I had a chance to go to a mac store the other day after my lunch and I got to try out the iPad. I thought it was really cool! You can play games on the huge screen or you can make them tinier as if your were playing on the ipod Touch. They have tons of funs games like rockband, plants vs zombies, nba live, great web surfing abilities and I thought was very cool! I want to know what you guys think of it...

It's cool... but hardly practical. Bit too big. Bit if I was rich, I'd get one.

I don't buy anything Apple makes. Not because I have a problem with the company I just think its all overpriced and I have no need for it.

It's like most Apple products a lot of pretty but no substance for too much money.

So far, the people I've seen rocking iPads are very attractive.

It's neat but not practical in any way, shape of form for any prolonged use. It's more of a quick use item which a laptop can do. It's just a cool gadget to screw around with. Nothing more.

It's neat and all but I would never buy one. If someone gave me one for free that would be alright.

Oversized iPod/10. I probably wouldn't get one even if I had the money for it.

I am pretty sure that the iPad has a widescreen, I saw one, it is a pretty big screen. Oh and you forgot something: Lag iPad= X Netbook= √ Fun iPad= √ Netbook= X

It is not subjective if it is true and because the netbook is laggy.

It is not subjective if it is true and because the netbook is laggy.

It is subjective if it is your opinion. Provide facts on how the Netbook is not fun and than it won't be subjective

If it being laggy is what makes it not fun for you than you shoulden't use lag as another negative point and just keep it confined to one check

My mom got one a week or two ago and I think it's pretty cool. If I had the money I probably wouldn't get one though.

Where is the "Useless piece of junk" option? I mean come on, it is just a bigger iTouch for twice the price. Apple fanboys just blindly follow and buy everything Apple throws at them.

It's a gigantic, overpriced iphone that doesn't fit in your pocket and can't make calls.

You can play games on the huge screen or you can make them tinier as if your were playing on the ipod Touch. They have tons of funs games like rockband, plants vs zombies, nba live, great web surfing abilities and I thought was very cool! I want to know what you guys think of it...

I am saying you are using 1 negative to make 2 negative checks You checked against the Netbook Fun & Laggy yet you only said it isn't fun because it is laggy If you are going to use laggy already why try to use it as a backup for why it isn't fun as well In the long run it doesn't matter to me really just thought it was funny that you did that Doesn't make Apple products any cheaper or worth it IMO considering the price difference on the iPad and Netbook

I have one and I love it. Having internet that fast anywhere you go is wonderful. It's really fast and has a beautiful presentation. Primarily, I use it as an eReader and I love it. The hate is pretty silly -- we're all gamers here, we all like shiny, cool technology. Everyone should at least admit the iPad is pretty neat.

Because he agrees with you and others do not? Whether I game or not I do not appreciate expensive toys that don't really have anything extra.

I am not making 1 check for two negative checks. It is like I saying, oh my crappy netbook broke down so it breaks down easier and it takes longer to get back from the shop you would say, you would say It only goes to the shop because it broke down so you are making one check for two negative checks...

For $500 it is not "pretty neat". It's more like "giant waste of money" You can get an iTouch, that does EVERYTHING the iPad does for 1/3 of the price. Why on earth anyone would buy such an overpriced gadget is beyond me.

I think in the long run that part of our conversation is becoming to much of a mind**** to continue :) We both will just get lost in our own paragraphs of gibberish

He has a right to converse on the subject. If differing opinions bother you I'd recommend not making threads about opinions.
