“The 12 Days AFTER Christmas” Giveaway: Day 41 – A Wacom Bamboo Fun Pen and Touch tablet
This contest is closed. Congrats to faithful Macenstein reader Mark.
On the Forty-First Day After Christmas, Macenstein gave to you (or, more accurately, gave you a chance to win…) Bamboo Fun Pen and Touch tablet from Wacom!
Bamboo Fun lets you get hands-on with your creative projects, combining the benefits of Multi-Touch with the comfort and precision of Wacom’s ergonomically-designed pen.
With Multi-Touch, you can navigate, scroll, and work with simple hand gestures. With the tablet’s large touch area, you have more room to navigate than you do with other touch devices like computer trackpads and mobile phones.
Need precision? Pick up the pressure-sensitive pen to draw, sketch, edit photos, and add handwritten elements to your creations. The generous size of Bamboo Fun gives you lots of space for creative freedom, making it simple and comfortable to use.
Bamboo Fun works with your existing computer: desktop or laptop, PC or Mac. Attach it to a standard USB port and set it comfortably by your keyboard. You can even customize your Bamboo Fun experience by assigning your own shortcuts to the four ExpressKeys™.
Available in a stylish silver color, Bamboo Fun will complement your current setup. And it includes valuable additions that make it ideal for your creative projects.
To enter: Boy, it seems these day people can’t get enough of Multi-touch tablets! And speaking of tablets, we’d like to know, What do you think of Apple’s new iPad? Will you buy one? Winners will be picked randomly 7 days later and notified (kind of like in The Ring, only with less killing… we hope). Open to ALL READERS WORLD-WIDE. Good luck, and thanks for reading Macenstein! (Oh, and be sure to enter ALL our “12 Days AFTER Christmas” Giveaways!)
Please note: Comments may take a while to show up, please do not double-post. Thanks!

It could have been better…..but it’s still awesome. If i have the money in May, I’ll get one. No doubt.
I think it would be cool to have one but can’t justify $500 to get the same functionality as my ipod touch
I might buy one, but most likely will configure and set a lot of them up for a Hospital. Replacing their infected Windows netbooks.
Well, it’s seemingly just a giant version of my ipod touch, so I don’t really see the point yet. I’m gonna hold out to see how this thing develops before I plunk down any cash.
I like it, but i wont buy this generation one.
Can’t really find what I could use it for…
I won’t buy one
i’m intrigued… think it has a place in the market… though not necessarily in my living room
I like it. I am waiting for more access to information. Like actually seeing the iBooks book store. I am considering getting one.
I sure will… it’s like having a giant iPod touch. Can it get more fun than that?
awesome device. I will get one. But not the first gen.
it isnt profitable enough, could do much more things as it does.
The iPad is nice, but lacking many features I was looking forward to. I’m not going to buy the 1st gen, but maybe the 2nd will become more than an oversized iPod Touch.
I will buy an iPad the second it is running a full OS X.
I’ll be waiting for the second or third rev of the iPad. As it is, I think it is a bit overpriced for what it is capable of…a netbook that costs $200 (or more) less can do so much more! I’ll be finally getting my first iPhone this summer (to replace my current crap Nokia/ 2nd gen iPod Touch combo).
Certainly
I think it has a lot of potential. Hopefully the next OS for it will be redesigned to take advantage of the screen size. It seems like there should be a lot of features you can implement there that wouldn’t work on the iPhone- Apple’s own apps like mail may be the best argument for that.
I love Apple’s new creation! And I want one!! But I’m not sure if I’ll actually buy one…
I don’t think i will buy it…not right now, i wanna watch how it works and iPad evolution in a couple years…
hell yeah …. I wold buy an iPad … it’s so much fun … yey !!!
I’ll buy an iPad if and when my iPod classic dies. By then I figure the price will come down and the storage will be big enough for my uses. Bazinga!
I’ll more than likely buy one. Let’s wait and see what it’s actually like when it becomes available.
Woohoo! Finally I can win something from a Site from the US (I’m from Switzerland)! W00T…
Well, I was expecting a bit more to be honest (multitasking, camera (!!!) and another lockscreen)…
But I’m getting one anyway! Probably the wifi only 64 Gb version. I’m sure there’ll be a way to use the iPhone as a modem for the iPad.
Really hope this type of device will take off….
cheers
The ipad would be a good replacement for my iPod touch. But I’ll wait since my touch is still less than a year old.
I will buy one, but not till gen 2 come out.
I’m kind of on the fence, but who am I kidding, I’ll probably buy one.
Was hoping for something based off of OSX and not the iPhone OS, more of a computer than a “device”. Will probably get one for the old people in my life
Thinking about version 2 right now.
hmm as the 1st version look to be like I don’t want 1… bur if it get a cam, multitasking and I can get my book for study on it. it will end up being the best tool for school, with all in 1… no more books to carry no need for paper and with the keyboard thing it will be able to easy take notes… ofc will be nice with flash.
So when that day come where I get what I want I will buy one
Did I win?
It is intriguing. Most of the issues I have are software related, and I imagine the next gen of OS will address much of that (like how iPhone OS3 finally made the iPhone awesome instead of just good). I imagine I will buy one someday. I imagine most everyone will have something like it at some point in the future.
I’ll probably buy one, but will wait for a camera to be included.
If they release a normal OS X version, I’ll buy it in a heartbeat. I’ve always felt the same way as a lot of people: it’s too big to fit in your pocket and too small to get any work done on it. Plus it’s the iPhone OS. Yuck.
I like it. Like the original iPod, it’s simple, but is kind of a blank slate so to speak. It will be interesting to see how it evolves. I want one, but don’t need it, so I’ll probably wait.
