I'm really surprised there isn't a pre-order facility on apple.com/ie considering the iPad will be in stores on Friday.

cojomo2

Can't really understand people buying an iPad. Surely just gte the iPhone (smaller) or just buy a proper laptop.


iPad is a bigger iPod Touch as far as I'm concerned. Sorry. And yes..I've used one. Mate got on in America... he hasn't been using it as much lately I noticed

Personally, I'm getting an iPad so I have something that is lightweight to use when travelling so I can upload photos onto it, use as an e-book reader and for checking emails, web surfing etc.

I don't have an iPhone or iPod Touch and the price of a netbook + kindle (or similiar) is the same range as an iPad. The iPad is lighter and less kit to carry around plus with a much better screen for viewing photos.

Who in their right mind would spend any extended time on an iPod touch browsing or watching videos etc. It's a bit like saying a portable tv is as good as a plasma.

Browsing is so much faster on the iPad than the iPod touch, the screen is better, the screen is more responsive.......... I could go on. I've had mine since May and a day hasn't gone by that I haven't used it. My iPod touch hasn't been used since I got the iPad.

It's up to the individual if they want to buy one or not, and I've no problem with people not wanting one or not even liking them. It does get tiring though reading comments that are incorrect and misleading.

Picked mine up in the states 15 weeks ago now, it's been probably the best thing I have bought. As someone who spends a lot of time in airports and on planes it's been a great way of passing time.

Sit in the lounge and use the wifi and while on the plane I watch either a tv show or movie I Downloaded.

Even my wife likes the thing and my 3 year old loves the kids apps. So all in all it fits nicely into our house.

i have an iphone, but when at college i have no computer. I'm getting one to fill the gap of a laptop and I'll teather it to my iphone with mywi.

One thing it's not is a big iPod touch and the amount of people who have used mine say this... My iPhone is now used for making calls and texting while at home where as 15 weeks ago you couldn't get it out of my hand now it sits on the island in the kitchen when I get home.

The more people over the next few weeks who get their hands on one will end up buying one.

For me the only thing it shares with the iPod touch is the iPod part after that they are chalk and cheese.

Going to Liffey PC World to get mine so excitied. Leaving the house at 7:30am with 600 cash in my pocket and getting pushed by my aunty "In a wheel chair" If you see me come up and say hi and i'll take a photo haha :cool: Suppsoed to go to CompUB but since no guarrantee + pre-order liffey has a better chance for me. Anyone see the retards on TV3 at 5:30 just a big iPod touch :eek: Grabbing my DSLR + tele photo lens + a iPhone 3G + my mifi connection
