Going by track record alone, Apple has made all the right decisions when it comes to the next best thing, so I would have to think it will be a success...
Who would actually want to carry around a big book all the time when you have large screen cellphones to choose from? I ordered an iPad, they have sense in their design and their products are fun to work with (although pretty useless). I don't plan to take it around though. IMHO : iPad > Tablet
Ipad is a piece of crap hhhm lets see no flash - apple stupidy stikes again hhhmmm no usb well that make perfect sense hhhm no changeable battery when it tanks , i guess you just buy an new one. resource sucking itunes ...lovely crap.......oooh and lets name it after a feminine product need i say more. enjoy your ipad
yea the ipad being more geared to being a laptop you would think they could include flash so you can use it as a computer instead of giant ipod
The iTab certainly won't replace ebook readers due to it's heavy weight and large design. It's a toy for the Apple lover who has a few hundred bucks to throw around~
ipad has many restricted features but it's cool. i have never seen google's one but since it's linux based one, it may more flexible
The iPad is 4 iPhone's stapled together, and Google is following suit with something similar. Neither is really useful
I too agree with most of the forum members that Apple iPad will be bigger than the Google tablet. As Apple has the latest technology and is been impressive in past with such kind of devices.
I'd prefer an Android based tablet not only because it's open source but also because Android seems to be getting ahead in the right direction.
