I wonder how many tablets have been sold since tablets were first introduced. It seems like Apple will outsell all tablet sales with it's iPad in a very, very short timeframe. I think we'll see Android-based tablets as the most profitable competitors to the iPad, with MS making a tablet version of their Windows Phone 7 Series OS which HP will surely jump on. A desktop OS is just foolish for that device type and size [and use].

shows you how efficiently apple can write software. The idea is to make them portable with 10 hours of usage. Lets see the HP slate even try to come close to that. especially with windows 7..and wasnt the slate supposed to be already released? or did that get delayed? where are the places you can pre-order one?

Indeed.

Software designed for the device, not the other way around.

Just look at iWork.

Some people just won't get it. But they will in time. This is the future of computing.

People seem angry by Apple's success. If I went out and purchased a Droid or a Slate without testing either, they would be perfectly happy. But somehow I'm a complete fool for buying an iPad.

a real keyboard

all these early adopters are fanbois who spend too much money for glitzy tech that is just a toy, nobody besides them or the great unwashed masses of clueless consumers who don't worship at the altar of featuredom will buy this.


Yet another troll. Is your name Bill by any chance? The things you are saying about the almighty iPad (which by the way) is far ahead of its time! Also the same things that many people said about the iPhone's perceived short comings. And look at the millions of those that still sell every month! Go back and to your Windows fanboy forum, this is for the much more advanced computer user.

Don't worry "we" are the trail blazers. The people who understand why this product (iPad) is extremely timely and has already shown HUGE pre-orders to prove it.

When it was first released, I struggled to figure out why I should buy it.

In the intervening months, there have been many occasions when I have gone "an iPad right now would have been awesome!".

1) Surfing the net while watching TV (posting on sports forums while watching games, looking up channels, actor info, etc.)
2) Bedtime news reading. I love going through my rss feeds before sleeping, and doing it while laying on the bed would be awesome.
3) Reading ebooks.
4) Digital Photo Album
5) Recipe Display while cooking

I am still not sure if I can justify spending $500 for the above (all of which I can already achieve with my macbook/iphone, but not half as conveniently), but if the money was not an issue, it would be a no-brainer.

The report appears to support an independent analysis by an Apple investor community, which estimated that 120,000 iPads were sold on the first day alone, with orders then settling at a pace of roughly 30,000 per day.

Correction: deagol has updated his estimate to 10,000 per day. Still pretty good for something almost no one has touched yet.

It's really odd posturing. Apple has a long history of building CE that people like with great customer service and a track record of well liked gadgets. They've also shown the HW, demoed the OS and 1st- and 3rd-party apps, while also releasing an SDK which has a simulator, and announced their partners for services like the iBookstore.

Yet that is a major risk to some here, yet they'll say that the still in development HP Slate or, worse, vapourware concepts like MS Courier are better choices. I honestly don't get it.

He is using satire to state all the Anti-Apple talking points before others can state them as a method of diffusing the haters.

HP Slate is being launched later this year but on schedule:

http://www.pcr-online.biz/news/33309...ting-with-iPad

One thing that Apple does right regardless of how they make the devices is make sure that content providers are pulled in. They aren't always totally successful but they seem to get stronger at it all the time and it benefits everyone in the industry.

The HP Slate will benefit from the iPad introduction and it would be wise of them to introduce the product after it to see how they tackle content distribution and try to offer the same experience but more value.

[quote=Postulant]Yet HP can only dream of selling 100,000 within two hours, or two years for that matter{/quote]

The top netbook manufacturers are shipping around 2 million units per quarter and the price is around $299. If the HP Slate spec is good, it will stand out well against other netbooks.

No no no... Haven't you heard? When Apple has HUGE pre-orders, it's only because of fanboys, the Apple faithful, or (insert comment about early adopters). When, for example, the Droid has the same success, it's because of superior product development and because Apple is falling behind the competition.

When is the magical Slate coming out.

The geeks just don't get it.

People don't want a full blown OS on a device like this.

The geeks like the holy crap idea of running an OS that was clearly not designed to run on a product like this.

Geek lust over reality I am afraid.

Go play with your netbook.

You're the one without a clue. Probably because all you know about 'news' is from internet-type sources.

Outlets such as the WSJ or the NYT will not report stuff like this without major-league verification. Period. The editors will simply tell the reporters to go back and redo the story, or to trash it, if they can't meet certain sourcing standards.

People keep saying that this device hasn't been tested...but it has. For all intents and purposes, it IS just an oversized iPhone/Touch. I've been using my iPhone for quite some time now, and I think that I know what to expect from the iPad.

A Bigger Screen.

That's all I want. A bigger screen. Rumor has it that it's more "zippy" than the iPhone, but that's just bonus points really.

I want to be able to hold it in my hand and remote access my movie collection on my desktop. I can already do this from my iPhone, so it shouldn't be much of a problem for the iPad.

I want to be able to read books on it. Yay.

I want to be able to surf the net, check email, and maybe type a short document.

I don't need to "test" the thing, and neither does anyone else. We all know how the stupid thing works by now. If you don't, use an iPhone, then imagine it with a bigger screen. Some people may think it's silly to pay money for a bigger screen, but we do it all the time for TV's and monitors.

To me, having the capabilities of an iPhone, with a larger screen, and a more comfortable form factor than my laptop for casual use makes this well worth the price.

This is what I'm waiting for proof of. C'mon steve.

There are apps that almost do that today and more. I control all my AV equipment, see my security cameras, turn on lights, access media libraries all through my iPhone.

The iPhone apps will also work with the iPad and many of the software vendors plan to have direct iPad support for higher resolutions. Check out J9Automation, Creston, Homeseer, etc. Though, not many of those systems work with the Apple TV due to its lack of a dvd/blu ray player.

I would be surprised if that were the case. There are a couple of sub 500 tablets out and there is one a lot of people are watching that is supposed to come in sub-300. We watch in the home automation sphere because we are always looking for good touch screens to embed in a wall, kitchen, etc on the cheap...

What app do you use to remote view your movies on your desktop? Im curious I would like to check that out.

Quick question; how many fanboys are there?

At tens of thousands, the critics say it is just rabid fanboys. At hundreds of thousands, same thing. How many millions does it take before people admit that Apple products have general, mass appeal? Consider the success of the iMac, iPod, iPhone; there simply aren't enough fanboy nut jobs to account for it. The vast majority of Apple customers are Windows users. Isn't it about time to stop dismissing the overwhelming number of people interested in purchasing this product as fanboys?

Your posts seem to veer wildly between mindless troll and considered thinker - this is clearly the former. Ballmer carried a barely functional slate at CES for a few seconds a couple of weeks before Steve demo'd the complete iPad. The Slate has no release date (only a release year) and all the comments of "it'll be good value at $1000" coming out before Jan 27th have withered in the face of iPad pricing... enjoy your Slate if it ever makes it out.
