Re: Apple expected to unveil 'Jesus' tablet today
I read this article on Yahoo about it and some guy was like, "I don't even care what it is, I'll buy it no matter what the price."
We've had the PC versus Apple debate before, but maaaaaaaan, I didn't know it had gotten to that point. Insane.

Re: Apple expected to unveil 'Jesus' tablet today
Yeah that is insane considering it's rumored to be $800 - $1000 right off the bat. I never understood the need to be an early adopter. I'll just wait for the inevitable price drop with the release of the new and improved version in a year.

Whatever this new thing is called looks pretty good, but MAN that is almost as much as one of their laptops.

Re: Apple expected to unveil 'Jesus' tablet today
I don't have any desire to buy this thing any time soon. A big reason Apple charges these prices is because of how maniacal their following has become. People are nuts for Mac. Hell, if you can get away with charging what they do, then why not?
I love my iPhone, but those Apple stores are just stupid. $35 for a plastic case?? $20 for a thin piece of plastic film to cover the screen?? LOL. Gimmie a break.

They should give a complimentary "Jesus tablet" to Colt Brennan.

Re: Apple expected to unveil 'Jesus' tablet today
iPad? Really? Sounds like a tampon. I can't really see what's innovative about this thing. Bill Gates was doing this tablet thing 5 years ago.

Re: Apple expected to unveil 'Jesus' tablet today
It's a giant iPhone basically. Looks cool but I'll wait for the price to come down before I bite.

Re: Apple expected to unveil 'Jesus' tablet today
You can't even call it a giant iPhone because there's no 3G...a giant iPod Touch that is smaller than a Netbook, but too big to shove in your back pocket.
EDIT: Of course, as soon as I post that, more info trickles out... Apple iPad: Everything You Need to Know - apple ipad - Gizmodo

Re: Apple expected to unveil 'Jesus' tablet today
It would definitely be cool for watching movies on a trip, reading magazines, newspapers, etc.
So could you just get the WiFi model and tether it to your iphone? |

Re: Apple expected to unveil 'Jesus' tablet today
I was thinking of getting a kindle... might be tempted to go for an "iPad" (horrible name) instead.