Some features need to be clarified, but so far I think I’ll buy one. It’s a convergence of media and I like to travel light. What I really do hope for is being able to read .pdf files (via iBooks maybe). And if I can use it for presentations at work, it’ll worth the money. With 3G, I’m probably among the internet junkie that the news paper were talking about.
I’m not buying it. For me, it’s useless
It’s very nice but I will wait for the second version.
I’m still not sure if I’ll buy one. If it only had a front facing camera it’d be such an easy decision.
I’ll have to see it and its apps before making a decision on buying one.
It’s a disappointment. No I won’t buy one.
well, i will buy it after i bought an imac first.
I’m intrigued, but I’ll let them work the kinks out a bit before taking the plunge.
Yes I think I will, only because I don’t think I can help myself! My parents are headed to the US in August so I’m gonna get them to pick me up either the 16GB or 32GB Wi-Fi + 3G model, depending on my financial situation at the time.
It’s shiny and wonderful, and I think I want one. But, like the iPhone, I’ll probably wait until the second or third models before I make the leap and buy one.
Not really interested, doesn’t add enough of OSX to be as useful as a notebook nor it adds enough to replace my iPhone.
Oh yes. The iPad is actually something I’ve been trying to get for a while. If it works as well as is hinted not only will it be handy for multi-media fun, but for wandering my store and doing various inventory management tasks it will be nice.
I am holding off because rumor has it the iPad will be the giveaway for the 12 days AFTER Christmas day 99.
If I don’t win one on the 137th Day Of Christmas, sure I’ll buy one. I develop apps for Mac and iPhone, and I believe the iPad is the next big thing.
Yup, the 32gig hits the sweet spot in the budget. My wife says that it’s perfect for her. It takes care of all of her computing needs, and she’s next in line for a new computer. I’m addicted to Need for Speed on my iPhone, so she may have to pry that iPad out of my hands once I get that app.
At first, the iPad announcement was a bit underwhelming to me. But, after really thinking about what I do every day, it kind of began to seem somewhat “essential” to me. With what I do most of the time, it’s going to more-than-cover my work.
I will definitely be getting one…just not sure what flavor yet.
Waiting for the price in Europe..
I think it’s perfect for so many people…like my wife. So yeah, we’ll grab one eventually.
I think it’s great, and will likely be getting my hands on one. At first blush it looks like something that will really encourage things like comics and event graphic-heavy technical books to move to a more ‘e’ friendly model.
I would take one, if they build in a USB-Port or Card-Reader. That would be awesome to watch fresh taken pics.
Forget e-books. I want mine with (hopfully an iPad vesion of) Reeder app for my RSS feeds. Now that’s my version of a newspaper!
It’s greater than we can imagine – I will buy 2 of them.
One for my parent who reallly don’t understand anything about computers and so desperately want to be a part of their grandchildren´s lives, and one for my family to enjoy in the tv room (tv remote, dictionary, game device, e-mail centre etc…).
It’s going to be great to get rid of the macbook pro in the tv sofa…
hope to get one by the end of the year.
It’s a good product, i thinks but don’t know if i will buy one …
No. I might consider it, if my area had 3G, but living in bumfukt egypt, we’ll never see that shit. So, my iphonizzle is all I need. At home, I have no problem firing up my 17# MBP. Maybe, just maybe, after 2 or 3 iterations of the iPad, then, maybe. I’d rather get a netbook and Hackintosh it.
I won’t buy one until iPad is a Tablet MacBook Pro, with all the connectivity and power I need. I cannot do without Firewire and an Expresscard slot. I may get my work to buy a couple as we currently use iPod Touches for communication and meeting planning.
The iPad will revolutionnise the publishing industry at the equivalent of the revolution the iPod created for music.
I’m waiting for Apple to send me THE e-mail telling me they can get pre-orders !
The iPad is cool, but I do agree with others that Apple could have made it better. I may get one with my tax return.
I think it would be cool to have one, but I don’t have a particular need or use for one at this time. If I buy one, it might be for development.
I like it, but I think I’m going to save my pennies for a MacBook Pro instead.
I go back and fourth on buying one. As of right now I am planning on waiting for the 2nd or 3rd generation.
It looks like it will be useful and will be able to fill a small niche. I’ll probably get one, though I would like to play around with one before, just so I know what I’m getting.
Maybe after the 2nd hardware update…
Having a MBP and a iPhone, I don’t see the point in buying an iPad.
This is going to be the next big thing. The iPad has the potential, and it will be the product that starts the next computer era. In a year from now people will be saying a netbook, what’s a netbook. Apple and the Developers can make the iPad into anything they want it to be.
It’s not too great. I’d get a Modbook before I got an iPad.
My initial reaction was a little disappointed, however that has evolved into a very impressed and optimistic view of what is surely to become a new icon and revolution in devices. Yes, I’ll be getting one for sure, probably more for my wife right now. Just not sure on which model I want. Of course, I NEED the top model with 3G, but not sure what I want . . . . wait, reverse that . . . . maybe
i’ll wait for the 2nd generation before deciding, i really think they missed the sweet spot on this one. If I wanted an ipod touch, i’d buy a normal sized one. They really needed to have that thing running OSX … it should have been a screen-only Macbook with a couple of REAL ports on it like USB, not just that dock port.
It shows promise, but too limited IMO.
Nice. But I don’t need it
I’m still waiting for the camera-equipped iPod Touch before I buy, and then I need to get a new laptop – by which point my main work machine will need upgrading. As the iPad can’t replace any of these it will have to live at the bottom of my list – probably forever.
I have an iphone and ipod touch, so no, I won’t be buying an iPad.
Ipad is ok. Still on the fence as to if I’m getting one. Want to play with one first.
