which I already know will be running some level of i5 processor and an nVidia 310. & getting ~12 hrs battery life.
Also, looks like a lot of people are having the same kind of doubts about the iPad as some of us here: http://www.tgdaily.com/mobility-features/48340-consumers-snub-apple-ipad-in-new-poll
