Apple's iPad rules while Microsoft drools
Apple will sell its newly unveiled tablet-style iPad starting at $499.
The iPad resembles an iPhone, but larger. Apple will sell some iPad models with data plans from AT&T, with no contract required.
Apple Inc. will have to convince consumers, many of whom already have Internet-connected phones, computers and TVs, that they'll want to pay that much for such a device, when many small, lightweight "netbooks" cost less than $400.
CEO Steve Jobs says the iPad will be better for reading books, playing games and watching video than either a laptop or a smart phone. The initial price is likely to drop. Apple sold the first iPhone for $599 but slashed the price to $399 after a few months, upsetting early buyers.
I dont like the iPad, but it is Apple's first tablet and I am a fan of apple, mostly because the iPad is a giant version of the iPod touch, and it doesn't have any usb's, you have to buy the camera, usb and other appuratuses, and it only has wi-fi and you have to pay for 3G!
I think the ipad is awesome. It is like a bigger iphone. I wish I had one of those that would be a lot more fun than my iphone. With that it would be fun to play games you could touch it and move stuff with your finger.It is just like a iphone but bigger. I can't believe the technology they have right now. I wish my mom would get one, it beats my iphone.
I herd of this apple touch pad before. I really want one!!! the only problem is that I'm in school and don't have a job and have no money!!!! Can't wait to get one!
I think that the ipad was a great idea. there is so much you can do withit it. You can play games or search the web. One advantage of the ipad is that it is smaller than a laptop so it is easy to bring on a plane or any where else you plan to go. Also, i think it is really cool that it has a touch screen you can use while on it.
i think that it should be that much. it is a great invention. Why wouldn't anyone want to get that. I think that it is great. I love how you can get three things for 500 dollar. I love the idea of the Ipad
I think the Ipad is a scam. Why would somebody want something that big. It would be easier to have a small phone and an i pod that the Ipad
