kristin · 01-27-2010, 11:12 AM

Happy day here in the office! Welcome iPad to the Apple line.

Bossman · 01-27-2010, 11:13 AM

So is there a front cam?

Mickey_ · 01-27-2010, 11:17 AM

The question is
Does it have Flash?

That seems like a NO

kristin · 01-27-2010, 11:18 AM

This thing is crazy ... watch as they unravel it.

For now, this is what has been said about flash from the reporter covering it:

Jason Chen:

And next, National Geographic?s website. This could a flash plugin, I?m not sure. And Steve Jobs hasn?t said anything about it yet.

flash for what? what other readers/touchpads do you know that have a flash?

Ravage · 01-27-2010, 11:19 AM

An Un-innovational pos. Its nothing more than a big iPhone. Congrats Jobs on making a bigger iPhone screen!

EDIT: I should mention I didn't expect any less or any more from it. I'm just glad its called the iPad. So much parody fun to be had at the products expense

Flash is kind of important if you plan on surfing the net with this overpriced POS.

bigmacandcheese · 01-27-2010, 11:22 AM

We're going to be selling the domain IpadPorn.com in the next week.

We've owned it since last august so there are no trademark issues.

We'll be setting up a post in the sales thread soon.

Can't wait to get one of the ipads!.

Persius · 01-27-2010, 11:24 AM

10:21AM This is the ultimate tease. We've got a sneaking suspicion there's a lot more to come.

i thought he meant a camera flash.. realized that after i posted it, but hoping no one would ready my reply

seeric · 01-27-2010, 11:53 AM

Great for: Magazines that are innovating.

Bad for: Websites with Flash.

Price point will be key.

Bottom line is why should people buy this?

I would ONLY buy it if you can use it as a remote control for AV devices.

Depending on the price, it may pull a lot of people away from the Sony Reader which they seem to be doing a lot of advertising and marketing for.

Amazon just released they are giving you the Kendal for free (try it for 30 days, say you hate it and you get it for free), but its only black and white and limited.

I thought the iPad would be using some 3G network from Verizon but havent heard anything about that yet...

Oracle Porn · 01-27-2010, 11:58 AM

wtf do you mean no flash? can't it be installed? is it not a computer?

CyberHustler · 01-27-2010, 12:02 PM

This fucking flash problem Apple keeps having pisses me the fuck off, son...

TheDoc · 01-27-2010, 12:09 PM

I have an ipod/itouch, it's a great toy... having a bigger screen would be nice. The question is, can it replace my mini - which I doubt.

If apple makes you have another data plan on this thing, it could be free and I wouldn't get it.

iPhone-based OS, so no, it can't be installed. Would have been better if they made a light version of Snow Leopard.

mvee · 01-27-2010, 12:18 PM

you would think the stock would have jumped today

TidalWave · 01-27-2010, 12:18 PM

I don't touch anything produced by apple by miles.

Voodoo · 01-27-2010, 12:25 PM

So my questions are...

1. Can you tether the 3g net connection with your iphone or do you have to buy another service?
2. Can I use all the apps / music I bought for my iphone on this... or do I have to buy them all over again?

You can get one with 3G built in. Most iphone apps will run on the ipad.

GTS Mark · 01-27-2010, 02:26 PM

I can't wait to see Ipad traffic start showing up on our sites

ShellyCrash · 01-27-2010, 02:45 PM

No Flash blows.

I have a lightweight laptop and an android phone, I don't see the benefit yet of this device. Seemed like Jobs was playing up that it's a great web browser but since it doesn't work with Flash I'd have to disagree with him.

The only thing that seems to be sensible is the way it serves what would be traditionally printed media, like magazines and books... but to be honest, even though they are dying, I still like to buy magazines and books. I don't like readers like the kindle, I like the feeling of a paperback in my hand, and I still like crossing my legs, dropping a magazine in my lap and flipping through the glossy pages. It's nice to be able to read text and look at images once in a while that aren't on a lighted screen.
