Apple iPad

I can say i WAS looking forward to this, but without pressure sensitivity, or a real OS this is practically useless to me. Unless, like an industry artist friend of mine said to me, if a bluetooth stylus comes out that simulates pressure with the nib, then I'll buy it.

Without any real image editing application like Photoshop, it's still useless even if it had a pressure-sensitive stylus.

Uh, it has one, what are you smoking?

does it?

It doesn't have a dedicated headphone jack on the main hardware, you need to use the (presumably, included) adapter. Which is just slightly annoying.

iPod is the only good thing apple makes.

iPhones cost to much.

jesus fuck how poor are you?

Maybe it can be used as a tablet for computers?

It probably has speakers.

Right, because everyone can afford a $200 phone and the extra $30/month data plan. Sure

Are you sure?

[klange]

Are you sure?

Specifically says so in the announcement specs. They may have changed it since then, but the ones reviewed on launch day did not have headphone jacks.

e: Also, that jack is noticeably larger than a headphone 1/8" jack. Might be DC power input? That or they have some seriously unnecessary padding going on.

Sensor?

[klange]

Sensor?

It definitely looks like a hole, but when I scale the image to actual size on my display it's at least a millimeter too wide to tightly fit a 1/8" audio line, which is uncharacteristic of Apple products in itself. I dunno, I could be totally wrong on the matter, I just know that the models Engadget, Gizmodo, etc. reviewed did not have dedicated headphone ports.
