Remind me again just what is an iPad good for? Seems to me to be a product looking for a market, looking for a reason to exist. Some of the specs/features (or lack thereof) I've read for it make it seem extremely limited. Seems like an overgrown iPod touch. My son calls his iPod touch "an iPad-nano" only half-jokingly.

Why kill or compete with a product that seems to be going nowhere, capable of not much? Don't make an iPad clone, make something useful.

Nobody does total product integration like Apple...period.

Why do we need an iPad killer? If the thing works, more power to Apple. If it doesn't work, it will kill itself.

When is Apple going to contract with Verizon?

I like much of what I see with iPhone, but I require dependable reception/service. I am not convince that there’s anything better than Verizon for coverage.

I sure do love my iMac.

I haven’t bothered to study the product, but I’m don’t see a purpose for iPad... perhaps I should pay more attention. ;>)

As I have said previously, each time Apple introduces a new product the anti-
Apple people pan it and call it an iFail before it is ever introduced. They are ALWAYS wrong!

Apple’s uniqueness, IMO, (Some may even call it Jobs’ uniques.) is to see way down the road and incrementally build toward that vision. Their products are visionary enough that they build a platform for the truly creative people - the users and developers - to exploit that platform. That is where the usefulness of the platform is realized, in its applications.

Each new Apple product from the beginning of OSX has been simply another step down a raod that has already been well mapped.

Anti-Apple people will just have to live with that. Someday, it won’t be market share being discussed, it will be what else can we do with this!

I have an iPad. It’s just a giant iTouch. It works fine and has a marketing niche. It synced and runs my iphone apps. Overall, it is a decent product

I used it for this message. .

HP is coming out with the Web OS-based Hurricane in the fall.
Also, I would not discount Android. In a few weeks there will be a Android Tablet on Verizon.

No need to kill anything Apple related. If people like them, so what? No his forced or coerced to buy an Apple product of any kind.
