First, anyone have a guess as a unique agent string that could be used to detect an iPad?

Now.. who else here thinks this “device” is 2 years too late, and lacking Too many features?

I think if it had a camera, it could have revolutionized the industry, and become the defacto standard for video confrencing and webcam, both porn and non porn. (I guess it is an add on, which might be good, allow to upgrade to better quality camera, swivel mount, 3rd party etc). Then it would look like something out of a science fiction movie from the early 70’s, talking to a board with a camera etc.

I don’t see why you could have used it with a bluetooth headset to make calls? Yes I wouldn’t put it up to my head to talk, but speakerphone or headset would be nice.

Specs taken from Apples site:
> 9.7-inch (diagonal) LED-backlit glossy widescreen Multi-Touch display with IPS technology
> 1024-by-768-pixel resolution at 132 pixels per inch (ppi)

Compare that with Droid Phone:
* 3.7″; WVGA (480 x 854 pixels); 265 ppi
* 16:9 widescreen

4×3 for the ipad is bad for the movie industry, where laptops, tvs, theaters are going wider and wider.. and then apple says o, we like boxed screens. Now, I wouldn’t want a 16:9 ipad, it would look even more ugly. But, you have to choose, render the movies back to 4:3 to take advantage of the full screen or have the black bars, pretty sure I would want content I’m paying for to be full screen on a device. Now comes the problem, as a production company who has invested heavily into widescreen HD, what to do?

Thoughts? Anyone actually going to stand in line for one?
