Why can’t the first version of this iThingy be great? After waiting for so long, the market has to wait for version 3 or 4 to experience all the really cool stuff??

Has Steve Jobs lost his touch? Are those Apple guys now just geezers, past their prime? The iPad is disappointing! This is what I was expecting:

• A hybrid iMac-iPhone or a Macbook Air (detachable keyboard…Check out the Lenovo ideaPad) with 3G!
• 1 centimetre thin!
• Multiple screen sizes, say 6 inches, 10 inches and 17 inches (I want to be able to put it in my pocket sometimes. It should be an alternative to a laptop. Why do I need both??)
• A revolutionary new OS. Apple could have stunned us here! Without this, its just a me-too gadget! Apple shouldn’t do me-toos without changing the game!

The name is boring! Hey guys, all you changed was the ‘o’ and replaced it with an…’a'? Enough with this i-stuff already!

I don’t get it…a big iPhone without the ability to call or send SMS?  If Skype works on the iPad-thing, that would be cool. It doesn’t even have a camera…WHAAAT!

Really, all they needed to do was jazz up the Macbook Air, by adding 3G (have I said that already), borrowing some cool ideas from Bumptop and maybe a 3D display (or am I pushing it here?)

I give Apple an underwhelming 2 out of 10 on this one.
