Re: Apple media event - 1/27

iPad? That name sounds kinda lame since it's so similar to iPod, i dunno

Calling it the iPad. Not really feeling the name.

LMAO, it almost looks like a joke. It's a giant iPod Touch.

Seriously...it's kinda like if the Onion did some parody of the iPod touch lol

Even if they do announce the iPhone for VZW I doubt I'll get one for a few years. I've had my Droid for 2 months and am extremely happy with it.

If by some miracle it actually goes to Verizon, I will drop my enV Touch in an instant.

Exactly what I thought. An Ipod Touch on steroids.

I can't stop laughing of it in Jobs' hands. Hilarious. People around me are laughing at the picture of it as well.

Yup. An over-sized iPhone, just as expected. No interest.

Re: Apple media event - 1/27

I like my iPod touch, but I'm not gonna drop 1k on a tablet that's not as good as a laptop. I have my laptop set up next to my couch on a nice ikea laptop stand and it's working just fine for my general computer needs. If I'm home, I don't want to sit watching movies on a smaller screen...

I usually just used my iPod touch as an iPod, when traveling to watch movies, and surf the net with wifi when away from home. Now I just surf the net on the Droid when away from home...

I just honestly don't know what the tablet really offers for the general consumer. I'm very interested to see exactly what Apple offers and how they push it, but IMO they have a uphill battle on their hands. Your average person isn't gonna say "damn, I want one"...yeah, the early adopters will be all over it, but does Sally Websurfer really need a tablet?

mgo, you hit it directly on the head on that one. Exactly my viewpoint.

I guess that remains to be seen

Im waiting....

Re: Apple media event - 1/27

Ouch, no full flash support (NY Times page has the missing plugin icon)....
That could kill it for a lot, who wants to primary web surf without flash?
