"up to" 10 hour battery life.
That bezel makes it look fugly. I can only imagine then needed interior space for tech other wise why the yuck design.

so it's basically a bigass iphone? i dunno, i would've loved an ipod-sized pocket pc thing (where i can install fucking everything, not just stupid apple shite)
It's a iPod Touch XL/LL. Add to the touch the ability to use 3g to download, no phone calls.
I think I would rather spend $300 and get a macbook. The size is nice on the iMaxi.

I want this, adobe will probably give it a new photoshop app, there was a little mini photoshop app for the ipod touch and iphone, but it was so gimped it was useless, not to mention all the drawing programs. but mostly, what appeals to me about this thing is the fact it has a big screen, good for tv shows and videos, which is what I use my ipod touch for a lot, except I'll actually be able to watch things with multiple people
also the book thing is brilliant

So... it's a bigass iPhone without the Phone, nor the portablity?
Excuse me while I go and cry about the fact people actually buy this overpriced stuff.

Big load of "Meh". What about this is supposed to impress us?
Too big to be portable without a bag or briefcase, too small to be good on a desk.
This is nothing.

Why do I have this sinking feeling that by the time the iPad has matured,people over here who keep on saying that it is full of crap and so on and so forth will hypocritically praise it like its Jesus?I seriously don't know.I mean,look at the PSPGo.Songs and praises at first(that's how I saw it,if my memory serves me right.),and when its released,is brought down faster than the Spanish Inquisition on pagans.
Just saying what I think of it.Not a fan,nor a hater.Speak only when it has shown its true colours,not before that.

Let the hating commence. Geesh.
Not sure if I would ever use it merely because I have an iPhone and a Macbook and something in the middle doesn't make much sense, but it sure is a cool little device.

Oh gods, I prefer MAC before anything spelled Windows, tho I own an xbox 360, that is to say I am not a berserking Apple fanboy, I just like my computers to last longer than 6 months (laptops that is). But I really can't see what I would do with this thing, and the LAST thing I would buy this thing for would be gaming! Who the fuck whats to play games on this? and reading books on a screen will never replace a good old pocket book, it just ain't as nice, and when it costs you a fortune it's anough to put you off forever.
It's not bad, but not great, the price is much better than I thought, especially the no contract 3g data prices, but meh. I'd rather have something more pocketable, and my iPhone is good enough right now.
Well it kind of seems like I could just buy a laptop and get more done. When I run down the things this thing could do and what a Laptop of similar price could do...I just can't help but shake my head in disgust.
All I can say is...
WAY TO PAY FOR A NAME APPLE FANS.

Exactly what I was thinking. I was excited for the announcement because I thought it would be a FULLY functional computer ... instead we get a big iPhone/iPod Touch. There is no way, (except for downloads or hooking it into a computer), to input media/software directly into this thing. Where are the USB ports? Where is the disk drive? Looks like the price point reflects the necessity to spend money at the App store, iTunes, or the new iBook store.
Dammit, I really wanted to like this thing. A portable touch screen system with Photoshop or some music programs to have a totally portable music system would have been righteous.
Swing and a miss ...

Its a huge but interesting bastard of a device.
I hear it has a standby time of 30 days. My DS can last a day or two in sleep mode. Whatever they are using for its battery, it sounds quite good.
Will I buy one? First I'd have to find out the price, but knowing Apple, its going to be extortionate. I guess the answer is no, but an iPhone I will invest in as the price on them comes down.
Besides, I already have a Wacom tablet and a laptop is on the horizon for me. Like some say, if I could rely on Apple to have a more open system like a PC, I'd also consider one.
What's more interesting though, is how Nintendo will respond to ipad. This thing now has the power to crush Nintendo somewhat. DS/GB2 is still far off in comparison. With a more friendly dev environment and the ability to run and upscale iPhone/touch games and aps, there's mountains of content already.
Should be interesting to see who Apple market this at too aswell.

you're talking to the wrong people. Scrubs on destructoid can't afford this stuff anyway, I bet all the soccer mom's trying to be hip will eat this up.
Might want to replace the battery in your DS, sleep mode in mine can last a around a week.
Also there is no way this is in competition with Nintendo handhelds or ANY handhelds.
It's cheapest price point is $500!

well, at least it's solid state memory, so it'll be pretty tough. you'd have to purchase a case to carry it around in as well, because that big of a screen is going to be a scratch magnet. i prefer smaller electronics, so i'll probably pick up the ipod touch instead.
Yes, this reaches for gamers, who promptly slap its hand and waggles their fingers at it for being naughty.
Wow, a big iTouch. Braveaux.

There could be some REALLY fuckin cool games released on this thing later on... with that huge screen and all?
...So it's a huge iPod Touch? Wasn't the point of something like the iTouch to be portable?
It's a nice screen, but the iTouch sucks for gaming 99% of the time, and making the screen bigger isn't going to help change that.

Worthless product is worthless. Lucky for Apple they've got a horde of idiot fanboys to buy this crap.
No multitasking and a 4:3 screen are what make this a complete dud for me. Might be better than a phone, but in know way is this thing better than a laptop.
just as an aside, this isn't a gaming console. and it's not meant to be a laptop replacement, or a big iPod that does more.
It's meant to be a direct competitioner to the Amazon Kindle. It's an e-book reader that does a lot more, useful for keeping books and taking notes in class, and such use.

You know what works for taking notes in class? A pen and paper ... very convenient and costs alot less ..

Only way I'd get this is if it were a gift(with a receipt). Until then, I shall be getting the new Asus G73. Not a tablet, not even a netbook, a nice powerhouse laptop.
@LemonSaint: that's the pitch, and how they are selling it. and you know most universities have laptop requirements for their classes. Which means that 2 or 3 years from now, this could be what replaces those laptop in universities. At least I'm pretty sure that's what they are aiming for. So yes, it's an overdue update to the ebook reader, not a replacement for your wacom or your laptop.

What the hell do you do to kill your laptops after 6 months? We've had the same laptop for over 4 years running XP...and still going with no problems.