Not the revolution I was waiting for, iChat? USB in? I would love to be able to use this for events in the AV industry, but without the ability to get anyone’s content on it on site and quickly edit it to put it up on a projector it falls short of what I was hoping.
What will save it is iWork, (and any other cool apps that will crop up.
Maybe next time, new MBP first I think
Loves it! Iphone is my way of life, and the touch screen might save me from carpal tunnel. Can’t wait to ditch the mouse and wires. Absolute winner.
I’d get one only if it were running a full version of OS X … or maybe once it’s been jailbroken.
Yes. I will get one.
I’ll probably buy an iPad when it has a built-in camera that I can use for videoconferencing and when I can use it to stream movies from Netflix.
Want one. The potential within education is very exciting.
hell yes – it’s going to be fun to use, and probably quite useful, but I’m intrigued with what new apps are going to be developed to make use of all the additional screen space.
I will. But it ill be for my wife. Honest!
I think that the iPad is awesome, what it does is not revolutionary, how it does it is.
i like the design of everything except for the os, get me osX on there and im down for one
The price is right; iPad is definitely on my list of want-to-haves.
love it, but I need to svae up first
which is too bad, this is the first apple launch I wanted to go to at a store.
Like it alot, but will wait ’till revb
I will definitely get one. A 16GB 3G.
I don’t know if this is the next step, but I want to find out.
it looks like sheer greatness. Paradigm shift.
Yeah, if I get at least a ninety on my final sem exams. Yes, I’m hopeful.
“Meh” with a hint of “Ooo”.
probably will wait for a later version with upgrades maybe including multi-tasking and a camera
when with camera and ichat and skype video
I will be buying an iPad.
I would like to buy one, but I’ll probably wait until the 2nd generation. Maybe.
I’m pretty sold on the iPad waiting till what the UK price is but looks damn sweet.
I will buy one on day one, just like the iphone. It will do wonders when I am at a clients showing them photos.
The lack of flash is the selling point for me. im definitely going to get one
If I had some extra cash to burn, I’d be all over the 64GB model. Maybe next year…
I’ll buy one, but I’ll wait for one of the upcoming generations, with more hardware features
i wanna one, but I wait till Summer
Yeah I’ll get one
I hated it…then read some intelligent thoughts on the possibilities. I’m a changed man, but will still wait ’til v3 when it’s hitting its stride.
I like the idea of it, but the way they made it as is now, like the very first iPhone if not worse it seems shallow since they will give it numerous upgrades which can already be done to siphon out more money.
I think the iPad is great and will be awesome a generation or two from now. I am planning on getting one as soon as I can test one out in the store.
I generally like the iPad even with it’s shortcomings and will probably get one to play around with when it comes out.
I want to actually hold one before i decide. It definitely wasn’t what I was hoping for; what I really want is a MacBook Air cut in half that is touch screen. In my dreams, I know…
I’m just thinking what to buy first, an iPhone or an iPad.
Well, I’d love to win
, and speaking of winning, when I was 10 I won a 101 dead cat uses book for drawing the best cartoon of a dead cat. Since then, not much else…..
I totally had no interest in it, then slowly managed to convince myself of how useful it’d be after discussing why it wasn’t so great with friends.
I just went “oh wait, that is actually pretty cool”. Plus I hate Flash more than the Grinch hates Christmas, so I’m happy about that. If it’s as fast as the reports say I’m alright without multi-tasking
the iPad will bring a new wave of applications and a new “gold rush” (as many reviewers have stated). That said, I will likely wait a hardware generation before taking the plunge, but “might” get the $499 wifi only one to play with… Its missing some key features for me though: camera (for video conferencing), multi-tasking.
iPad? iPad!?! I don’t need no stinkin’ iPad!!!
I think the iPad looks really cool. I’d buy one if I had the $$$…
I think a lot of people in the mainstream media are over looking what it will be able to do and just making guesses at this point. I think it will be the start of something awesome in every sector.
Also Apple shocked everyone with it’s starting price point.
I’m looking forward to iBooks!
It’s pretty cool, but it’s a little more than I can afford right now.
It’s pretty great. I want!
big disappointment for me, so: no.
I love it. AND, the more I think about it, the more I love it. Each day closer to launch gets more and more exciting for me. I will definitely be buying one. As far as I am concerned, Apple has done it again!
iPad….no go for me. Now give me a “MacBook Touch” and I’m all over that like white on rice!
I think, that I could use it on lots of way, so if I will have the money, I will buy one.
Boo
No.
I’d probably get one when the days of my MBP are over. I can see an iMac + ipad replacing my current setup, as the ipad is perfectly capable of the tasks I need on the go. For things like music and photography I’d rather use a poweful desktop system.
nope…waiting for version 2.x
Not exactly what I expected from Apple’s tables but after few days after Apple event it is not so bad either. Buy? Maybe later, when the price little fall as a ebook reader, or when it will have more functionality.
ipad… under construction. maybe the next version will work out some of the kinks…
oh most defiantly.
I’m waiting for the 2nd generation
it lacks functionality and occupies a lot of space, so i doubt it.
I doubt I will buy one, but I can really see how it would be nice to leave around the living room for quick access to apps and media (i do not own an iPhone or iPod Touch).
I want my iPad so I can sell apps and make at least as much as I paid for it.
If I do buy one it’ll be the second or third generation. There’s some promising stuff in the patents Apple’s filed for and I’m curious to see if they’ll be included in future releases.
I am pretty sure I will grab one – not necessarily for me alone but to share with my fiance. I think that for the type of web browsing and music playing we do it will be great around the house.
It’s an interesting product, probably very useful for some people, but I have a Mac Pro, a MacBook, and an iPhone I just don’t see the hole it needs to fill for me.
