lol you had me there for a second!

iDon'tCare

Me too you SOB

reading live on gizmodo now, just waiting for him to get to the announcement!

it's official - the ipad.

actually kinda interested in this thing.. a PC tablet would be quite boring, imo.

edit: it's just a really big ipod touch, looks like. a bit disappointing, i think. i was expecting something with a version of mac os x on it.

I want one already, lol

lol it doesn't have flash. wow.

it'll have flash! i wanna know how much, USB inputs? dvd drive?

the version that jobs is using live doesn't have flash.

innit, so far it looks exactly like that... meh

Depending on price point and specs, I'd probably pick one up for school next year.

flash will become irrelevant with HTML5.

really excited to know what the score will be with software/apps...

steve jobs could be playing with a big iTurd on the stage and the macfanatics would be jizzing their pants

...soooo... no Duke Nukem Forever?

This will not be a replacement for a desktop, it'll probably be less powerful than a laptop, so I imagine this will be good for light music creation/sketching.

What about reasonable people who see this as lighter than a laptop, useful for browsing the net, checking emails, taking notes and consuming media?

no shit. i was more wondering what kind of glorified ipod/iphone app store it'll run with...

ie. will it be tenable to have something like Ableton Lite or will it just be used for various OSC/MIDI/control apps

here we go...

kind of disappointing so far. as of 1:37 its a 9.7" ipod touch

Ableton might be a possibility, it's pretty easygoing on the processor. There are a bunch of fun apps for music making on the iphone that could be developed a little more.

Some sort of tracker would work well I think...

I don't think this type of product is really relevant or useful to that many people

if they included at least *some sort* of haptic feedback on the touch screen, this would be interesting. but they didn't.

maybe it has super high resolution.

maybe the battery lasts for more than 20 hours.

16, 32 or 64gb, that's it? hella weak. does it do anything the iPhone doesn't besides PDFs?
