It's sunny and 51 in SF. And hundreds of people are sitting in an auditorium applauding spread-sheet functionality. You *are* a gadget.

Well, it's not sunny, but yes that is funny.

what? if julian agrees with something seth says, i'll start believing in a forumpocalypse

OK, I guess if I'm being realistic, I'm never going to buy another device that ties me to iTunes.  But for a split second I did think about it.

I do like that it will drive the market down and an Android or Win device will have to be a couple hundred dollars less to compete with Apple's branding and marketing.  And any non-Apple device will have so much more flexibility that I will have one soon (like a card reader or USB port for crying out loud!).  Too bad I just got a Kindle and bought my Nettop (Zotac MAGHD for those that care) so I'm sure Smackette won't let me buy anything before my birthday.

wait, does this have a flash player on it

[vansmack]

Not a good sign for Apple....

Says Smackette, who's usually a good judge of the feelings of the general public:

"Looks ri-tard to me. Just an awkwardly large ipod!"

[vansmack]

wait, does this have a flash player on it

haha.  Come on.  Be realistic...

The answer is no.

i'm out

They refused to port it to their phone OS when it had the x86 chip, can you imagine difficult this will be for their new A4 chip?

I say it's even less likely to happen for the iPad than it is for the iPhone.

Oh don 't be stupid, I agree with him on easily 95% of things. If there's anyone on here who's close to practicing the Julian's America gospel, it's Seth.

Oh, and I would openly mock anyone I saw using this retarded piece of techno-crap.

you of all people taking an obvious exaggeration seriously disappoints me

If there's anything I'm known for on here, it's taking obvious exaggeration seriously.

They should also announce if it multitasks or not...

Engadget says no multitasking...

OS 4.0 is rumored to do multitasking.

[vansmack]

OS 4.0 is rumored to do multitasking.

Is that from the same rumor that said OS 4.0 was coming out today?  j/k

It's a 1ghz processor so there's no reason not to multitask, other than Jobs saying that it isn't necessary to multitask.  Of course, he also said people don't read any more, then released a device with eReader capabilities and an iBookstore...I guess that's code for we can't do it (or didn't do it first) so it's not important, but as soon as we can, it will be the newest innovation.

Is the iPad being touted as a tablet computer by Apple?  because I thought tablet computing generally involved using a stylus.  Now a tablet MacBook could be an interesting but still expensive  product