Well If I have the money lying around, I’ll most likely get one. I like the 3G plan prices, and iWork looks fantastic!
iPad is an interesting concept, but I don’t think I will buy one. This first generation is still too crude.
Absolutely THE PRODUCT to further untether me from my laptop. With my iPhone, I find myself walking away from my computer at 5 PM and not going back to it until the next Morning. But I still have the need to read news and make queries when I’m away from my desk and the iPad will fill that niche quite easily. It also will get rid of all my bookcases over time, too.
My father who is 86 already wants one instead of my hand-me down laptops!
Needs camera. Was hoping it was a little more MacBook. Probably not buying one.
Currently, i own an iPhone and a first gen MacBook. since it is four years old, I wanted to buy a new one.
as my usual use of the computer is surfing, reading lecture notes and maybe writing (but not as much), I think I’ll buy an iPad instead.
It’s cheaper as every other NetBook, but offers much more comfort.
It’s nice, but everyone expected a lot lot more. So therefore I shall not buy one. Though I said this when iPhone Gen1 came out and then 3 days later wham I was at the Apple store giving my credit card to a seller
Yeah, I probably will.
Not yet…Maybe the next iPad..!
It would be nice if it would work more like Wacom tablet and I could use Photoshop on it. But now, it’s fun, but I don’t need it so much to buy it.
I’m thinking I might.
while the iPad is impressive and opens up new possibles my main problem with them is the small memory size lack of camera and in ability to dock it in landscape
all in all I’ll get one BUT not this generation of it
I will buy an iPad. It’s the next step on getting my wife off of Windows. She already loves the iPod touch.
At first glance the iPad just looks like a bit iPod Touch to me, but I do feel it has potential to evolve into something more.
I was very impressed with Brushes on the iPad, it happens to be my favorite app on my iPhone. (My website has some of my iPhone paintings.) If I end-up buying one it will likely primarily be for use with art apps. I’m going to wait and see what iPad exclusive apps come-out for it before I buy.
I think it’s pretty awesome and I am definitely going to buy one.
I recently got a Macbook Pro, so I won’t be buying any computer stuff for quite a while. However, perhaps in a few years, the next laptop would be an iPad instead. They need to bring the iLife suite to it as well IMO.
Since it’s not on the market yet, and almost no software that takes advantage of the form factor, it’s going to be hard to tell, if an iPad would be a better addition to my computing environment, or a MacBook Air (of which I hope it will not be given up upon).
If they put OS X on it, I’d buy it. But as it is it’s just a giant ipod touch.
Looks good, but I don’t really have a use for one, nor the money, so no.
Love it….getting one first day it goes on sale.
Like it… probably won’t get it. Maybe the next verison.
Could be better, I don’t think I’ll buy one
I will buy one, but probably the 3rd generation….
If in the future they come out with an iPad with OS X on it, and there’s a mac equivalent to MS OneNote, I would totally get one! Until then, I’ll stick with my MacBook.
It’s awesome and cheap and I would buy one if I have some spare money!
I like it. It’s the perfect device for people without any computer experience. Like older people.
i definitely will buy one, i just think it should have multi tasking and camera!
I’m sorry, but it needs a camera, on the back at a minimum. Hopefully front and back.
the wife has given me the okay, so i think it will replace our aging desktop which only checks email anyway
Would prefer a front camera so I can iChat AV on the go.
But definitely will get one.
Negative. I have no need for one at the moment.. which is unfortunate.
Don’tt really see when or were i would use it over than my iphone or macbook, so nope
I would rather wait until they release a revision or two, to see things ironed out. I was quite disappointed, as were my Apple-store-working-friends…
I love it and plan to get it. But maybe not the first version. Just like the iPhone, it will keep getting better and better.
I might buy one for my wife.
I like it. I’ll buy it.
Perfect for the Hospital and Clinic… and journal reading! So yes!!!
Sweet. I’ll get one.
I like it but it is missing a few essential features. I will likely hold out til the 2nd generation
I’d say that it’s a form factor where it is like a Kindle where you can actually do things with it, but people won’t recognize it as an eBook reader and therefore it can’t compete with it. I also like it how companies like Sony first bash the iPad for having a useless form factor, but then they decide to make a tablet themselves.
I have no plans to get an iPad, but I’ll consider it if tethering is made possible (hacks or not).
I see it like everyone else: a giant iPod touch with a 3G antenna, and lots of wasted screen estate.
I don’t know what to think of it yet. The concept is really amazing, but again a closed OS with no easy way to use your “own” apps? However, the awesome way to get web-access with it is kinda cool. I might get one, but not at launch and not anytime soon after the launch.
It’s missing several features, most importantly, a webcam. No I will not be buying one
The first thing I thought while watching the Stevenote was “where’s my credit card”. The second thought was “no, you don’t need it, you have enough apple gear already”. But then I kicked myself and tried to order one. Well… somehow I didn’t succeed…
It’s is nice, but not very portable, so for portability, I’ll keep iphone. And around the house, my macbook pro is all I need, much more versatile.
I know that it doesn’t change the world, and not an “instant get” for most people, but I most definitaly will buy a 3G one as soon as it is available here in Hungary…
I like the iPad and could use one (on the road a lot) but I will wait for the next generation or price drop. Right now I want to get a MacBook Pro for my wife.
I wish it had come out about a year ago when I bought a MacBook for my wife. The iPad would have fit her needs quite nicely, and also fit my need to buy new and cool gadgets!
I already have a iPad nano
I’ll buy gen 2 as soon as it comes out, just like I did with the iPhone.
I think iPad is a fascinating gadget, but no multitasking without jailbreak is still a problem. I would buy one for sure, but maybe only the 499 model.
