That's cool! Finally I've been waiting for one but I bet you it will cost a fortune like you entire fish tank lol

GTR · 01/27/2010, 12:57 PM

At least it has a screen big enough to see.

euphoricgear · 01/27/2010, 01:02 PM

hope its cheap like a netbook or atleast less than $800 :-)

savethereef · 01/27/2010, 01:25 PM

its $900

Sinful Aquatics · 01/27/2010, 01:26 PM

If that's the price I'm all in!!!

So what is the point of this if you already have an iphone and a laptop or desktop?

slick6669 · 01/27/2010, 02:10 PM

I think it's a jumbo iPhone lol it's nice don't get me wrong but idk it's a stretched iPhone and prices aren't bad but basic wifi or 3g where's the 4g haha

Theres a cute little apple on them! lol...

HenryTran · 01/27/2010, 02:39 PM

waste of money imo.

Lurking · 01/27/2010, 02:40 PM

Its just a giant iphone....

slapshot · 01/27/2010, 02:43 PM

I cant see the advantage? I thought it was suppose to be as powerful as a laptop. Seems like an oversized Iphone.

gcarroll · 01/27/2010, 02:52 PM

ATT is the 3G coverage.
$14.99 for 250MB/month
$29.99 for unlimited access
Best part is that the plan is prepaid w/ no contract!

It appears that Apple is going to market this hard toward schools especially as a text book replacement device. Imagine kids going to school with nothing but their iPad and lunch. The can do their homework on it and upload it to the teacher when they get to school, surf the net, play games, digital text books, ect... If you own any stock in Barnes and Noble......better consider selling because the will soon be out of hear like the 8 track!

It's also unlocked.

True but with the 3G deal that ATT is offering, makes it pretty unbeatable.

The only thing that would have been better was if they would allow you to piggyback off of your exhisting 3G service on you iPhone. The ability was added to the iPhone software some time ago, however AT&T is not yet allowing. Maybe in the future though. Who knows?

firereef · 01/27/2010, 03:17 PM

I gotta go check this thing out today. I wanna see what the hype is all about.

savethereef · 01/27/2010, 03:20 PM

I think it'll be a long time before that'll happen.

Ok. Thx. Just needed an excuse to go to the apple store. My gf hates when I go there. Lol

djorijun · 01/27/2010, 03:54 PM

AMAZING!!! another damn reason for this Apple trend to keep growing. This thing is useless, it does the same exact thing as an iphone only with a bigger screen. It still can't multi task so *** is the point. On to the next...

cocoaandme · 01/27/2010, 04:18 PM

iPad. Sounds like Apple made a fancy new sanitary napkin for menstrual flow.

cocoaandme · 01/27/2010, 04:19 PM

Their next innovation... iBag. I think you know what that will be used for...
