iSlate/iPad

[migs]

You've got your name down for one then an all?

Ha! I forgot about you :whistle:

 

You know I love Apple stuff, but you also know I won't pay the prices they want. So, whilst I may be a fuckin cunt, I'm not a stupid fuckin cunt.

 

World of difference.

Oooh, get you

 

Bitch

If it edged closer to a mac book it would have been great but it's just a bigger Ipod Touch (with 3g) so whats the point?

[Malarkey]

Apple are the masters of 3 things...

 

1. Making great stuff that everybody will want

2. Leaking just enough of the right info to have lots of people, who should know better, wanking like Bonobos

3. Charging stupid fucking prices that stupid fucking cunts will happily pay.

 

Stupid cunt with a student discount, though.

 

;)

This thread was right, it's called the iPad and yes it's just a bigger version of an iPod Touch.

Apples shares have dropped following the announcement.

 

Surely they've dropped a bollock by not making it a macbook/touch hybrid.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

Doesn't do much for me, to be honest.

[odris]

If it has an OS like Leopard on it would have been amazing.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

Yeah, it needs to be much more than a large screen version of the iphone.

 

[Malarkey]

*Chants*

 

Macbook, Macbook, Macbook.

[odris]

iBooks looks decent but not worth the price tag (whatever it is, my guess is $600 upwards)

[Cardie]

Ok I was wrong, it doesn't have 3g just wifi.

[Anubis]

Spot on. That's what it needed.

[Antynwa]

Ok I was wrong, it doesn't have 3g just wifi.

 

Wrong again, it has both!

 

They are unlocked as well

 

So $499 for 16GB of iPad. That's our base model. 32GB is $599, 64GB is $799. 3G models cost an extra $130. $629, 729, and 829 with 3G."

 

UK Prices?

[odris]

If you want to know the UK prices my guess is just replace the $ with a £ sign.

Change the $ for £s and they're likely to be similar. I've noticed Apple don't seem to take much account of the exchange rate. That's probably because they don't sell anywhere near the volume they do in the US.

 

I'm still very disappointed in this. It's just a giant iPod touch. Poor, Apple, poor. An oppertunity missed.

Shame.

 

Might be able to get student discount on it.

 

Just looks like a massive fucking iPhone with a beefed up OS. Might give it a miss first time around, and see what they do next time.

 

Looks good though, and if they price it right I may get one first time around. I already have an iPhone and a Macbook Pro so as you can gather I do love my gadgets.

 

Bah, does look alright.

[odris]

The keyboard accessory makes it looks like a Macbook Pro.

 

I was thinking whether you would get student discount but i can't see it happening to be honest.

[sh#t waffle]

Although always loath to write off new Apple products, as they get it right pretty often, at first glance it seems pretty uninspiring. It's enough money that, if you already have an iPhone, laptop and desktop, I would question what makes it anything approaching a must have gadget.

I was obviously talking about the 499 version....!!

I'm looking at my iPhone and my Laptop thinking.

 

'Do I REALLY want something in between?

The answer's no, the iPad is shit.

[Antynwa]

The answer's no, the iPad is shit.

 

BUT IT HAS TOUCH SCREEN

 

OH MY FUCKING GOD
