How do you feel about the apple tablet?

Personally i feel let down by the utter lack of apple enginuity and the sheer obvious effort to cash in on the netbook business. It does everything a netbook does, but only has one button and relies on the touch interface. Its a netbook with an Apple spin.

And let's not forget the the great name iPad <--
What are they thinking? that lacks all forms of creativity and quite frankly i have pads in a box under the bathroom sink and i immediately thought of that when the name was announced. I don't think thats the type of product association they're looking for. (sorry if that was tmi for the boys)

So again I ask... What do you think?

I think I know where the name RED WOMAN comes from now.. ewwwwwwwwww

urm... does it have wings? Heh, sorry, I couldn't resist either.

Not much of a iThis, iThat or iMac person and hands are already full understanding just one blinking OS but isn't it obvious, Apple is riding hard on the success of the iPhone launch (at least that's the case over here in SG). They might just as well named it iNet...

I've got one on order... I'm going to run it over with my SRT8 when I finally get it. I'll report back to you guys and let you know the status on if it works or not after I run it over with both tires.

P.S, before I run it over I will dip it into my pool and then try to turn it on... I'm sure it will still work no problems...

i don't get it, why would they make a tablet. who needs a tablet these days anyways? it'd be one thing if was ultradurable like a toughbook, but it'll probably crack the screen the first time you drop it just like a dang iphone

Feminine products aside, no handwriting recognition? My CF-18 has great HWR and the technology is a fair bit older than that. I can't imagine how many of these are going in the trash from the inevitable drops and bumps. Amazon's Kindle looks a lot tougher than these.

I am sorry, but for me the early Apples were no more then a crippled childproof OS on top of an advanced, for the day, Motorola CPU. The later ones managed to turn Unix into the same, "you can't do that", mess!!!

They build a nice little appliance, but I am more interested in computer that do what I want it to, not tell me what I can and can not do.
