greenday-rulz21 4 Report post Posted January 27, 2010 Thats pretty cool! It doesn't have a phone in it though, and for the highest spec it is similarly priced to the highest spec iPhone here in NZ. Pretty expensive PDA I would have thought. But I think its Badass. Would have one in a heartbeat. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carl 3 Report post Posted January 27, 2010 Personally it's not exactly original, little bit like recycling the iphone, but i'm probably biased as I can't find a need for such a device. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bravo 34 Report post Posted January 27, 2010 I think it's unfair to compare it to an iphone or PDA. It's closer to a netbook, in which case it's fairly competitively priced. Sure it's low-end netbook specs, but its fairly high on features. I'd consider one if it had more storage space, or usb to external ability. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would be interesting to hear from a first hand account on what it is like. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Simon* Report post Posted January 27, 2010 Wi-Fi models shipping in late March. 3G models shipping in April. Doesn't even come with wi-fi first up? Surprising Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
simke 0 Report post Posted January 27, 2010 No multitasking, so its pretty much useless IMHO. What is the point of having a tablet (which I guess is meant to replace a notebook) if you can only run one application at once. Doesn't seem to offer much more functionality than an iPod Touch or iPhone. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

M3_Power 636 Report post Posted January 27, 2010 Basically a giant iPhone without the phone .... As bizzar and pointless of a gadget as it maybe it is still cool for some odd reason and i don't even own an iPhone haha .. But this is the thing with Apple - they always release their products in stages - they always take away or leave out certain specifications just so they can release another version with it. It gives them the ability to sell the same product multiple times !! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bimmer boy 21 Report post Posted January 27, 2010 So pointless but I must have it, even though I have a iPhone. The Apple guys arnt stupid it will be awesome, on order now haha Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Driftit 1951 Report post Posted January 27, 2010 Yeah after reading more about them the MS version looks far more appealing to me. The dual screens will mean multi-tasking. Camera. Better integration with office computers and software (mostly PC's). And the best part of all. You don't have to wear ball crushing tight jeans and hang out in a Ponsonby Cafe'.

I have - Blackberry,Work Desktop,Home Desktop,Work Laptop for Travelling. Can't see where this would fit in, Has a few good functions but is missing a few such as USB etc IMO. Be interesting to see how they take off Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
