Today Apple launched its much awaited ipad, which is now being sold for $499. which I think is a bit too high for Indian consumers, after so much delay I got this video of Apple ipad which looks like  a big brother of iphone and looks sleek and in a way it will give a real good competition for current laptops and Netbooks that are there in the market. Have a look for yourself and give your views like how this ipad will fare against the laptops and netbooks that are there in the market. OR will we see the end of laptops?

Predictions are coming true. This small machine has all in one, became small, thin and slick. One wanted this, now  may not ignore it.

Price may come down soon and the I-pad may rule the next few years.

No, I don't think so that ipad will replace laptops or netbooks, even I was following very keenly the launch of ipad which had created so much buzz.  And $499 is too costly for one, though looks good and sleek, I really thought the ipad will be something great, but this version of ipad is not having a video camera and multi-tasking is a bit problem in this version, and they surely are no match for laptops and netbooks, also laptops have greater storage capacity of data, and many more advantages than current ipad, but the next versions with relevant tweaks here and there ipad looks good.

Convergence of technologies is the buzz on one platform.The only hitch is size and its handiness and it if it can facilitated to wrap in few inches to easily move in pocket, it will turn out to be "devil".

I think yes, infront of this ipad laptops looks old fashioned now, and it will be really successfull, not only for computing purposes this ipad also acts as a phone where 3G services and wi-fi connections is made  possible and currently in US there through AT&T they are releasing it. and this also acts as a e-book and will really give a tough competition to Amazon's kindle which is leading interms of e-books, so Steve jobs has created another brilliant product from the stable of Apple. With thousands of applications supporting this ipad, will make all the more reason to own one.

i think its a cool device but again it is something like nano which will make buzz but will not gain the expected market bcz though it is light and touch free but still taking over laptops is quite difficult as it is just a new product not an alternative.It lacks various features in comparision to laptops.

Mixed reaction from the community, Apple does real great work with the UI and some features which enhance  the overall user experience .That said, iphone , ipod 's etc .. were very successful in their markets but htis one just seems a bigger version of an ipod .

Nice to see the embedded devices take all over us , but laptops will surely survive and have a place of their own .The point i feel is when Google Chrome OS starts running on the smallest of devices is when we will see some real competition happen not just with the features of devices (touch screen size , camera's etc...) but with the total impact they have on our time spent  "digitally " 

anyone which is fast, has useful apps , and a good UI will take away on us once again !!

 In my opinion an ipad cannot replace laptops why because many techies believe that the Apple ipad has failed to live up to the expectations. No doubt it is a good looking electronic gadget but it lacks basic features. The tablet PC does not support flash Safari, awaited by the users. It does not support full GPS. The device does not have a built camera. It does not run a real OS, does not multi-task, offers no longer facility which can be do much more with netbook that is probably less than the price. The tablet PC uses encryption the same way as it is used on iphone, the data will not be protected. Other concerns include no user replaceable battery, no HDMI (High-definition multimedia interface) support, and no USB port.
