Clearly we should wait for them to develop it further those cons look like they ommited a lot of stuff…
hae bab,
love ur dick
im ready 4 it
i hve gone done it in public before
keep your comments to your self
I think a touchscreen key board would have been nice …. i don’t think a wireless device that can access the net should be without a keyboard
Oh Keyboard is there ..
… Woohoo go Apple
The keyboard is there and it is the same size as a normal keyboard. Additionally, there is a physical keyboard attachment that can be added.
that is great! i want an ipad! do you own one?
the i pad is much bigger
you smell . bad
This isn’t revolutionary. I’m posting this comment from a touchscreen UMPC from 2006 with a better processor (a 1.2GHz Core thats way better than this) that may be thicker but is way smaller, and can run a full featured operating system, even Vista. It has 2 webcams and obviously supports flash, and yet its way older than this. How is this new product revolutionary?
your wrong…jerk
No SD card slot?
