same here!
Mine ipad is on its way back to Apple shelves. I would rather wait for Apple products to work with better carriers with more coverage before I go back to store.
Yeah! Why do people love iJunk?
I don't know about the service but the overall design of the iPhone/iPod touch is quite well received so is it that bad that it looks like a giant iPod?
It's the fact that with such a large screen and casing you could have fit in more functionality ... making it a large iPhone instead of a large iPod Touch would have been a better pitch to the masses. Furthermore, the way they promoted it, I don't see how it's "magically" beyond netbooks.
I just want it Because it has such a larger screen than the Itouch. It would be fun to play games on
I do not think Steve Jobs thought this one through.
I dont see why they made it a giant itouch instead of going for at least tablet pc quality. they really only made this just to get money from the gullible apple fanboys.
Apple thinks, that there is a market for an iPad. I'm not so sure.
But if there is, I CAN'T wait and se what Google is up to :-)
Its the ipod touch that doesn't fit in your pocket..brilliant.
I don't see why we need or want the ipad... just another product apple trying to rob the people money... iphone was great but ipad i don't know.....
I think this could be Apples first fail. Its all good though. They need to experience failure so they might change the direction that their company is going. Hopefully open source like android. Android, i think, is better because it is open source.
redsox21- this would definitely NOT be Apple's first fail. apple has created many failed products, mostly in the 90's. in fact the 90's was pretty much a decade of failure for apple, so they've definitely experienced failure. apple really got successful in the mid to late 2000's.

not worth the price !!!
IMO, this product was a total bust. I can see myself using this as much as I use my laptop. This isn't my kind of product. I'll stick with purchasing a MacBook Pro. :D
It's not a computer, it's not going to sell, at least, not until they make some changes. I think if they added a bluetooth headset built in that can be disconnected, added texting, and other things, it would be a netbook/phone, but this just doesn't fit a lot of needs...
Actually, it does complete a lot of needs. How many people here have an iPhone/iPod Touch and use apps to simplify many things you do now? They are like shortcuts through the internet or like mini programs. I love apps and I think this will be another option to using them with a bigger screen.
i can see the justice in spending sooo munch for something i have already in my ipod , yeah it big , but if i want to see it larger i email it to myself and see it on my laptop when i get home
IT"S HUGE!!! dang what was MR Jobs thinking and the name, lol Mad TV had an IPAD spoof add. Their site states "the ultimate in portability" that's a load more like the opposite of portability. They should re-invent the Iphone, and not just make it bigger and more expensive. who in their right mind would buy this??
No matter what,I really wanted to have an iPad.I’m an on-the-go person and I bet that this one is just an all-in-on gadget which makes all I need from internet and very little application that I may need is in there so what more can I ask for.I even search for this gadget at eBay and also tried Beezid--a new auction site.
could be but it's amazzing in my opinion. I can't wait to have this soon. Seeing videos of it on youtube and I'm amazed. The watching movie part seems the best.
its prob gonna end up getting more features that you have to pay for, just like how the ipod touch. i think everyone above is right, if it had more tablet-like functionality then it would be more worth it, and at&t needs to give up that contract soon, i have verizon and i would love a verizon iphone!
Limited uses for what it costs. Looks pretty but fails to impress me. I so wanted to want it. But nahh
I've read all the comments above and I do agree in part with almost everyone. I give it to Apple to go out on the limb here... Other than the dedicated Apple fans, I just don't see how this is going to stack up against the rest of the competition with a price point so high. On the other hand, I'm interested to see the UI advancements they've been touting over there in Cupertino. The good thing is whether win, lose, or draw; we will all benefit from gains this device will bring.
i pad might be a great success as iPhone...120000 people have already booked ipad..till now...
people wil be considering ipad as a multi touch netbook...
Why do I need big iPod, if I can look everything I need in my small laptop, which basicly is more than great if we are talking about the functionality and capacity.
