ipad anyone?
Blanka:
Sorry, but I just made a second new topic for it under "monitors".

10 inch 4:3 IPS is the most amazing aspect of the iPad in my opinion for arcade lovers.

My thought too, but if you noticed, Phil Schiller told us that this is not the best financial tactic. If they sell a crippled iPad first, then add a webcam in the summer, and multitasking in the winter, they make much more profit. Sounds reasonable.

Actually it sounds insane, but perfectly in line with the insane world in which we live. :)

A consumer does not stand in a store looking at products and think "gee, what does 16gb in hardware actually cost?", what they look at is "for only $100 more, I can DOUBLE the memory".
That's how you make a buck. Just like selling a penny's worth of extra cola for 0.25c by upgrading your already over-priced drink to a bigger size at the movie theatre.

I'm rather torn on this product. The iPad has been way over-hyped. That goes without saying. But I must say my iTouch is one of my favorite possessions. The touch interface really is amazing. I can surf the web and answer email with one hand. No way can I do that effectively on my Windows Mobile Phone. I'm not sure if that experience will transfer well to the slightly larger form factor. I've read a couple of eBooks using the iTouch and it makes the Kindle seem silly.
This official Apple video is interesting. Seeing the product in action was more impressive that reading about it. I watched this with my kids tonight and all three were very excited. At the same time we were all creeped out by the hyperbole and over-the-top statements. You'd think they invented the first computer. Check out Scott Forstall's eyes. My kids were freaked-out by him. He is seriously drinking the Kool-aid.
