Of course, it may work well but think about how useful it's going to be on a train, on a bus, walking around etc. If I was holding something that heavy and expensive I'd want to use both hands.Quote:

Based on how much Daniel dislikes the iPhone, and the actual iPhone sales trends, this thing should be a big hit. Stock up early to have them for Christmas sales on Ebay! :)
There already was a ton of competition for the iPad, much of it better spec'd, sitting on warehouse shelves gathering dust becuase nobody wanted it.Quote:

Well, speaking as a Luddite on a lot of stuff ( believe me, I still don't see the point to the Kindle really) I think that for those who worship Apple, they will find ways to justify buying this thing, and guys like Daniel wont touch it. Apple will find new ways over time to improve what it does, and in time, it will be yet another niche for the company that almost went bust as PC's tried to just fill the market.
Personally, I would have a MAC over this HP machine if not for the price that is 2 and a half times more. Apples are better for not screwing up, and seem to work faster, so I am with Dylan on that, but not THAT much better.
This Ipad seems to be just putting lipstick on a pig.....
Sadly you're probably right :) BUt there is a difference, when the iPhone was released EVERYONE already had a phone and all Apple had to do was convince them that the iPhone was better. With this they've got to convince people to buy something totally different.Quote:

Simple as that.
In my case, I know it will get much better in it's next generations and yes, it should be flash capable given that flash rocks and is used by most in the web world.
I can't afford one any way, I don't even own a personal lap top now that my editing facility takes all the toys and I use the big powerful Macs - which by the way, have always been very good to me.
I do have an iPhone though, and I love it.
I am a MAC man, koo koo ka choo

Even some of my Mac zealot friends haven't really found it all that great an idea and that includes the girl I know from school who's a designer, LOVES Mac hardware and is living in San Francisco at the moment.
Well, the only thing I NEED is my health, so that I can work and provide my self with what I want, and no, right now I don't want an iPad and I won't want one unless the upgrades bring it up a couple of notches - and I trust they will.Quote:
