Apple's latest: The iPad, announced today.

There it is, the iPad. Or as some people are calling it, a giant iPod Touch. Genius! I would expect the same people to see a netbook and say “that’s just a mini laptop.”, in complete disgust aswell. Honestly, why are we comparing this thing to a media player, and then bitching that it doesn’t have the capabilities of your Macbook. IT’S NOT A MACBOOK. IT’S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE.

From my point of view, Apple took a look at your average netbook that does web surfing, email, media, and some word processing. They we’re like “WORD, we can do this way better, with an extremely sexy and flexible device, it’ll be great.” Out came the iPad.

I am a bit baffled by the fact that there is no camera on it, but I wouldn’t be blown away if there is one when it’s actually released, if not on the 2nd gen.

I haven’t looked into things a whole lot, but anyone who is complaining about it being a #fail needs to take a look at the netbook, and realize that it just got pwned by Apple, with the new iPad.

I’m definitely gonna get one of these, but probably will wait til the 2nd gen one is released.
