Ipad - Whats your opinion?

[Invent]

I love it. For a while now I've wanted a device (that's smaller than my Macbook) which I can use for browsing the net, watching videos and doing work. Luckily for me, the iPad does all of these things p-e-r-f-e-c-t-l-y. Multi-tasking would be pretty nice but I'll easily manage without it.

Get a goddamn clue instead of just wading in spouting crap about what it is or isn't. It's a complete flop and marketed incredibly wrong.

Ya, it's a complete flop...even though it hasn't even been released yet. As for marketing, again, it hasn't been released yet and so they haven't even started marketing it.

Yeah, though I prefer to not jailbreak personally . I really wouldn't be surprised if the next iteration of the iPad OS includes multi-tasking anyway.

Cydia apps? Cydia apps in the main are poor.

No - Appulous?

I personally like it, but wouldnt get this generation of it. I mean think how many things it replaces in the house! Calendar, phonebook, netbooks used primarily for the internet, 7" DVD players, can be a photoframe etc. All in one thing.

I could see myself using one in the future.


EDIT: also, multitasking is alright.. on a mac or PC. Where you can actually see whats open. But the way that its all set out, theres no way that it can easily be done without changing it completely. I know i know, they couldve developed a new OS for it, which they may do in the future, but i dont see it as a major downside, more, a minor inconvenience

EDIT2: Appulous and installous

Some things -cough- netbooks -cough- would be much better to be honest. Particularly if they were running a trimmed down OS -cough- Google Chrome OS -cough- that boots in just 7 seconds and only uses a web browser.

Everything that can be down on the iPad can be done on a Netbook

Ah ok, I thought you were talking about "proper" jailbroken apps
