But LIKE I SAID -- look at the device as if it exists in a vacuum. Take it on its own merits.
And pretend nothing else exists to compare it to? That right there is a weak argument.

At this moment, there ain't many things putting up a fight. When the better things get here they will surely be compared. The Microsoft thing looks awesome, but until the public can actually get their hands on it, there's no sense in bashing the iPad based on other products conceived potential.

As for something I don't particularly like about the iPad, the iPod app, when the music is playing and you're viewing the album art, is pretty fucking hideous and a terrible waste of space. Not very typical of Apple.

You said I was kind of a dick. Not that I care, but you said it first

Look bro, sorry, I don't try to be a dick when I argue, but I understand how I can come across that way. I like arguing, don't take it personal

Trust me, I'm not trying to bash it. I can totally see everything positive about it. All in all it just seems like something that doesn't deserve....itself. Do you know what I mean?

Yeah, but I think where that is coming from is Apple's marketing and I can't really blame them for that.

This is an April fool's joke but I would totally buy this.

Freakin brilliant.

Also, the Ipad seems to be mostly an apple attack on whatever those e-book things are called. Plus, soon enough they'll have some crazy musical aps for it and the entire new DT album will just be called "JR + Ipad".

Bacong · « **Reply #183 on:** April 03, 2010, 10:57:16 PM »

Yeah, Bebot/similar synth app will be awesome on a bigger screen.

Dimitrius · « **Reply #184 on:** April 03, 2010, 10:59:00 PM »

I just want the Auto-tune app on a bigger screen!!

blackngold29 · « **Reply #185 on:** April 03, 2010, 11:03:38 PM »

And speaking of JR: Walked into an Apple store today and jammed on the Pianist Pro app for the Ipad. Ipad is very responsive! Wow! Time to ROCK!

blackngold29 · « **Reply #189 on:** April 03, 2010, 11:13:42 PM »

BeBot for the iPad would be awesome. I'd pull it out at random times when surrounded by large groups of people and start to Wah Wah it up. It would make the iPhone version look like a toy.

orcus116 · « **Reply #190 on:** April 03, 2010, 11:14:43 PM »

Can you actually make interesting stuff with Bebot? I feel like JR just sucked at it.

Adami · « **Reply #191 on:** April 03, 2010, 11:15:21 PM »

If they come out with enough awesome musical apps, I might get the Ipad for them alone. Certainly cheaper than most other similar musical instruments.

Bacong · « **Reply #192 on:** April 03, 2010, 11:20:01 PM »

You know what would be amazing? A huge, deep KORG app for the iPad...fuck.

"Imagine the possibilities of students having all their school books on one device." - You mean like the Kindle or any other Ebook reader?

And seriously, what is with everyone talking about the iPad like it's a new device? TABLETS HAVE BEEN OUT FOR YEARS.

I'm browsing this thread on my iPod touch and it would be awesome if the screen were a lot bigger.

I'm browsing this thread on my netbook and it cost about a third of the price of the iPad, has a large HDD, allows me to install apps that don't have to be approved by the manufacturer, has flash and all these other fancy things.

Adami · « **Reply #197 on:** April 04, 2010, 01:11:31 AM »

I'm browsing this thread on my I-magination. It's as big as I want it to be and only has posts about how awesome I am.

Yawn.

AcidLameLTE · « **Reply #199 on:** April 04, 2010, 01:15:53 AM »

Touché

P.S. I can multitask on it

tri.ad · « **Reply #200 on:** April 04, 2010, 01:39:17 AM »

So much hatred...

The discussion about Bebot and similar applications has come up recently here. I think that the iPad could actually go places with them, once they are developed and distributed, of course.
Nevertheless, I still stand with what I said about the iPad before. I don't need one, therefore I won't be getting one. Also, it has some technical weaknesses (like the lacking ability to multi-task) that lead me to the opinion that the iPad definitely isn't technically mature enough yet to be more than a big iPod touch.

AcidLameLTE · « **Reply #201 on:** April 04, 2010, 01:44:27 AM »

Meh. I've never seen the point in tablet PCs anyway. Just seem like a waste of money to me, at least, for personal use anyway. I can see why businesses might want to use them.

I agree with you, that's the main reason why I won't get an iPad or any tablet PC, for that matter.

This.

I'm actually amazed that people are still excited by the iPad.

Hey, Adami. I'll give you $10 if you buy two iPads, you dress up as Moses and come out of the Apple Store holding them above your head.

You may have to wait actually till they come out with the I-tablet. Ipads are pretty puny still.