No, I won’t be getting an iPad. If it doesn’t run a C compiler, it’s nothing to me.
I love it but will probably sit on the sidelines a while. Might make a nice Christmas present to myself.
not worth the asking price, but i am intrigued by the ipad. might take some time for me to catch on though.
I hated it when I first read about it during a live blog of it’s announcement. After watching the whole Keynote on my Apple TV, I really want one now. I’m not sure if I’ll get one right away, but I’ll for sure be getting a second gen. one in a years time.
I’m not really interested in them, not this revision, anyways, but really hope that my mom gets herself one. She’d love it.
On one hand, it is perfect for people that work with written word: journalists, bloggers, writers, translators, editors, etc. The combo of iWork, iBooks and book-format Safari is incredible.
On the other hand, I still think e-ink is better for ebooks.
I may buy one, if it is fiscally convenient at the end of the year.
I think its awesome! I will definitely buy one. I read so much, it will be worth buying one.
The iPad isn’t quite compelling enough for me. Maybe 2ndGen will offer more that will put me over the edge but have to say no for now.
Also, too many questions remain about what it can do exactly. Is that stupid iPod cable the only way it can talk to my mac? What if I want to grab a movie from my iMac over wifi or BT, do I really have to sync it?
Perhaps if I were into eBooks more, but I’m not. I read my news on my desktop at the office and I have an iPod touch for everything else.
I probably won’t buy one unless I could get all my textbooks on it for a really decent price. I am looking forward to it being the future of computing.
I won’t buy one
Love it. Will buy one.
I was pretty disappointed to be honest. Probably won’t get it.
I think the iPad is being underestimated. I will probably end up buying one for the wife.
It’s alright, but I won’t be buying it without a camera, or without Flash enabled in the browser. A full browsing experience isn’t “full” without it..
Not unless it has a Camera, and SMS/MMS. Oh yea, and a less shittier network….
I think it will be very interesting to see how sales go once released. I think that the negative hype and publicity is overkill and that once people can touch and hold the device they will understand its value, a simple secondary computer for email and browsing the internet. It does about as much as most people can get done on a netbook but looks fun to use. I will probably wait for the 2nd generation device before buying…
I think it’s going to be a big deal. I’ll probably get one for my wife.
might get one when the next gen comes out if i had the money id probably get one now
its great now…. but later we will find out why its much much more.
The iPad is just a giant iPod touch, and $500 is a bit much for an iPod touch that can’t fit in my pocket…
I’ll be getting one each for my mother and grandmother to replace their two G3s
I plan on getting one.
Well, I’ll buy one and then wait for the camera version and buy that one too.
It’s Tha Bomb. I want it.
I am going to buy one for my Dad and take his PC laptop away from him. It’s an experiment to see if I can get him to switch, because all he does is play games and check email on the thing anyway. He got a virus about a month ago that he had someone get rid of but it cost him some dough to do it, plus all that time without it must’ve been annoying. The only thing I think will make this fail is the lack of flash; I swear every 3 out of 4 emails he sends (forwards) me is some animation or video. Or, it’ll be all those Powerpoint attachments.
Also, it’ll give me an excuse to play with one or, I may inherit after the experiment fails.
Not so usable for me , so I’ll pass…
I expected something more inovating.
not until 2nd or 3rd generation
Yes I’ll buy the 3G version, browsing the web where ever I go with the Tardis
I wish it were cheaper.
Love it. I’m positive it’ll be a big hit! Hopefully it will jailbreakable by December, when I plan on purchasing!
ipad is awesome! would definitely try to get one. if i could spare the money.
This is an awesome tablet, I’ve used it. I prefer it to a mouse now.
I may buy one later on when I have a more cash to work with.
I think it’s awesome! I personally don’t have much use for it yet, but when I have more free time, I’d love to have one!
Definitely!
I probably would buy one if I didn’t have an iPod Touch. If my iPod Touch were to meet with an unfortunate end, I would seriously consider an iPad and an iPod Nano to replace it.
It looks like it has a lot of potential, and should be capable of filling many peoples media consumption habits, even more so once there is some useful software available for it, which you would pretty much expect to happen at some point.
I’m not planning to get one right away, as my mobile needs are covered between my iPhone and my MBP, but I can see myself getting one eventually. Probably at least a v2 device though.
i will actually consider this if the next iPhone is still stuck with at&t. why would i want an iPhone when i can have an iPad!
i think it is too expensive…. and it reminds me too much of the iphone…
like it..but wont get it until i get a front facing cam
I like iBook store but I don’t buy first gen
yes i will
Yes i’ll buy it…. i think it’s pretty sweet.. can’t wait to have one!
If the ipad would have a front Camera(compare recent rumors) and Running the New iPhone OS with multi-tasking, i would buy One. But nevertheless i am not that big fan of early adopts! So i wait for the 2nd gen.
its a cool product, but frankly, it doesnt provide any new features that you dont have on a laptop or other computer, it is simply a cool gadget that serves no real new purpose, but hey, its apple
mega fail, just a big ipod touch. If it ran osX and had more storage I would buy but as is no go.
No, our next addition to Apple system in our house will be iMac + 2 iPhones (me and my wife). P.S. this is already 41 unsuccessful attempt to win actually in this giveaways.
Maybe once it gets multitasking abilities.
My mom should, the things he uses a PC for are present in it and she was going to buy a laptop anyway, though I am a bit skeptical myself as it’s not a true laptop and I already own an iPhone for nearly all the stuff it does.
I will buy one for sure… once the second gen coms to market
It definitely has a place in the market and I would only consider buying it to use as:
- an organiser
- ebook reader
- portfolio/idea exchange when meeting with clients
Personally, my eyes are good enough to stick with my iPad nano (iPhone). It does everything I need it to (plus makes phone calls).
