[RU482]

wow, engadget is getting pounded

 

[herkulease]

Dude it has drop down menus. greatest thing ever.

 

[Fizzorin]

"Apple created the market for drop-down menus"

 

[DisgruntledVirus]

Yeah, that made me go: :\

So far, I've seen no evidence of multitasking, which is unacceptable.

Engadget specifically stated there was none in their updates earlier (maybe 10:15ish?)

The price will be 599, 699 and 799 depending on size and memory in apple tablet.

And down goes their stock...

 

[So]

Can you imagine typing a REPORT on that thing? That sounds like one of those never ending punishments handed down from the greek gods!

 

[BoberFett]

One of the negatives they put for netbooks is "PC Software".

Distorted indeed.

Haha, you noticed that too? Last time I checked, that's a plus.

If you cannot write on it with a pen, then it's useless for taking notes in class. If Microsoft was smart they'd encourage their partners to come out with a version of their tablet that does this. Also, Apple stole the iPad name from Fujitsu.

well, i didn't think people would buy ipod or iphone.... i guess this thing will sell anyway. however, i'd like to see the price. if it's 2k... no way ....

No 3g, Wifi only, 9.7 in, no kickstand. Runs iPhone games.

Who said no 3G?

 

[FM2n]

Built in GPS? Take it geocaching!

 

[Fizzorin]

'"Isn't it great?" Some slight hesitation.'

 

[Epic Fail]

You have to pay extra for the iWork?

 

[So]

Who said no 3G?

Apparently it has 3G, for $30 a month (same as iPhone 3g, IIRC) -- meh.

edit: HOW IS THAT A BREAKTHROUGH DEAL!?!?

Edit- Ah, it seems that more info has been released on 3G

 

[Crusty]

Only certain models will have the 3g radio from what I read.

 

[BrownShoes]

I want an iToilet.

 

[herkulease]

its so pathetic of Apple that free use of ATT hotspots is a bullet point.

 

[herkulease]

starts at 499. 16gb model I guess.

 

[speg]

Starting at $499! Not bad...

Steve is standing in front of a smoke effect screen, it's a DEAL!!!

 

[TwiceOver]

Ugh. Still not what people are looking for in a Slate. But it'll get bought up like crazy because it looks cool.

 

[nace186]

Why is 3g version cost so much?

 

[GodlessAstronomer]

starts at 499. 16gb model I guess.

Please tell me you missed a 0 on that. 16gb in a device that size? That can't be right.
