Act surprised!
Also MSRP of $999 and your first born child makes it a great gift! Don't forget the $500 a month monthly 3G data plan contract by your ever loving AT&T!
Suddenly, graphic designers around the world splooge at the opportunity to spend a small fortune on an Apple product.

I think PS3 Slim was a worse kept secret, at least there was some uncertainty about the name of that mushroomed iPod Touch.
And I'm sure Apple fanatics world round will gladly shit out the pricetag for a useless piece of shiny tech.
iPad? Now people in Chicago, Boston, Wisconsin are going to get mixed up gifts because they already pronounce iPod like "iPaaad".
Yep. Its a tablet. I have never had a pleasant experience with a Tablet PC so I doubt I would ever get one of these. I will just stick with my laptop thank you.
"The built-in 3G connection means that you can pull down your games and apps anywhere."
Is there still a 10MB limit on downloads over 3G?

Meh, is an over-sized iphone really worth all the hubbub? And for games if it can do the stuff I already have on my iPhone... why not just save me the strain of trying to use it on that thing and use my pocket device?
I love technology but i just never liked Apple products. iPods are rip offs, Macs don't appeal to me, and this to me just looks like an oversized iPod...
Oh, and touch games don't appeal to me in the least. They're crap from what i have found on my Android phone
Fuck that, Give me a Samsung N130 and I'm happy.
Note book gaming for me is classics that run fine on that hardware, Do not need.

It's nice but I can't help feeling it's just gonna end up as the next macbook air, kind of neat but ultimately pointless.
Was kind of hoping this would be a tablet, not an iPhone. iPhone doesn't interest me, a bigger one isn't my bag either. Now if they made a tablet and got Sketchbook Pro up on that bitch, yes. As stands, I guess this yet another time I'm staying out of the Apple Cult...

You know the editor gave you a link so that thick fucks wouldn't clutter up comments with a huge string of images, right? Right? Guess not... thanks.

I have an iPhone and I'd never buy this. I'd much rather own a tablet PC or a Cintiq. Why?
Why would I shell out the money for a tablet PC that has no stylus input and can't be used for graphical applications? I think Apple totally dropped the ball on this one.
If I could use Photoshop, Maya and ZBrush on this baby I'd be ALL over it. As it stands, it's just a beefier iPhone. No thanks.

sorry couldn't resist. Im sure dtoid is going to remove my images either way, but as soon as I saw the gaming images I couldnt wait to share. Sorry to everyone!

.no flash support??? So yeah basically a big ass iphone. The lack of Flash on the iPhone is why the App Store is so successful. App developers aren't forced to compete with free Flash content. That means App developers make more money, which attracts more developers.
They may have reached for gamers, but they ended up grabbing a fistful of fail instead. This thing is weak. If I ever get something in a "slate" form factor, it'll have to do better than iPhone games and no Flash support. I wonder if nVidia's Tegra 2 platform will be able to do anything worth-while or if it's full of as much fail as this is...
I have a laptop and a Wacom Tablet, so no thank you. Besides, why buy this if it's just going to make the screen bigger for games? Seems like a waste to me.
Was kinda hoping that it'd be more like an actual tablet, albeit with more features... guess not.
pass.
pass.
Oh did I forget to mention that this thing will probibly have a 1 hour battery life.
I mean seriously, they are using an IPS display on the bastard.
Those are basically exactly like LCD displays, except the crystals used in a certain way that gives slightly better color when viewing at angles. The problem is that it consumes much more power as it requires a much stronger backlight. The iPhone already has a battery life issue and it's screen is much smaller and a standard LCD to my knowledge.

Wow that is ugly and disappointing. It looks like an iphone and a macbooks mutant retard baby and it has the worst UI they could I had imagined. Yes I know it's the same as the iphone but that's a phone where you have a small screen and need to make it as simple and easy as possible. The have a ton of screen space at their disposal and the make it look like the iphone's predecessor. This takes minimalist to such an extreme that it looks bland and boring. I love how the Google Nexis One has the same processer speed as this thing and it's a fucking phone. As far as I'm concerned this is a waste of time and money.
Doesn't look horrible; one might be useful to write on. Since I do a lot of writing (I am an author, after all), this thing could be useful to haul around.
Don't dig the price point, but with most apple products, it's the year AFTER they announce the thing that the price gets reasonable. I won't be buying one now, though.
And, yes, I am a Mac fan (and I own an Xbox...LOL WUT?!). They make good computers if you don't really want to game with them, and if you do you can always use boot camp.

Being an Apple fan you would note that the price doesn't really change only the features you are given for the same price. IE 32GB iTouch for the same price as last years 16GB.