Had it have been running regular OSX, then I would have seriously considered buying one to go along side my MBP.
I’m interested in the e-book aspect, but certainly won’t be buying a 1st gen.
Looks like it will be awkward to hold and use?
It’s a totally new way to think about application development. On the medical segment I work for, it’ll for sure be a major hit. I’ll buy one.
I think I’ll wait for ver 2
Want one but have no use for one….sound familliar?
yes, but not on release day, maybe Julyish.
I’ll try and hold out for 2.0
Certainely not the first version, maybe the 3rd?…
I think it’s amazing… sure, it looks like a huge ipod touch, but hey…. that’s cool right? I’ll be buying one as soon as it’s out
I will certainly consider one if the potential is used for multiple applications.
I’d love one, but I don’t need it, so no (for now).
I think the iPad is awesome and I would absolutely get one, except I won’t. I can’t install my Mac apps on it. That is a deal breaker for me.
On one hand: I’ve been waiting for a good, affordable tablet computer for more than half a decade.
On the other hand: I don’t know that the iPad is it. There are too many things wrong with it: lack of flash and USB support (without extra dongles), being unable to dock the tablet horizontally, etc.
On the other other hand…it’s so shiny.
Will I buy? Probably not…unless I try it out in-store and love it. I may buy one of the tablets that pops up in the next few months instead. (Though I definitely won’t complain if I win an iPad somewhere.
)
Thank you for the giveaway!
I’m into the iPad. Don’t know about the name though. I’ll buy it when it has multitasking and a larger amount of memory — at least 128GB. Both will be standard in about 2 to 3 years…
Hate the name, and think I may wait for the 2nd generation
to small, battery life sucks, battery is not removable, no I will not buy one until things are fixed.
I definitely don’t need it, but I do want it and I will get it!!
I definitely want one. What would for sure seal the deal is if you could somehow use it as a multitouch external monitor. Kind of like a Wacom Cintiq, minus the pen. There should be an app for that.
Things that need pointing out:
No Flash? – So what? It has Youtube, and Apps can replace any flash game.
No Camera? – Even if it had a camera, most people would still use their phone to take pictures. 90% of phones nowadays have cameras. Most people carry their phones with them everywhere they go, but there are some places I wouldn’t take an iPad.
Not OSX? – Wait for developers to make Apps for it. There will be many Apps similar if not the same as ones you run on your Mac/PC.
I’m not as excited about it as I’d hoped I would be, so I won’t be getting one. While I love the idea of a tablet, frankly I don’t need one since I have an iPod Touch and 2 laptops. I’d rather spend my money on a Mac Book Air.
yeah – I’m gonna buy 3 – parents, wife, & kids.
If any other company released a device that had all the iPad offers (app store, iPod Touch/iPhone app compatibility, form factor, mature OS, low entry price point, custom chip) it would be heralded as the device that changes the game for everyone from the company of the future.
The iPad is going to be a huge hit and I would love one.
Not yet. I’ll wait until it has an optional styles for me to write and draw with.
I am a little disappointed with some of the features that I would have expected to have (true OSX, multitasking, USB…). I might buy one if I can finally write my first iPhone app and makes some money….
Still up in the air, but maybe a present for the wife.
I love it, except I really want to be able to install any app that I want by default. I will buy one as soon as I can afford it.
Sure! I’d love to own one!
If it was the same size as an iPod touch, I’d already be camped out in front of the Apple Store.
The iPad looks like a big iPod Touch. I love my Touch so i’d probably love he iPad too. I’m leaning towards waiting until the 2G iPad comes around, but it’s damn tempting to buy one right now. Plus I get a discount on the apple store online through work.
ehh, maybe I’ll be impressed after I actually lay hands on one.
May buy the 3G model for travel. Last trip I only took my iPod touch and got everything done that I had to do. With the larger screen I may be able to do a few of the things I needed to do.
Damn skippy I’m going to buy an iPad. The only negative to it right now is that you can’t buy one yet! I am so looking forward to being able to use something larger than my iPhone to browse the internet on my couch while watching TV.
The iPad’s pretty cool. Can’t afford one now though because I just recently got my MBP. Will likely wait a while to get one.
I will get one and ship it over. My 2 year old loves my iphone so this would be even better.
For portable Work my MacBook is portable enough, I prefer buying an iPhone, but I don’t want that f****ing T-Mobile contract.
I like it, but I would only get one (for my wife) if it had built in web cam for video chatting. I also think it’s a bummer that it won’t run flash (even though I personally don’t care for flash). I think it’s hard to have the ultimate web experience when I can’t view a lot of stuff because it’s flash.
So, no. I’m not getting one.
Aren’t we all gonna end up with one?!
Agreed, there are features missing, agreed, it has no camera…
But common… It’s got an Apple Logo at the backside…
I’m going to get one and use it as a huge iPod and get some huge headphones to go with it.
Reserved for the moment. Would like to see how it handles books. Will it be just another ebook reader like the Kindle or will they change how we read and interact with books.
This is for me!!!!
It will depend a lot on how it evolves, and on how it handles e-books. For some reason I feel nothing can substitute good old paper.
I honestly didn’t think I’d hear myself say this, but I am considering getting one. BUT! If it will support the download of RAW files from my camera then I am totally getting one.
Nope. Not gonna buy the large “iTouch”. Not enough new features.
yes, depending on peripherals and accessories available
iPad… sounds really useful, especially on the clinical rounds in med school..
I’ll maybe buy it, depends on when it’s going to arrive at my country.
Can’t see buying a 9″ iPhone.
