Apple posts iPad 4.2 update page, reminds you what's coming

^ Loser comments above…

Why would you need Swype when iOS has the best on screen keyboard available?

There’s an app for that…

ok, I’ll bite:

yeah, it is like a bigger ipod touch…but the bigger makes it much, much more useful and lends itself to being practical in many places where an ipod touch would be too small (note taking, long reading sessions) but is much lighter than a standard laptop and with a much better battery than most laptops.

At the end of the day, its a very useful swiss army knife, and like a swiss army knife its not the best at anything, but its awfully good for most things.

So why would you read and post on an article about a device that you obviously hate….

oh wait….Troll

Version 1 doesn’t have a camera, and it doesn’t claim to. So… don’t buy it if you want a camera?

Best mobile web browsing experience I’ve had and it has HTML5, which everyone is switching to anyway.

It can stream to a TV with iOS 4.2 with nifty WiFi. No cable needed. Wowww.

The cheapest iPad is 16GB which is about 8,000 songs plus it can stream unlimited music.

So yeah, cool device. If it’s not for you then it’s not…

Its for taking pictures! Oh wait… (Get a camera)

Its for getting on the web and … Oh wait, no flash… (View the website on your laptop or desktop)

Its for watching movies, then connecting it to a TV and,… oh wait, no hdmi out (Get Netflix)

Maybe I can carry unlimited music? Oh wait, no expandable storage… (That’s impossible. Even if you had a 32 GB microSD card, you would still eventually run out of space. You could only have unlimited music if you had an Infinite GB microSD card, which to my current knowledge, doesn’t exist)

Oh yeah… Great device…LOL (I have an iPad, and I can ecstatically say that it is a great device)

Not entirely true.

I can connect to a TV through non-hdmi.

Of the top traffic sites near all work without issue or have a dedicated app on the ipad or are flash porn.

Nothing has unlimited storage, swapping cards is a poor substitute for ample on-device storage. Sure, I get the argument that you could, but seriously would you? It’s not a Primary Device (by function, not by use), it needs base-station computer to shine…but nobody’s touting it as “the best free-standing device EVER.” There’s not a single Android device that anyone would say “with this I don’t need another computer” or even “…another laptop.”

I don’t know anyone with a “only computer is a…” netbook who is satisfied with it.

Aside from skype/chatting (which I’ll give you is a big deal) what computer really has a camera for taking pictures??? For that matter, how many laptops now are standard with a camera?

Never has…. Never will

Its use is different from person to person. I happen to use it as web browser at work and traveling is so much better without bringing the macbook along everywhere. Watch movies and the apps on it offer a better experience than iphone ones. In fact I dont use my iphone much anymore other than to make kickass movies and take gorgeous pictures with it. (aside from making calls)

Yes, CourseSmart offers iPad textbooks at up tp 50% off. That mad the iPad even more appealing to me. It’s like getting paid to buy an iPad with the money you save on textbooks.

If ppl have an opinion on something they have a right to comment on it…don’t get me wrong i get tired of all the negative comments myself but ppl come to these forums to learn and share their opinions about technology…and if ur going to try and make a point, u shouldn’t really contradict urself IN THE SAME POST…seriously ur telling ppl not to comment on something u don’t like then go and bash Android and Motorola in the next sentence…seriously dude, practice what u preach.

Hey Chief… Tablets having becoming coming out for years…. Ipad wasnt the first… same as smartphone have been out for years iphone wasn’t the first it just advertises the best..

Windows has been on tablets for years. You must not have a job or you would have seen one by now.

No, but a notebook computer is ;)

What does come to your mind when you think productivity? What are your expectations for a device like this to be considered good for productivity?

Pages and numbers programs dont count as productive??

Unfortunately the Tab seems tied to a cell plan! I just got off the phone with Samsung, which says that in the US, it will be on Verizon. Major bummer!! I want a wifi-only version of the tab, so I won’t be paying monthly fees.