I can't see myself using this iPad, but ofcourse it's only my opinion.
Totally agree guys.... why not give it telephony capabilities? then surely it can be one hell of a giant iphone :) hehehe
It is what it is, and those who want it will get it. If you don't like it, don't buy it. Apple isn't at an all time high in stock price because they keep producing fails. Granted, not all their stuff is a win (eg Apple TV), but most are successes.
Why would anyone want an over-sized Touch? Typing on it will have to be an art form. I say Apple has got a losr here.
i'm not sure this is such a loser product. i can definitely consumers being interested in it not as an over-sized iPod touch, but a bigger, prettier, buzzier Kindle in full color.
Well, being using it for a while now - being just bigger makes all the difference...
its a lot more than just a big ipod.. see it to believe it.
it gives amazing flexibility in using,
yes its a mini computer !!
I am wondering how an ipod touch would have been expensive had the ipad been released first. I think it's a mirage!!
It's interesting to find out that competitiors will start manufacturing similar products...very soon the ipad wouldn't look so bad :)
It's just a big MEH to me. Let me know once you have full multitasking & a true open approach to development & a marketplace.
I actually find this one just a little too... useless for me. no multitasking is already a deal breaker. no usb port? no wifi? thanks, but no thanks.
It's an iPhone for the people suffering gigantism , ;)
It doesn't answer the question
" Can I wear your iPAD ?"
i dont like it. you need an active wifi conection or at least a good 3g network to use it. i have an iphone it does not have good reception in my area, then how will this have good reception in my area. and we cannot link apple ipad to more than one computer. which means you need to carry around a laptop along with the ipad to use it well.
wow!!! nice product from apple again..can anyone tell me its price. I will buy it surely
web browsing minus flash has got to be super annoying on like 99.9 percent of websites.
It can be called as a huge ipod touch too. Yeah! But this is kind of a Laptop killer i'd say. That's what apple always do. Come up with new ideas. Now the other laptop and phone companies are gonna start copying this like other phone companies are still trying on the iphone..... :) Awesome work apple!
Apple has proven that they can market anything and sell it well. I, however, will be sitting this one out. I have owned an ipod touch and I love my macbook, but I watched a guy on a plane recently trying to hold up his ipad comfortably while he was trying to watch a movie on it. Seemed rather awkward. He finally propped it up somehow so it stuck up from the seat in front of him, so he had to look up the entire time to watch the movie.
ya apple should have done better adding more features and disk space
waiting for its launch in india.......i am impressed with its features...really nice :)
Agreed. I htink the best thing about the overgrown ipod touch is the new 'Will it Blend' video.
its neither a laptop nor a smart phone! cant really relate to it!!
It's crap on toast, and they're selling like hotcakes in the US wow who in their right mind would want a GIANT ipod touch that is only semi portable and about the size of my wife's netbook, but for 2-3 times the price???
This was a brilliant move by Apple, but how much longer do they expect to keep coming up with crap and telling us that it's the next cheese burger?
First the iPhone, then the iPod touch, and now the iPad, what is next the iGlasses. Specially designed sunglass by Apple, with built in mp3 player and 3D video games that you use right through the glasses. Or is it the iShirt so that other people can touch you and walk around like a giant iPod touch. Hmmmmmm
Hey~ just STOP comparing ipod and ipad - for me they are Completely different! Each device have different potential.
Well, say ipad is a Tablet!
I'm sure that Apple will do some improvement on ipad ~ since they need to rise up the usability to make it in the same line with netbooks..and it is Mac Os 4.
(I just saw one ipad (it just arrived at my country) and i really want it!)
An $800 giant ipod touch pretty much
Think i will stick with my ipod touch and laptop.
We don't need it. It doesn't do anything new. So why do I WANT IT so bad.
I'm impatiently waiting for the 2nd generation ipad. If I have learned anything from apple, it is that the second version of an electronic device is always better than the first.
nothing special
