I had Compaq Tablet in 2003, and it was useful as a general office gadget (handwriting recognition as well as the standard laptop stuff), and the keyboard detached. I liked it, and kept it for travelling.

Only problem was that it was painfully slow - underpowered for what it was trying to do.

I want one. :drool:

A giant iPod touch

But better :D:D:D

Well I like the look of it. As for people buying it. It's a mac - build it and they will come lol

re: The Apple iPad Thread
 

I'd rather have a touch screen laptop, then at least I have a keyboard to type on

re: The Apple iPad Thread
 

I would love to have a keyboard free, touchscreen Mac - but I don't think that's what this is. I think it may be running the iPod/iPhone OS rather than a version of OSX.

re: The Apple iPad Thread
 

I have heard rumours it does indeed run firmware 4.0 (Which is what I'm hoping they are going to announce).

re: The Apple iPad Thread
 

and what rip off price will this be i wonder !

re: The Apple iPad Thread
 

Who cares - I'll get work to buy me one.... :D

re: The Apple iPad Thread
 

I was totally underwhelmed. It is essentially a giant iPod touch with some extra features thrown in. Not worth it at all.

re: The Apple iPad Thread
 

it does look sweet :) but have to see what the $ price is and what the £ or € is going to be for this device.

for the basic 1 with Wifi and 3g $629.... quite steep if your asking me.
