    Apple CEO Steve Jobs announces highly anticipated tablet computer, the Apple iPad.

    The iPad will cost $499 for a 16-gigabyte model, $599 for a 32 GB version and $699 for a 64-gigabyte model with Wi-Fi only.

    Will you buy this new device?

    I personally will not buy an iPad, because I don't find any reason to buy and I have yet to use a touchscreen device.

    After, iPhone, this will surely be one of the most hyped products around. Personally, I dont see any reason to buy iPad, even if price is almost good. It will act like a status symbol for sure, rather than anything else.

    The iPad. With a revolutionary, 9.7 inch touch screen, and amazing new apps, it does things no tablet PC, netbook, or e-reader could.

    Well it looks awesome, but no, I'm not gonna afford it. I don't have enough money for it and plus I'm a PC guy.

    No. I'm not going to buy one.

    I like my iPhone and I think it's a revolutionary device.

    The iPad is merely an oversized iPhone without a phone!!

    It's too awkward to put in your pocket, yet too small to want to buy a bag for.

    I don't believe it will make my life any easier so no, I'm not goin to spend $499 on one.

    I won't buy it as it has only Wi-Fi in it. :eek:
    Here in India Wi-Fi is not available everywhere. :mad:

    the iPad definitely has a niche market, but I don't think it will be a wide-spread phenomenon at all like iPhone was. I personally wouldn't buy one by I know of a few businessmen and women who would want it.
