cabron Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 (edited) With the announcement that Apple will be offering a tablet computer this coming Wednesday. Are u planning to buy one? I would probably buy one if the price is right. If not I will skip it. Edited January 25, 2010 by cabron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Dick Montage Subscriber² Posted January 25, 2010 Subscriber² Share Posted January 25, 2010 Pointless thread... We don't know pricing, what it will do, what it's purpose is yet. Nobody in their right mind is going to blindly say yes at this point. Moreover, there has not been any official announcement regarding a tablet launch on Wednesday! cmc482 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudy Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 I'll be buying one, at first I was buying one just because I wanted to port my game to it but now I'm getting pretty excited about it. The fact that I am waiting for 2 iPhones 3Gs to replace my HTC Magic phones might be helping the excitement too :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Markus Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 wait three days with this thread, then we'll see alright..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deactivated01032015 Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 (edited) Until details about the pricing and specifications are revealed it's hard to say Yes or No. One can only speculate. Even though, I think that price tag will be quite high, somewhere in the line of Macbook Pro for much lower specs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Growled Member Posted January 25, 2010 Member Share Posted January 25, 2010 I'm not buying anything until I know more about it, including pricing and specs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scazza Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Unless you know something anyone outside Apple doesn't, this thread should of waited until the announcement on Wednesday, as like others have said, everything is just rumours. Apple hasnt offiically announced that they are making a tablet. This is why I created the thread I made this morning for people to discuss what could be announced. For people to say yes, I am buying one, I dont see how they have made their mind up and can say yes. As its all speculation, price and specs and the actual Tablet is yet to be announced. If Apple unveal the Tablet on Wednesday and say its going to be $2,000 have a 900mhz processor, 512mb ram, 10GB HDD and will only be able to process simple maths, I doubt anyone will buy one, even the most avid Apple Fan Boy! So until price, specs & the actual Tablet is announced my answer is I really don't know yet :) deactivated01032015 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabron Posted January 25, 2010 Author Share Posted January 25, 2010 I know that everything is rumors but what it's true about the tablet it's that It will be running iPhone OS which make this device at a price tag between $400 to $800 dollars.

How do we KNOW this is gonna run iPhone OS? How do we KNOW it's going to be released Weds? How does the OS have the remotest relevance to price? You are guessing and grabbing at straws. It makes me laugh that you say that you applied for a CIA job when you make such ridiculous assumptions. Anyhow, I have some magic beans you may be interested in...

It is hard to predict a price based just on OS. You have to take a bigger screen, better system specs and much more into the account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Dick Montage Subscriber² Posted January 25, 2010 Subscriber² Share Posted January 25, 2010 http://www.appleinsi...one_os_3_2.htmlEnjoy yourself! Yes, lovely read. I will ask the same questions again: How do we KNOW this is gonna run iPhone OS?How do we KNOW it's going to be released Weds? How does the OS have the remotest relevance to price?

Yep, like others have said. All speculation and clutching of straws! No evidence or pictures to prove anything about the tablet. Just sit back, laugh and enjoy the rumours until Wednesday. Then everyone can go wild and decide whether they will purchase an Apple Tablet once the specs, price & release date has been annouced. As tbh I honestly dont think this will be ready for release on the day of annoucement, hoping Apple prove me wrong though :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkanius Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Thought about the Tablet again. I have basically been seeing it has a big iPod Touch. But if I can have a great note taking application for science (Formulas etc) and a way to back them up to my MacBook/PC, oh boy, I'm so getting one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forster Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Ill buy one, if I dont nobody will like me, talk to me, hang out with me or drink with me. People will spit at me in the street if I dont have the latest Apple iGadget and they'll all shout and jeer at me, nobody will serve me or my family in shops, we will be thrown out of our respective houses and have to live on the street in the gutter, or down in the sewers like rats. Our lives would be over. If I dont buy one I might as well just end my life right now instead of going through all the heartache of seeing others with something that I dont have. And I SERIOUSLY hope that my sarcasm isnt wasted... I mean seriously, WTF is it with the media and everyone eating up this iTablet story, if it doesnt get announced loads of people are going to be 'disappointed' because a rumour that they heard or read on the internet that has no credibility in the real world came true. Get over yourselves, and that's not just to people drooling over something that might not exist here, but to everyone here at work, to all the cretins in the media and everywhere else. LEAVE ME ALONE!! :shifty: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0nyX Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Well you can change the title.It is called iPad. http://www.apple.com/ipad/ http://www.apple.com/ipad/specs/ No, i am not planning on buying one because i cant see the use of it.Its just a more powerfull and bigger ipod touch and certainly not a tablet PC. So... No thx. I'll pass on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forster Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 The next iteration should be sweet, and hopefully it will take these devices in a direction not dissimilar to the impact the iPhone had. Is that a good thing? Only time will tell. I just dont see that many good features that I would use, Id rather go back to using an iPhone as it does more (camera, phone, etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
