Well Apple has finally unveiled their iPad tablet pc and I can say that I am pretty disappointed. I didn’t have very high hopes to start with but it’s basically just a large iPhone that costs from $500 to $830 dollars.
Here are some pros:
- 10 hour battery life while watching videos
- no problem with HD video
- compatible with all iPhone apps
Here are some low points:
- can’t run multiple apps
- no flash support
- Very expensive
- runs iPhone OS
- just a large iPhone
Steve Jobs has said that Apple won’t make a netbook because they are pieces of junk and they can’t bring themselves to make a product for less than $500 (paraphrased). Well if this is as close to a netbook as Apple comes then that’s fine with me, I’ll stick with an Asus Eee PC 1201N if I want to spend $500 and get something worthwhile.
What it does do well is browse the web, and I’m sure it will make a fun toy for millions of fanboys. Here is a hands on:

I was waiting it. But finally i will buy a better and cheaper netbook : Asus 1201n (atom 330 dual core 1,6ghz ; ram 2Go, 250 go HD, 1328×768 HD ready). Sorry Apple, you suck.
you won’t be disappointed with the 1201n
