It's funny cuz it's true. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

Apple ended up 1% on the day, but this is still hilarious. This is Apple's stock up to the reveal today:

Not a great innovation, at this point, but it doesn't look exactly lame either. I don't have an iPhone, so it looks pretty cool to me. My Legacy

I think so. It's not an amazing leap forward, just a natural step in the direction that computers seem to be going. My Legacy

The tweets are hilarious. The name totally sucks. They really should reconsider.
I have a PowerBook an, iPod Touch and a Kindle, don't want an iPhone. Wondering do I want this or am I just slightly attracted to new and shiny gadgets?  Been gone for a minute, now I'm back with the jump off | |

True dislikes for me:
• No Mac OSX • No ability to run my CS4 Adobe apps • No front-facing camera for video chat • No rear-facing camera • No USB ports for loading/sharing data • No card reader for loading photos while on vacation • No Flash • Max 64GB storage (my iPod classic has 120GB, albeit HDD-based) I think they've left a lot of "room to grow" in this, but a few of the above shoud've been included out of the box, specifically a rear-facing camera and Flash. I'm curious to see what v2.0 looks like. |

They can't reconsider - it's already been advertised and packaging has been made. To rename it would be worse than just letting the name grow on people. |

Don't they test the names around the office or with selected before they decide on them? I thought some of the predicted names were better than iPad. Maybe licensing issues or whatever but I didn't think this would be the final pick. Been gone for a minute, now I'm back with the jump off | |

"Pod" has always had more strange connotations, IMOMy Legacy

I can't fucking wait. 
SAN FRANCISCO – Apple CEO Steve Jobs has unveiled the iPad, a tablet-style computer that resembles the iPhone, but larger. "It's so much more intimate than a laptop and so much more capable than a smart phone," Jobs said Wednesday at the device's highly anticipated debut in San Francisco. Jobs demonstrated how the iPad is used for surfing the Web with Apple's Safari browser. He typed an e-mail using an on-screen keyboard and flipped through photo albums by flicking his finger across the screen. The CEO says the iPad will also be better for reading books, playing games and watching video than either a laptop or a smart phone. No price or information on availability was immediately announced. Now Apple will have to convince consumers, many of whom already have Internet-connected phones, computers and TVs, that that's the case. Tablet computers have existed for a decade, with little success. Shares in Apple fell $4.65, or 2.3 percent, to $201.29 in afternoon trading Wednesday. The Cupertino, Calif.-based company's shares have more than doubled over the past year, partly on anticipation of the tablet computer. | |
