Apple Ipad

[LBJefferies]

Apple unveiled a tablet today. I think it will be popular in the long run, but the first gen device is going to fail I think mainly because it doesn't have enough memory. The largest version is only 64 gigs which is about the size of my music collection. I would want all my music plus another couple hundred gigs for HD movies. Would also be nice if Apple would include a fucking usb port but of COURSE they wouldn't do that. Also, the bezel is fail.

why would you want an USB port? what are you wanting to connect?

Lest they couldve done is make the screen go all the way to the edge. maybe next gen they will get it right. HDD should have no less then 2TB, and have an eSATA, HDMI,ports. and at least 2 USB ports ADEQUATELY SPACED apart so you can have 2 devices plugged in at once. ( on my laptop and on most computers they are too close together to do this .)

So it's like a giant Iphone?

2tb? Are you serious?

For external memory of some sort. If not usb then an expandable memory slot. There are 256 gig flash drives now. 64 gigs is just to small.

I guess it doesn't matter though if the internet is moving more and more towards cloud and streaming media. I guess more memory just encourages pirating.

yes. I am serious, all computers should have at least 1TB.

[Wishno87]

Do they even make 2.5in drives in 2tb??

where can I get one and how much are they?

If you have to ask

[Restoman]

I really don't understand why you would want all of you (64gb Jesus that's alot of music) to carry around with you. It's not an ipod nor is it likely to be a laptop replacement.

It's a pity they didn't consult you before they released it. This reminds me of your 'e30 race car' thread.

"10.2 zigahertz, 11.5 jigabytes of space, 104 inch touch screen, 4 HDMI ports, USB 12.0...and it should be $50"


Oh and Ipad just sounds like someone from Boston saying "ipod"

sounds like a women's hygiene product...

[allwheeldrive]

I don't get the prices they are charging for these things. The amazon thing is a rip-off and this is a rip-off. You can buy a decent laptop for that price and do more with it.
