you can't hype a bad product; at least not for long.


Really?  Windows has been hyped pretty well for the last 15 years.

Is there a reason why this douchebag's choice of clothing gets closer and closer and closer to a priest's cassock every time they trot out some overpriced, under-powered, over-hyped, under-featured toy for the latte and frappuchino set?


He looks more like Doctor No from an old James Bond movie.

The pad looks interesting though... I've wanted something like that ever since the movie "2001".

Is it just me, or does he look a little bit ashamed of himself holding up that silly thing?

You could've bought one any time from about 1993/4 to present, you know.
Back away from the EU-SSR!

That's just nuts! 140,000 apps and no Amiga emulator. It'd probably be the best/killer app on the pad! LOL

I believe Apple has a "no emulators" clause on the iPhone App store, there was an issue trying to get a C64 emulator in there.  Of course you can probably hack the device to install things like that on it, or maybe they'll be less prohibitive with the iPad.

I hereby declare that price matrices that are composed upon a memory/storage column, total bullshit. Solid state, FLASH, or otherwise.  

Memory/Storage? WTF? Memory/Storage is nothing. This matrix is back from the future, like 2001. Not 2010.

Ugh what a piece of junk.... and I'm an Apple fanboy.

Can't install my own apps - I'm restricted to those Apple thinks I should be allowed to use.
Too big to carry in my pocket, and If I'm bringing a bag then my Macbook Pro's going in it, not this thing.
4:3 screen - what is this, 2003? Useless for movies.

What do they think people will want this for?
