LOL, surely nobody would take it out the home? If I had one, it'd just sit on the coffee table, for those "I'll just check that" moments.

Oh but they will, until chavs discover them and they start getting nicked
I bet it'll be this week too
Yeah it's around the corner from Queen St Station.
I wanted to justify buying one this morning but I couldn't.

I'm not a techy kind of person, but I do like the Apple products that I have. It took me a hell of a long time to get an iPod, more due to my Creative MP3 player lasting forever than being anti Apple. As I say, I like Apple products, will probably get a MBP when I need a new lap top and will have an iPhone at some point during the year.
But I just don't get the iPad. Maybe I am missing something due to not being a techy sort of person, but I just don't get it. I would rather have a lap top.

How did you sync it with iTunes to get into it before you got home, did you actually take your laptop with you lol?
I've never had a scratch on either my iPod touch or my iPhone in 3 years use so I think they are pretty resistant for people who are carefully with their processions, no screen protectors here either.

It's not a laptop/notebook/netbook rival.
It doesn't have a rival, because nobody wanted tablets the first time round.
If this had an hp badge, or a Dell badge, would you still be buying it?
I'll be using mine for work I reckon, so much smaller and lighter than carrying my laptop to meetings in London etc, will be perfect. Can even do presentations on a projector, could even do a demo over citrix presented on a projector if needed.
This thing can do a lot more than just email and web.

It's not that simple though.
I love it when anti-Apple people get the bit between their teeth.
Enjoy using your clunky plastic boxes.
I've got one instead of a net book as I looked at net books and they were shite, this does everything I need from a net book, and more without the cheap shitty case, didn't want a keyboard either, keypad on the iPad is very good with the screen size you can type so quickly, probably quicker than a net book as it corrects anything you get slightly wrong on the way.
Personally, I'd say it's better than a net book by a long way, some of the apps are great, the iBooks, newspapers, interactive magazines etc. Plus it's smaller and much thinner than a net book, what extra could a net book possibly give me?

It IS that simple, and your closing sentence proves it
Your Apple rubbish is made from the same plastic as everything else, it's just got bevelled edges and an extra 30 coats of lacquer

I know - that's kind of my point. It wouldn't replace anything, so seems like a hell of a lot of money for something that wouldn't take away the need for something else.
I just don't get why someone would want it - other than 'just because' it's an Apple product.
As I say, I'm not anti-Apple, I just don't get the iPad.
iwipe my s**t with £50 notes, next.

I'll have one and stick it in the lounge for sofa browsing, when my MBP is too bulky.
I can't wait to use one.

Clutching at straws much?
They don't smash. LOL.
Apple materials are second-to-none. Use a MBP after a PC laptop. LOL @ the creaky box of sh*t.

i'd say it does replace a netbook though.
i have a 17" laptop, ipad and iphone.
ones for downloading p**n and big stuff, the other is for browsing the web, reading magazines and newspapers and answering email infront of the tv or for business meetings (its a great video player too for the plane etc, finally found a use for those digital copies they give you on bluray discs) and then the iphone for telephone and out and about connectivity.
the ipad fills the gap perfectly as i don't want a 17" laptop on my lap in the lounge, its fecking heavy and gets hot and the iphone is too small for lengthy browsing or vids when in my own home.
for me at least ipad fits perfectly, definitely a netbook replacement and so much better imo, netbook would give me nothing more.

Worst troll ever tbh, if he had money he'd have one.
Still made in a factory in China, just like all the other gadgets

This one to be exact
They aren't handcrafted on the thighs of virgins
I have plenty of moneys Tom, I just prefer to spend it on useful things, like Vietnamese hookers, chrome spinners and Ikea wardrobes

Different point entirely. LOL.
I don't think Apple have the world monopoly on using quality materials in their electronics

Well unless you think 99% of people haven't used an iPhone you're talking crap.

Jealousy doesn't come into it
I'm not jealous of people driving a Prius, for example (Yes, I've driven a Prius)
I'd like to point out Magic is a berk, though
No they activated it in store lol I'm not that sad
They were really helpful and were focused on delivering an 'experience' in the apple store.
Back on my way to the trafford centre with parry123 from this forum to get one now. He seen mine and had to have it
I think that's what's special about this product, on paper It could be seen as pointless "a big iPod touch" but I really believe you have to get one in your hands to understand how special it is.No they activated it in store lol I'm not that sad
