I have never said this before but apple beyond droped the ball on this one. No flash are you focking joking? http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/27/a...om-your-couch/. A device centered around the multimedia experience with no focking browser flash support? Did Apple not look at the Stats at just how much flash content is on the web? At 499 if it had flash support I would have been all over this device. You could have tied it to google voice I bet and had one kick ass MIDI. Voice, movies, flash media. OOOO but wait its tied to ATT network and we know ATT doesnt want flash support on its network because of the strain it would place on the network if available.
It would appear no multi tasking for Ipod either as this unit did not have multi tasking. It amazes me that Palm WebOs has multitasking but apple fails. ? Maybe its comming.
However I believe Vic will possibly be able to use this as he thought about. Because Iwork will be available. So it would appear http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/27/a...work-for-ipad/ |
I'm with ya, brother. It's pretty much the maxiPad.
Coupled with logmein, it'd kick ass and I think it'd still be great for Vic at work, but no phone. No multitasking.
I'm clueless. I guess they thought grab some of that Amazon Kindle money? Nice movies?
It's just a big iPod Touch.
I'm sure I'll order the 16gb when they're ready and feel it out and see what I can do with it. If it's as cool as I hope, I'll get the $829 3G version after that and give the 16gb wifi to my daughter.
I don't even have 3G where I live, but I do everywhere I go.
It was a huge letdown for me, too, but I can definately see it as an awesome reader and web tool, and I absolutely hate laptops (always did), so I'm probably in the 1% of people who actually care, even though I'm very let down by the shortcomings.
It'll definately need hacked. No doubt.
