It's a huge iPhone. Except, I already have a phone for the purposes of being a phone, and it fits in my pocket. This doesn't.
Complete and utter failure, nothing but yet another overpriced Apple product for The Sect to throw away their money on.

I had never before heard about the iPad. Then I googled it. Wow.
I'm sure the iPad can be useful for some people (it looks like some kind of Palm thing, just checked a pic about the size complaint) but it doesn't really look like anything a mainstream average dude needs. But then again, I base all this on just one picture, so what do I know?

I think whoever named it iPad should lose his job...sounds like something in the 'feminine hygiene' section of a store.
"Throw out those maxi pads and go get yourself some new iPads!!!"
Yea. iTablet would have been much better. I can't fathom exactly how this benefits end users. You've got the computer and the smartphone with dedicated tasks. Why combine them?

This thing is awesome. Why would I want to spend like 300-400 on a netbook when I can spend double the price on a thing where it's much harder to type and do really anything productive?

This is what i was thinking when I clicked this thread, I am disappointed.
This thread is now about future feminine hygiene products, go!

iPhone overpriced? Maybe a little expensive, but it's really not that bad if you look at it this way: Add the prices of your phone, your ipod, a simple handheld game console and give it a web browser that's actually functional, and you'll probably get around the price of an iPhone (maybe more). Then consider the fact that it's all in one device. Most people don't understand how good they are until they get one.

When the thing launched it was definitely overpriced. There's a reason it dropped substantially after being out only for a couple months.

Looks pretty sweet to me, I don't know why people feel the need to deride it. It's clearly not for everyone and I don't think it's something I would need. Watching movies on an iPod touch is really nice on a plane ride, I can only imagine how it would be on the iPad. Going to be interesting to see how much effect this has on old media and e-books.

I haven't looked at it myself, but from what I understand; it doesn't have a phone. All of the other things you listed also fit in your pocket. I'd rather have a laptop, considering it does all of the things an iPad does, but it's faster bigger screen, not apple, and doesn't have **** games.
You're gonna need a bag for this thing anyway, unless you wear pants with enormous pockets. (inb4iPants)

As you were gentlemen.
I think the iPad would be really good for the elderley people to read emails and browse the news.
They could of thought of a better name, Ipad sounds like some electronic menstruating device. Electric tampons or something

Heres a danish joke about greenlanders:
Q: Whats every greenlanders superpower?
A: They can drink three times their income.
EDIT: To the guy saying it would be something nice for the elderly:
My grandparents on my fathers side recieved a computer as a gift from us about 5 years ago. To this day it has yet to recieve any electricity.
My granddad on my mothers side once panicked because he read in his newspaper that a new virus was circulating that could be transfered from his computer to him if he touched the screen whilst it was on his hard-drive. (yes it was the first of april).
I dont think dumbing down the technology will increase the intelligence of the users.

I was really hoping this would be running either a new OS or at least macOS and that it would have an active digitizer. I yearn for the day that a 10" slate gets released, that I can use as a glorified notepad which functions as an actual computer.
I am not a mac fanboy and dislike the iPhone and iPods, but I was really looking forward to this, apple has disappointed me again.
