I heard Steve Jobs pulled an all nighter on this one.


I'm still waiting on the Macbook Wheel.

from what I've seen, it's nothing more than an inconveniently large iTouch.

Fail.

Form a technical standpoint, that may be true, but I think that it's going to be used in a very different way. If it's priced right, it'll sell like mad.

Oh, and yes - want.

I am no Apple fanboy, but even I have to admit that I want an iPad. Seems like a better mobile solution than my mini 10v netbook, though it will probably cost at least twice as much.

Following the liveblog, it seems to be a cross between an iTouch and a Macbook. It seems more like a netbook without a keyboard, rather than simply being an oversized iPod.

yeah maybe its the beginning of touch-macs or something! soon you'll have notebooks without any keypads which could be a lot like this ipad but only better

Wow! it's fantastic! You can go online, and type emails, and buy music, and watch videos and look at all your pics... er... wait a minute...

Seems a little overhyped, no?

So, US$499-US$699, with an extra $130 on top if you want one with 3G. What do you think? Would you buy one for that price?

Wifi only model available worldwide within 2 months - phew, after we waited so long to get the iPhone in Australia, that is a relief. Now, about the 3G model...
