Now even less of a reason to get the iPad. lol

 

[cammmy]

Sadly, people will still buy it.

So this thing is supposed to be a bridge between cell phones and laptops and it doesn't even have a calculator? I'm really failing to see what good this product is.

 

[Nik_I]

this thing doesn't do anything impressive or anything that can't be done with an iphone or similar device, yet apple is going to sell millions of these to fanbois who are going to line up for days in front of apple stores just to get one. Then as soon as the second generation version which has no new features except for some new useless app, the process repeats...

 

[tayb]

Uh. Expose? This seems like a no brainer. Swipe to the top right or left corner and you see those apps hover over a dimmed background.

There is free versions of these apps on the app store.

 

[husker]

A clock and calculator present "design problems"? Weird.

 

[footsoldier]

I'm not trying to be rude, but honestly, i really dislike apple fanboys. Anyone agree here? They look stupid trying to buy rip off products from apple and still defending how good those products are, while criticising other products without any firm reason.

There are hundreds of free calculators and voice memo apps in the AppStore. I use a free Weather Channel app - much better than the built-in Apple weather app. I don't know about stock apps, but I think there should be a bunch of free apps for that.

 

[serkol]

Free clock apps - there are probably thousands of them. Even I made one (for workouts)

 

[tsnorquist]

To be honest, I wish Windows based OEM's would follow suit and quit loading up all their in house "solutions" - i.e. crapware that slows down pcs.

I think each one of us has had to decrapify, cclean, and or do a fresh install of every OEM machine for family members.

"If you want to have the clock and calculator, simply use your iPhone (sold separately)." It would seem you only get half the package either way you go.

Stocks, Calculator, Clock, Weather and Voice Memos? - There's an app for that! The iPad will ROCK!!!

Hahaha one more reason for everyone to put yet ANOTHER hate message down.

I'm still getting one

Are you mad?

 

[Abrahm]

I'm starting to think this is some kind of social experiment where Jobs tries to make the crappiest product possible and see who he can still trick into buying it... Or maybe it is just a "test of faith" for his followers.

 

[babybeluga]

Hmmm...youtube will be one of the apps?

I guess only the non-flash videos.
