NOT!
 
#2 Schools. These things would be awesome as 'desks'. I know a lot of you have read ender's game and I really think these would be useful as a teaching aid and even a text book replacement. The units are relatively cheap and are prefectly setup to transition to a classroom after a slight price drop (maybe 250-300 would be the perfect price for a replacement).

BINGO!

most people here hate college and have never been. I hate hate hate paying $150 for a stupid book. now many schools are already contracted to have books on Ipads and give them to students. it sould lower the cost tremendously.

this thing is an expensive e-reader. it's supposed to be a movie and book tool.


why is this guy bitching about this? it's clearly mislabled. and he's an idiot to think it would be just $499 OTD. obviously there is tax and add ons. moron.

if anything this will spur android tablets to come out with all the missing features at half the price. and it may also get more video sites to switch to HTML 5 rather than flash. but only time will tell.
 
He cheats and takes the aluminum back off.

And he is a braver man than I to be breathing all that shit in after he blends it.
 
there will be several brands to come out with superior products to the iPad... but regardless of how much more shit they can do that the iPad cant do... they will never be able to get the hollywood star and hipster crowd... so they will never achieve the level of "cool" that the iPad has by default because it is an Apple product... Apple fanbois will eat up whatever nugget of shit Steve Jobs can squeeze out and slap a logo on

the competing products, in addition to having more functionality, are also almost always more fairly priced... this looks like a good idea to the manufacturer... but in actuality hurts them, because the lower price makes it less of a "status symbol"... how can one look cool and brag about having something that anyone can afford and justify spending money on... buying reasonably priced products that offer good value and function does not make you a "baller"
 
oddly, the HP is more expensive than apple

on the surface it might look that way... but if you compare them in equal trim

.... slightly more expensive price tag for the 16GB model ($549, versus $499 for the 16GB iPad) — although, to be fair (and if the leaked specs are true), the $549 16GB Slate might come with a SIM tray, whereas the equivalent 3G-enabled iPad will set you back $629.

It's wore than that, HP will probably include many of the accessories that apple charges extra for. USB adaptor, stand, memory upgrade, etc.
