What do you think of the new iPad from Apple? Do you think you would buy one of these new gadgets?

It does look pretty cool. I wouldn't mind owning one of those I think.

I absolutely hate it.

There are two major factors that led to Apple's success when it came to both the iPod and iPhone, and those are innovation and portability. Both products had innovative new features while being compact, portable, and stylishly designed.

What we have in the iPad is little more than a giant iPod Touch. It does nothing new that we haven't already seen before and it's certainly not portable, at least not nearly as portable as Apple's two major products.

I'll pass.
The filesize rules are way too small for my sig, so click here to see it instead. :(

No. If I had $500 to blow on it, I'd rather get a PlayStation 3.

Invision, if you will, entering a room only to hear a segment of an ongoing conversation being had by two male co-workers going something like this:
person1: ... market segment is going to buy an Ipad.
person2: My girl friend wants one.
me: :oops: <exits room>

Yeah, so anyways. The following day I found out what an Ipad was and that segment of conversation was instantly understood.

It's destined to be a failed product, joining the ranks of such resent blunders as Sony's PSP Go.
