Ok, we’re taking a break from the whole AIG and Davos insanity. Let’s move on to more joyous news- the iPad! It will change the world and rescue the economy! It will bailout banks! It will explain to Timmy G. what AIG is! While many people speculated on its name being the iTablet, the iSlate, Apple settled on a tampon-sounding moniker for whatever reason. The iPad has a 9.7-inch screen, is half an inch thick and weighs 1.5 pounds, maybe to appeal to female demographics? Reactions across the Web went from “this is the Second coming” to why on earth would I pay $500 for a bigger iPhone?
Thoughts? Also:
Anybody else notice the Subject line's in Steve's "inbox":
-Something fun to do in San Francisco
-Napa Valley
-Ride from the Airport
-BBQ this weekend
-Soccer Updates
This products chances of becoming anything more than niche is about as good as Steve Job's picking up his buddy at the airport.

On the tape:
**OBAMA EXPECTED TO INTIATE AN IPAD TAX ON WALL STREET, "THOSE THAT BUY IPADS WITH TAXPAYER BONUS MONEY REPRESENTS A MISUSE OF TAXPAYER TARPS FUNDS"**
**AN IPAD IS A WASTEFUL USE OF MONEY, AND AS A LUXURY ITEM SHOULD BE SUBJECT TO A 50% TAX RATE**
**OBAMA WILL SPONSOR A IPAD TAX TO PAY FOR AID TO HAITI AND UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE TO ALL HAITIANS**
**OBAMA SAID, "IT IS DESPICABLE THAT AMERICANS ARE BUYING IPADS WHEN THEY ARE BEING FORCLOSED AND REFUSING TO PAY THE HEALTH CARE COSTS AND MORTGAGE PAYMENTS, THEREFORE AMERICANS NEED TO PAY HIGHER TAXES ON THEIR IPAD PURCHASES**

How are consumers in Boston going to be able to pronunciate the difference between iPod and iPad?
I still have no data on the width of the new Apple I-pad, and whether there is a setting to make it vibrate, like my blackberry.
@17 you're trying too hard.

I've been using my own version of "iPad" for my expense accounts for quite some time.

@35…No, it does not.
But, I hear the new version, for men, will have a penile port near the top of the device. Wait 10 months for this upgrade.
It is suggested that you use this port when the iPad is experiencing heavy downloads.

iCream- rub it on your iPhone to get a fully engorged and throbbing iPad.
The Apple backlash starts in 5… 4… 3… 2… 1…
Apple got away with all sorts of shit for years because they put out superior products. Now that they've laid this giant turd out for all to see after months of hype, the halo is history.
AAPL is a SELL.

@84 The iPhone screen quality is enough to jerk to. Just pitch-zoom to pussy. That is exactly why I don't understand why the market needs iPad.
