I just found out it's going to be £499 in the UK!

For a 1GHz processor and a 16GB flash drive!?! Thats a rip off!!

Why would you buy an iPad when you can get a much much better laptop for the same price?!?

does the laptop have a 10 hour battery life?

No! But maybe thats because it has better hardware thats capable of a whole lot more...??

If you're going to carry that around, you might as well carry a full spec laptop instead!

It's just a large iPod touch...but it's pointless imo....maybe it's just me but I wouldn't use it at home because I'd have my laptop...I wouldn't use it whilst out and about because I'd be on my iPod...so I don't see where this would fit in??

With such crappy specs it sounds like the worst investment EVER!

Major problem with wifi, apparently for early adopters.

if you dont do much on the web just simple web browsing looking up email and simple things then the ipad is perfect.

thats why i never rush and get 1st gen of anything so many problems that need fixing, i am waiting for 2g ipad to buy it and it has 64GB of memory though for that price you could get 500GB on a laptop but the 2gen will probably have 128GB of memory also

I suppose, but even then I'm sure you'd need a laptop to sync it, charge it etc....so really, all you're doing is buying an extra screen and a (lousy) bit of memory that you can carry around with you.

I hope they bring out a better one for next year. I really like the concept, but at the moment it's not as portable as the iPhone/iPod Touch...and not as functional as a laptop either...yet just as expensive!!

Seriously...with the amount you'd spend buying the 64GB iPad, you could buy a laptop with 2.2GHz+, 500GB+ Hard drive, 4GB+ Ram....AND get an iPhone as well....!!!!

you could easily sync your iphone with the ipad, it does connect the charger will most likely be the same.. its less of a hassle to carry around there is so many dis advantages and to some it will look good but you never know until you try it

Definitely...it's just not something that everyone NEEDS. If it could replace a laptop then it would be an amazing device!

[paliometoxo]

firstly it does not have multi tasking... that right there means no way in hell could it replace the laptop.. 1GHz? such little space, all the points you made for me are valid and this thing would be more of a toy if i bought it, it would not replace my laptop, but for some who dont really do anything just web surf and email and dont even multi task or use any space then this is easy to use and wont heat up so much when your trying to use it, laptops heat like an oven
