By other platforms I meant the various consoles. When console games start doing the same you can either put up with it or not. Ranting on the internet about it is not going to change that.

Well, that was kind of underwhelming.

They gave everything up for Shepard.

I'm still pissed that I couldn't figure out how to start Tactics with a deathclaw character

Why would you bring it up here then? It's clearly a premium++ item while the iPad is at least trying to be affordable to normal people.

I have a netbook for that. You get multitasking, ports, flash and ~5h battery life. Also it's way cheaper.

Well, it's Apple's answer to the Amazon Kindle and a way into the ebook market. E-ink displays are still way better for reading, though. Secondly it's the thing that you have keep around in your home that you use to read the news in the morning at the table, surf the web on the couch and watch a movie while in bed or whatever else you can think of. That's what I'm thinking at least, no one is going to lug it around as an ipod and it's not a full-fledged computer either.

I caught some of the overwhelming hype from here and there. This won't revolutionize tablet computing, it's just big iPod Touch. Which isn't exactly a bad thing, but this time the expectations were way higher than the final product. I guess my problem is that I can do everything it does with my Touch, just on a smaller screen. Oh and speaking of screens, who thought that making it 4:3 was a good idea?

It will have a memory card adapter that goes into the dock port. I was expecting a full OSX tablet. Not that I would buy either version. This seems more like something that you keep on your coffee table or nightstand to read news/books and watch movies/TV shows instead of something you lug around everywhere.

Just ignore the crazy people with their crazy speculation. The truth comes in 9h.

As always it comes down to how much you want to play whatever game that has it. That or just move to another platform.

Oh you people and your vague threats. The average person doesn't care and the pirates will just walk over all over it.

Looking forward to it.

The third generation Shuffle was worse

Something about an underwater city, I think.

I wasn't planning to. Geez, everyone's a critic.

If wishes were wings...

@mkreku: Why? Not even tech geeks pay $2000 for their computers. Don't miss the incredibly douchy introduction video.

I am. Only the 10''+ ones with human-sized keyboards, though.

It's pretty much standard in most Apple things by now, even the laptops have it. Also it's a digital compass in case there was any confusion. It helps with the GPS navigation, which is only in the WiFI+3G models.

Apparently it has no multitasking, so it is basically a giant iPhone. Also no flash in Safari:

In case you missed it, the biggest event of the decade just happened, Apple announced the iPad: ~10 hours of battery. 10'' 1024x768 screen Accelerometer, compass, speaker and mic. 1GHz CPU. 16, 32, or 64GB of flash storage. 802.11n, 3G(AT&T) and Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR.

The moment we've all been waiting for, Bayonetta

All Valve's games do that as well. That's the least of this system's problems.
