Technically it does run Mac OS - kinda.  It pretty much uses iPhone OS which is based on OSX from what I understand. :shrug:





Welcome back, haven't seen you around here for a while.  The iphone OS is NOT osx.  :lol:  not even fucking close.  I've got an imac and an iphone.  There's no comparison between the two.  The iphone os is not customizable unless you jailbreak it.  You can move the icons around but that's about it.  plus there's no multi-tasking or flash support and you can't add just anything you want to it without jailbreaking it either.  There are simply too many limitations to make that claim.

I assume this will be a free update? Or are the people who just bought this thing fucked now?

Of course it's happening inside your head.
Why should that mean it isn't real?

the ipad doesn't have widescreen?  I mean you cant turn it horizontal to use the wider screen?  The OS updates are free.  Or have been free in the past.

They should have called it giant iTouch but worse. Or iPoop, apparently it's the ultimate shitter read. That's the #1 use I'd want it for, replacing all the old magazines next to my toilet. Oh wait, those were $12.95 for a year's worth..

Nah I'm pretty sure most of behind-the-scenes foundation(s) that makes it......is basically OS 10.

Its stripped down and way less featured...but come on its a cell-phone operating system. :shrug:




Quote:

"iPhone OS (known as OS X iPhone or iPhone OS X in its early history) is a mobile operating system developed and marketed by Apple Inc. It is the default operating system of the iPhone, the iPod Touch, and the iPad.

It is derived from Mac OS X, with which it shares the Darwin foundation, and is therefore a Unix-like operating system by nature. iPhone OS has four abstraction layers: the Core OS layer, the Core Services layer, the Media layer, and the Cocoa Touch layer. "

I think the iPhone was a revolutionary device, and extrapolating it to a larger screen format is the logical next step.  Ultimately, high powered processing incorporated into such thin/small devices with attractive and sensitive touch screens presents a practically limitless array of suitable applications.  It is exciting, and Apple being at the front of the curve gives them a major competitive advantage. 

I'd wager that the reason the iPad doesn't include some of the bells and whistles such as a camera, usb, internet tethering, etc; is because they wanted to keep the retail price of the product low enough that they would still retain hundreds of thousands of early adopters.  They sold some 300,000 their first day out, and I'd bet there's a lot more folk just waiting for the 3G version to come out, for which they will pay Apple even more money including a monthly connection charge.

As I'm a bit of a spend-thrift, I'm not one to jump on as an early adopter.  If history is any guide, it's obvious that a more refined product will soon be available for those willing to wait a year or two.  But that doesn't mean that I don't want one!  I think the iPad could be very useful not only for use on the pot, but in school, while traveling, for anytime entertainment, as well as in businesses such as healthcare, law firms, real estate firms, etc.

I also find it impressive that Apple had the foresight to acquire a mobile advertising firm.  If they can effectively integrate a proprietary advertising platform (think "iAd") into their mobile products, they could capture an exceptionally lucrative revenue stream that is currently dominated by Google, who stands to lose a considerable amount of market share to Apple if the plan works out.  In fact, with a successful enough ad platform, Apple can subsidize price and begin offering products such as the iPad for lower costs than any competitor with a comparable product.

I caught a double on Apple stock back during the iPhone release days.  I got back in at around $210 a couple months ago, and added to the position recently at $235.  I would like to add again on weakness!

IDK. I could use it for a tray to hold my beer and draw on it at the same time.

you know what i did in english class? I came to class stoned out of my mind every day, i chugged vodka in the back of class, i put dead fish in the ceiling tiles. i put a gallon of old milk and orange juice in the file cabinet before winter vacation. i brought snakes in a tied up sweater and let them loose during class. i didnt go to school to learn, i went because i had to. i didnt care, and i didn't fucking listen to that stupid bitch. and i still don't fucking care. i tore the pages out of her books and burned them, and threw away all the books in the class, two books per day.  :twobooks:
