  I agree. I am very disappointed in the name.
• MrPoke

  

  10 hours of video play and 1 MONTH of standby time, wow!
• justincredible

  

  The 10 hours battery life is huge.
• I Wear Pants

  "Ipad"
  
  "Did you mean to say Ipod but you just have a stupid accent that makes it sound like Ipad or did you mean to say Ipad?"
  
  "Ipad"
  
  "Um..."
• OneBuckeye

  

  Yeah laptop > Ipad.
  
  Why not just let apple users use their iphone apps on their laptops. That is all this seems to be, is a giant ipod touch.
• swamisez

  

  I just can't see where I would use this thing. I guess if I was a dedicated netbook user I would consider ditching it for this.
  
  I wonder if you could run Iwork or office on it? If I could get away with leaving my computer at home and take this on the road and still do some work I would consider getting one.

  iPad just makes me think of a giant sanitary napkin.
• cbus4life

  I'm still going to call it an iTablet.

  I giant intelligent tampon...lmao
• McFly1955

  

  I'm pretty disappointed with what I've heard so far...I'm no mac fanboy or anything, this just had a lot of hype, and seems to be pretty useless.
  
  The only apple product I own is a 32gb Ipod touch 3g, and had high expectations for this iTampon, but it just doesn't seem useful or practical at all....It's pretty much a big ipod touch/iphone, and anyone in their right mind would surely spend $600+ on a laptop before buying this (unless you have money to burn).
• dlazz

  Yeah, this is a bad idea. It's a giant iPod Touch.
• krambman

  

  The announcement of this today has basically crashed Twitter. It was running an 8-9 minute delay as the announcement was made.
• justincredible

  

  $30/mo for unlimited data. $15/mo for 250MB. Who the frick would only use 250MB?
• justincredible

  

  No contract is very nice.
• dlazz

  ATT is very NOT nice. What a pathetic excuse for a device.
• I Wear Pants

  No contract is a [size=xx-large]huge[/size] announcement.
• dlazz

  $499, not too bad of a price.
  
  Still not worth it. Save your cash and get an iPod Touch which does damn near everything this thing does.
• swamisez

  

  apple believes most people will get by with 250MB
  
  also, iwork is available for 9.99 per program
• I Wear Pants

  ATT better upgrade the fuck out of their network...now. Otherwise it's going to melt in 90 days.
• Ytowngirlinfla

  

  Apple just needs to announce the Iphone on a different network. This thing is stupid cause the cost of ownershihp will be crazy with a monthly plan. Who wants more monthly payments?
• ts1227

  

  The best thing is, regardless of how retarded and redundant to other existing technology this thing is, they will sell tens of millions simply because it's a new Apple.
  
  Stupid people amuse me.