Awesome… can’t wait to get me one of those.
not really excited about the iPad, mostly because, I am not convinced that it’s anything that I need. so no, I won’t be buying one
its not for me. the fact that it is not a computer on its own is quite dissapointing. It would easily suit people as a first computer for emails and surfing, but it requires itunes, etc, to set up.
I will eventually but not the first generation.
Probably won’t buy one. It is pretty cool but time will tell on how useful it is.
Yeppers…. the wife actually wants it…
No, I wouldn’t buy an iPad. When I heard Apple was releasing a tablet in the fit of rumors spewed out over the last couple of years I was expecting something more similar to the Modbook. What Apple released was pretty much a modern Newton. Maybe they should have called it NewtonX. But since I have a capable clamshell iBook and an iPhone, I really dont have the need for the iPad.
Yup, I’ll buy one. Put it right next to my Mac Classic.
It does have an interface to the Classic doesn’t it?
9 pin serial right?
Really It does, doesn’t it?
It’s great… if you don’t already have an iPhone/iPod touch. But even having one, I’m considering buying an iPad. It’s not a huge revolution, but it’s still a very good product.
It’s kinda cool, but there’s a few things I’d like to see on it before I’d buy one. Camera and multi-tasking definitely. Other carriers besides AT&T would be nice.
I think it has a lot of potential, but I won’t buy one until I have a need for it.
I definitely don’t have the money for it and wont buy one till the price goes way down
Yeck yes i will buy it… man that iPad looks soooo awesome… i can’t wait to get mine!
Only if I win this
I won’t buy it, I use my Macbook and iPhone for the purposes the iPad tries to compete
No I won’t but my work will buy me one since I got to make them work at work hehe My daughter wants the Bamboo so let me win finally doc.
Yea, baby!
I Like it but it won’t replace my iPhone 3GS at this stage. Maybe next year.
I won’t buy one, but I guess it’s a nice first step. They can only make it better at this point…
I like the iPad, great form factor, many great features, but the lack of Flash support and the lack of ability to save files to a local file system will keep me on the sidelines… Maybe iPad 2 will pry my walllet open.
I dont buy a iPad, im happy with my Macbook and iPhone
Yes, but not right away.
I won’t be getting one anytime soon, who still has a first gen iPhone? (anyone?)
of course if my work macbook dies I may try to talk my boss in to getting me one
to expensive…
maybe later
There is room for a lot of potential, but I want to see that potential reached before I shell out the moola.
It’s just a big iPod touch. Who cares about Ebooks. My iPhone 2G and MBP will do just fine for now.
Although I don’t have any need for one, it would be great for my only email and Facebook sister, or my three letter a month mother in law. It also has definite gaming potential for the gamer on the go. If I ever have an extra $499 I could see getting one.
I love it. I plan to get two of them for starters.
I am going to pass on this one. It is not what I was expecting.
i want an iPad.. you giving one away maybe yes hopefully!?!
No iPad for me yet.
I’ll consider it after a year and the second iteration, which also depends on the apps available for it and what you can do with it… As is, it makes little sense for me since i have an iphone and a macbook. I don’t need the in between until it does something really unique for me.
Yes.
I’m totally buying one – and hanging it in the kitchen/dining room area. Photoframe when not in use, geek tool otherwise!
EHHHH…. Its a big iPod touch+eReader….
I would get one after a while when its more accessible to hacks to unleash its full potential.
I want one. I’ve been reading more ebooks on my laptop and I didn’t want something non-apple.
Love it! I’m just not sure if I want to wait for the 3G versio of pick up a WiFi-only iPad when it first comes out. Decisions decisions…
Will be waiting for iPad 2.0. Mother-in-law might get an iPad if she plays her cards right though.
Oh man, the iPad looks amazing… i sure will buy one
When I can rock a full version of Photoshop on it, I will buy.
Later Generation perhaps.
I’ll buy one when it has more full blown apps like photoshop or illustrator, and maybe dreamweaver, so I can really do some work
Yes; I think it’s ideal for what they’re intending this to do. And yes, I will buy one.
I’m waiting for the iPon. It’s less obvious in a bathing suit.
I will own one once they are gen2
I think it’s fantastic and I’ll definitely buy one!
Still no background apps? Not sure what the point would be.
If I wanted a state of the art device that will not play any of the online games I like, can only single task and has no camera I will just stick with my ipod touch. At least it fits in my pocket.
I’ll likely buy V2
Not bad start. Waiting for 2.0. Really want a whole home controller out of that – entertainment central.
No shame here. My wife and I will probably both be getting one.
I think there needs to be support for multiuser. So that I can use it to check my mail, then log off and hand it to my wife to check her mail.
But, I’ll probably end up buying one…
I like the concept of a large multitouch screen, but want a OSX full operating version that I can fun apps like filemaker pro on. I will most likely wait for the iPad to evolve into the iTablet
I wasn’t too excited when it was announced, but I think I’ll get one. I was disappointed with the lack of an iSight camera. I’ll definitely only get a wi-fi only one because I don’t want to pay for another 3G plan when I already have my iPhone bill to pay.
I think it could become a very successful product in the future (after some hardware and software updates), but I won’t yet buy it because it lacks some important features.
No. I will wait for a version with multi-tasking, video and 4G.
I will buy one… that’s what I think about it!
First I believe Apple felt too much pressure from the media and the industry as well, so it was about time they came out with something and trust me it’s not that bad but also it isn’t that good as we (mainly customers) might have expected.
This happens because of all the rumors that spread wildly over the internet and the supposedly leaked photos, or maybe the purposed renders from industrial designers and fans all over the world. But that’s what they were only renders, hypothetical stuff.
