Apple Announces the iPad

Posted by WadeFulp - January 27th, 2010


Who is going to buy an Apple iPad? It appears there will be a variety of iPad's to choose from. The base model with 16GB of storage and Wifi will be $499.99. If you want 3G capability it will be an extra $129.99 and a monthly service fee of $14.99 for 250GB of data, or $29.99 for unlimited data. You can sign up for the 3G service and cancel it at any time.

If you want more storage it will cost more.

For a device like this I would think the 3G would be a must, unless you will always be around Wifi when you use it. It sounds like it maybe summer time before the 3G version is available.

Looks good, what would you use it for though?

seems pretty cool to me to be honest

itouch all the way man

Looked it up online...

WHY!?!?!

It's just a labtop without the keyboard.

If the iPod was Back to the Future (Time traveling Delorean awesomeness), and the iPhone was Back to the Future II (Time traveling Delorean awesomeness THAT CAN FLY, with kickass hoverboards from the future), I think the iPad will be like Back to the Future III (The bullshit wild west, broken Delorean, and a fucking train.)

Just watch. Sequels in three's rarely do so hot.

...I tried linking to the Cracked article I totally got that from, but they seem to have deleted it.

Regardless, I totally agree with their comparison....Great Scott.

man i do i love ipod stuff but what the heck is this new ipad.

Those prices aren't worth it.

It's just way too expensive. The apps are cool and it's a slick device, but I think it's skip-able.

Well guys, think of it this way. It could be like a Wacom Tablet. It'll be a whole hell of a lot better for aspiring computer artists. I would buy it if I had the cash, but unfortunatelly, I don't.

This doesn't have anything to do with menstrual cycles, does it?

It sounds like a kindle and an ipod touch put together.

It doesn't even support Flash and you can't multitask on it... such a shame.

I'm incredibly disappointed in it.

Sweet. With the new iPad, I can have the worst of both worlds. It has less interactive usability than my smartphone, but it's too big to put in my pocket like a laptop.

But seriously. It doesn't support Flash (but it's a breakthrough web experience, they say!), multitasking, and is probably the only portable device of that size I've ever seen within the past five years that doesn't have a camera. It runs some stupid variant of the iPhone OS too ,

With that said, I can imagine some really cool and useful applications for this, but I think it's truly a niche product. There seems to be some general consensus that people running around in the medical field would love this. Whatever.

you know
there are alot of hype about this iPad thingy
though
on a poll on g4tv.com
70% actually said they will not buy this thing

wow
i'm saying this even if nobody cares
i really need a life right now

I may get a 64GB non-3G model.
It sure does look good but as usual, lacking features in the UK.

The Kindle and Nook are still better, I don't care what capabilities the ipad has.

never in my life would i waste money on something as useless as that for a person that has no use for it

iUseless.
