I refuse to buy a iphone imo they are over priced and also an ipod touch £306 for a 64gb version so how much are they going to rip you off for that.
Grahams sky news predicted this including it's name 2 hours ago 😉

Only if you've got an app for that.
The way the BBC have been going on about this, you'd think it was some sort of second coming or something! It's just a ****ing computer FFS!
I thought everyone knew it was going to be an iPad...****, that was doing the rounds days ago.
Looks like maybe it doesn't have Flash according to gizmodo...?
The ihate app?

Oh, no, it's sooooo much more than that...

They could have powdered his head. 0/10 for the make-up lady.
Daily Mail said it was going to be called the islate.
They made the touch bigger. Wow
So it's a big iPhone that you can't phone on?
Wow.
Folk will be getting through some iTissues tonight then.

I am on a different planet so it took longer for my post to arrive 😯
I don't even have any Apple products but I do know what NAS stands for
In his defense takisawa2 he has been severely sick.

Good. Hopefully that will help it's demise along a bit.
see, I like Apple stuff. Don't own much of it, but it's nice stuff.
but, for ****'s sake.... 'app'?
lazy bastards.
My missus asked if they were now in the feminine hygiene business? 😯
Kuco - you might find this interesting if you think the iPhone is overpriced...

basically it costs Apple $178 to make each phone and it sells them at $199 (ok so we may more in the UK, vat etc.) so apple makes $20 for each iPhone sold in its stores... however they make $371 from AT&T in subsides for each iPhone AT&T sells with a contract! Obviously thats probably changed since you can get the phone from more providers but its interesting all the same.
I don't get it.
What does it do? Is it a laptop? A phone that doesn't fit in your pocket? How do you type on it? With a keyboard that appears and takes up half the screen? Does it bounce? Does it frisbee? Is it heat-resistant enough to be used as a placemat?
So many questions.
Love it or hate it, how many iPod copies are there, and how may iPhone copies...?
It's not the price of the phone it's the contract monthly price the vendors are charging put's me off.

Yeah but you're averse to gears and suspension forks on your mountain bikes!
Nuff said, you heathen... 😉
Just cos I'm lazy, MBoy, just cos I'm lazy. Cleaning gears and forks is a chore. My post-ride maintenance today consisted of hanging the bike up. Oh yeah. 8)
And anyway, you haven't answered my question!!
That looks ridiculous!
Interesting eBook / Gaming / Web & Email device.
Not sure I could use one for business though unless there is a proxy for MS Office on it 🙁
I'd rather they had launched a 15" screened £400 laptop.
No more jizz inbetween the keys and a wipe-proof screen 8)
Does Steve Jobs always have that effect on you hora?
why would they release a £400 laptop? they have no need too! people buy their stuff any regardless of the cost
People will buy the iPad as its apple, its new and it looks cool, they're big enough to sell what they want now and people wiol still buy it regardless of what the haters say
What does it do?
Without having had a go on one myself, I couldn't say for sure...
Would hazard a guess Apple is aiming it at people for whom the iPhone is their first encounter with an Apple product, and have subsequently considered buying more Apple products, but been put off by the price and different Operating System of a Mac.
That, and those that dislike or aren't familiar with a more "conventional" computer interface.
Looks to me like it will be some kind of crossover between an iPhone/iPod Touch and a conventional laptop. Obviously, due to its size, it's not aimed at the fully mobile market, but perhaps as an alternative to a laptop for those that are less computer savvy than a lot of us?
I won't be buying one for certain, but then I'm not scared of computers... I'll just upgrade my old MacBookPro to something newer when the time comes, and my 3G iPhone to the new 4G version when that finally comes out... 😉
didnt O2 try and release somthing like a touch pad not long ago? what happened to that?
Does Steve Jobs always have that effect on you hora?
He also looks splash-proof.

Spot on crikey. One of the benefits of a smartphone like the iPhone is with 3G you can download content in lots of places. If this is just wi-fi you have to go hunting for wireless hotspots.
edit - maybe you can tether the iPhone to it?
it is 3g....but i still dont see the point in it...
'd rather they had launched a 15" screened £400 laptop.
you almost have your wish.
rrp $500
Its only $499... thats impressive
That looks ridiculous!
LOL
So did a laptop computer 15 years ago! It's all about challenging the conventional ideas one thinks... After all, all these 10" Netbooks have proved popular enough over the last year or 2, maybe Apple is just trying to move this market on?
I'd rather they had launched a 15" screened £400 laptop.
Kind of irrelevant to Apple this end of the market really... They are not aiming at, nor have they ever done so, the budget end of the market. Despite a massive increase in popularity over the last few years, Apple still only represent approximately 6% of the world's computer operating systems by usage, as opposed to Windows being on more than 90% of the computers in the world in one form or another.
I'd rather they continued to focus on the high end, high performance end of things more with their computers than attempt to muscle in on the budget stuff!
Wait till next year and they will have a pocket version 🙂