So if I have too judge Apple iPad I must weight this in mind, surely the new A4 and the level of touching response seems marvelous, the new book store will be a blast indeed and everyone with a fair knowledge of the SDK will come with fantastic apps that maybe fill in the blanks for the things left out.
Of course the lack of a camera and multitasking features and the suspicious hermetic new hybrid OS are kind of detrimental but not the point to condemn the gadget and it’s creators. Personally, I believe that in the long run Apple with come with the definitively amazing gadget that people seek unfortunately we’ll just have to wait maybe as someone else said with 2nd gen or via OS updates, third party apps or hardware, who knows.
Me being a vocal coach and graphic designer miss quite a lot the cam so I will buy me a MacBook instead, but if I have the resources (money hehe) I’ll for sure acquire one because I still prefer something out of Apple Labs that those from their PC counterparts.
I’ll wait to see what developers come up with for the new form factor.
Not really sure of the exact point of a giant iPod touch, and also AT&T AGAIN???? Very cool though, probably wont buy.
yes !!
I wold buy an iPad it’s awesome
Interesting device, but hard to sell as a productivity tool absent multi-tasking. Until it’s available with that, and on Verizon instead of AT&T – it’s not not on my ‘to get’ list.
I have mixed feelings about the iPad…
I think I’ll know better if I’m getting one or not, when the new iPhone comes out.
If the iPhone will be same chip but smaller, I’ll go iPhone.
In my opinion it seems like an over sized iPod touch, and I already have an iPhone so the next Apple product that i get will probably be a Mac Book Pro.
I think it fits my requirements precisely from this kind of a device. I will defiantly buy one. The first true computing “appliance”.
Fun thing, could actually be of use to someone, but not me. Will not be getting one.
I will buy it for my mother
It look easy enough even for her.
If one comes out with a camera, then yeah, but not in its current form.
I like it but it doesn’t seem useful for me now. Will wait awhile
I think in a year, the iPad will be a killer product and will alter how we consume media.
probably wont buy first gen, but it’s looking good for the future
It’s godly, but I think I’m gonna pass on this one. I need a new laptop more at the moment. Plus, I’m due for an iPhone update when the new one comes out. Too many things at once, Steve.
I would propably buy two: One for my mom (she cant handle her Win7 notebook), one for me (love surfing on the couch).
If I had the money, I’d get one. i think it is a brilliant release, from a corporate point of view.
Definitely would buy my parents one (or two?), it is absolutely the perfect computer for them. They couldn’t care less about the “missing features,” and an iPad does everything they want to do on a regular basis. And then I hope someone buys my then broke self one.
Yes. For two reasons: 1) It’s an alternative to displaying my portfolio to clients. (Rather than carrying a cumbersome brief, reel, etc). 2) My ipod touch is dead.
I will not be getting one. I expected more for all the secrecy.
I think i won’t buy one, I will get a Macbook. I think there are not all the possibilities I need/want, if I could install normal OS-X apps, i would buy it.
Probably not, thought it could be extremely useful in my job as a High School teacher.
Probably not, though it could be extremely useful in my job as a High School teacher.
it looks awesome… can’t wait to get one….
It would be a lot more attractive with a UI meant for the device it is running on instead the supersized iPhone. Hardware looks pretty slick and has a lot of potential too bad apple is utilizing none of it
When I get rich – yes. Or 2nd generation, whichever comes first.
I’m usually a 2nd generation buyer, but the iPad meets a need for my father- he has been developing serious vision problems, and can’t read well. large print books aren’t cutting it for him, and neither are the e-ink deals… yet he can read quite comfortably from a back-lit screen. So, I’m thinking iPad for him, ASAP, providing I can load non- apple epub files onto it.
I think the iPad is amazing! Better than anything else out there for it’s class. Yes, there are some shortcomings, but doesn’t everything have some kind of shortcoming? Can’t wait to get it!
this would really help my 6 year old budding computer animator get his feet wet, and so much fun for Daddy, too.
nope. my ipod touch is a much more economical substitute.
love the iPad, and definitely will buy one. it solves my dilemma of choosing between the ipod touch and the macbookpro.
Yeah, I’m gonna get one! Some for the office too!
I’ll be standing inline when the 3G version comes out.
well considering i dont have the money for it, i will not get it. Unless someone buys it for me of course. I think its more of a want than a need. and i want
I suspect, like the iPhone before it, no-one will really have a clue about what it can do and what it will mean until it’s been here for a spell. I intend to get iteration #2 at the moment, but that’s mostly because I don’t know about things I want to know about, like bluetooth access, wifi updating, media support, etc.
It’s a giant Zune!, I don’t think i will buy it.
Smitten with the iPad and I’m dying to own one when they come out. Saving my sheckles now
I’ll be waiting for the next generation. Maybe when it has a full OS. I want to use on the bus, charging and syncing other iPods and iPhones and using a full iTunes with a 2TB portable hard disk.
I’ll buy, but maybe not right away.
Why would I buy an iPad when I already have an iPad Nano…
Yes, I will probably buy one, but not the 3G model.
I will buy one when there’s a front facing camera and multitasking.
I’m gonna wait for the second generation that it will be so much better xD!!!
I thought it was pretty sweet… but i think i’m going to wait for the 2nd generation for the webcam
It is okay, not as great as the hype. Not bad. Just like, ehhh, maybe. Hopefully Apple doesn’t treat it like a hobby (see AppleTV).
It doesn’t replace a laptop…
Not a revolution as the iPhone, maybe a USB internal port?
I think the ipad is very slick and can’t wait to see where it goes. I’d definitely buy one. Everybody and their grandmother is going to make stuff for it.
I think with third party apps it will be awesome, and yes I do hope to get one!
G2 will be better; It’s up in the air.
