let me sum it up for you, large ipod touch that cost $499 - $899.

the little apple fags are fapping themselves to sleep tonight thinking about it though. it's so sad.

Surprising it's not in the $1000+ range though, given Apple's overabundance of excessively priced shit.

I tend to be a avid apple owner for things such as itouch or ipods, but this this is god damn retarded. Seriously if it was meaning to be as a drawing applet, they are a little late considering there's great brands for cheaper, but the fact that its just a large itouch as said, is for faggots.

even for drawing this is usls because its capacitive touch. that means you use your finger or a capacitive stylus, but it doesnt have pressure sensitivity. that's the main reason every other tablet on the market is resistive touch. cant use your finger but its amazing for writing and drawing. i have an old Motion Computing tablet that my boss was going to toss out and i use that thing to take notes in my classes. it's badass. has all the bonuses of paper(drawing graphs and other shit that you cant type) and the computer(one thing to carry, email, printing, facebook, forums, prons) with neither of the drawbacks. it's pretty usls in any other setting though. cbf tapping things out for too long on an on screen keyboard or having the software try to decipher my shitty handwriting.

LOL yeah, a mactard buddy of mine (who I am generally good friends with, actually) is HUGE on it. "If by 'pile of shit' you mean 'the redefining of personal computing', then yes, yes it is" LOL. Got him in such angrz earlier.

I think it's okay. I don't see me having an use for it. At least with the iPhone...I NEEDED a phone. I don't need a tablet thing.

Pretty sure the whole reason for this was to compete with amazon's kindle and bookstore. You cant multitask on the iPad or really do much of anything other than read shit. CBF the kindle even but when you compare the price of each I see no reason to get this fucking iPad. Plus its huge, heavy, and looks dumb as shit.

They should release an upgraded version of the iPad and call it the Max iPad.
