iPad!
Alex C:
I have to agree with Jhocking, it really loses a lot in the embiggening process. If someone had told me that picture Tommy posted was just some shopped joke, I would have believed them because it just seems silly blown up that big.

I think what people are forgetting is that this is meant to be a replacement for netbooks who are geared for people who use a computer to browse the internet, maybe listen to music, and that's it.
The iPad does that perfectly. It's what casual computer users would use. People who don't want to perform CPU intensive tasks, etc. I don't think people who frequent this forum are necessarily target users.
The fact that it doesn't have flash is a good thing in my opinion. Apple is driving websites to start using HTML 5 and CSS which support imbedded video.
Reed:
See, my problem with using this as a netbook replacement is the keyboard. I have an iPhone and I love the keyboard for it, but I guess I really can't see it scaling up well and being suitable for typing up documents/taking notes in class or meetings/etc.
Ozymandias:
Weird you say that because the best touchscreen keyboard is easily Swype which is only available for Windows Mobile and, soon, Android.
My dad hacked it onto his Droid and it is the bee's fucking knees.

I loved that bejeweled pic. On long rainy days that game is like crack to me.
People are saying it's huge, but that's really only if you compare it t the iPhone or the touch. In that regard, yeah it's massive. But taking it for what it is, it seems to be on par with other tablets. Now I don't really use tablets that much but I could see this thing coming in handy, mainly for some businesslike applications. Like if I was canvasing for any reason, this thing would be a dream. I'm not usually a fan of touch keyboards, but I'll admit I LIKE the iPhone keyboard. And I can see it being even easier to use on this monster.
Overall I think it's a pretty cool device, I'll have to hit an Apple Store to try it out, but I don't see a need to own one right now.
