Apple ipad: What's your input?

ctzn

^It's not personal, Apple didn't make this just to offend you. I think we are having a discussion about the pros and cons of this thing but spouting off your disgust doesn't really contribute to your point of view.

Apple tries to come off as a company who makes trendy, innovative products. With this, they have totally failed. So yeah, I am disgusted. What would you prefer I contribute?

"This product is boring, bland, unimaginative"
"This product is totally not Apples style or up to their par of quality"
"This product is marketed for people with 5 or less functioning brain cells"

Steve-o seriously sounded like he was reaching as hard as possible to make it sound innovative, and it ended up being boring as hell. I could actually hear him thinking, "hmm...how long can I simply surf the web for, and show off features that just about every touch screen has, and keep the crowd interested?!"

Something productive that isn't offensive to everyone who doesn't share your extremist views. No one here is claiming perfection with this, but calling it a total failure is a bit of a stretch in my opinion. Insults to not equal constructive or even viable reasoning.

Moving along, I found this article pretty interesting. The best thing to come out of this could be the competition to come from it. Hopefully we will see more and better products from other manufactures to adapt and force Apple to push the bar if they want to stay atop the heap in the "cooler than thou" gadget arena.

Here's my constructive criticism on it: put OS X on it. Voila. Fixed.

I agree and fix that huge ugly bezel...

MightyBobo

The bezel is pretty ridonkulous, too. But, need to hide all the WiFi and other goodies SOMEWHERE, since its so thin already.

Ok, if this happened I would buy it.
It would solve almost any issue with it people have, and still allow Apple to have their control over the device, maybe even more so (jailbreaking community?).

The biggest thing would be customization...theres reasons I like my Droid over the iPhone, by far - and its not JUST the fact that AT&T blows lol.

You are in DC, it blows there.
Here AT&T is fine, but we get zero Android phones (AT&T) until summer so I might be switching. I think with OS X Apple could even have made a slightly modified UI for the iPad to give it more touch function without having to dig into the folders.

My only question though, is OS X fully touch ready? Pinch, zoom, multitouch, etc.
