The iPad Gets Tested!

LIKE THAT BUT REAL?

I'll be sure to watch it!

why does this exist? I mean who is it meant for? I still don't get it

It's preferable to catching pneumonia, but that's about it.

haha and even that is questionable. oh well heres to a great live stream from those guys at tested.com

That stream is laggy as hell :(

It keeps freezing on me. Stupid internet connection.

Never knew there was a real market for pads anyway :(

" It keeps freezing on me. Stupid internet connection. "

I don't want one but I am curious.

The iPad actually looks pretty cool. But the stream is a real bad way right now.

Yay! Another random electronic device I have no use or desire for! I'll pass.

that is one expensive paperweight lemme tell ya

" I don't want one but I am curious. "

I just bought a PS3 slim 250GB and like seven games, so no thanks!
 
And even if I hadn't, I still wouldn't buy it. Sorry Apple...

Just watched the stream, the iPad is nothing special really. It's just for people who want an iPod Touch with a bigger screen at this point.

its an ipod touch that doesnt fit in your pocket

pffffffffttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt

lol people want this?

Its out already? I had forgot. Hooray for hindering the progress of technology and keeping 4:3 alive, I guess.

Is Giant Bomb going to review of Geometry Wars for the iPad, or iPad games in general?
 
I can already tell you that Geometry wars looks a lot less interesting from the simple fact that the bomb button is separate and in the middle of the screen where it's tough to hit, so the only time you ever need to use it, when surrounded by enemies and in dire need of help, is gimped.

Dude, that guy's name is Will Smith ?

Lets see, anyone with a laptop who uses it for browsing/chatting can buy this instead. Im definitely gonna buy one... one hell of an awesome device!

I think this gadget is useless. There are notebooks that do more than this IPAD, and cost even less...

For the life of me, cannot understand why this is such a big deal to people. It's a large ipod touch. I didn't see everyone losing their minds in the gaming world for the DSI XL. But I guess it proves the point that hardcore Apple fans have to buy everything Steve Jobs has ever touched...

If I had the money, I'd get an iPad. Actually, I'd probably get a new laptop first and other things I'd actually need.

This stupid piece of crap reminds me of those future-cyber-clipboard-things you see occasionally in Sci-Fi like Mass Effect where some guy is taking inventory with it or something.

So when's that iPad gonna be added as a platform?

ASUM!

I don't even particularly like my iPod Touch, why would I want an iPad?

I'd rather get a Tablet PC if I had money to burn.

I know you guys are sister sites and everything... but this really doesn't belong on GiantBombDotCom™ .

So, it's like my ipod touch only bigger, and then it's like my laptop only it can't play modern warfare 2.  I wonder who finds the ipad useful.

If anybody cares, you can follow them on twitter or facebook and automatically be signed up to win an iPad...or even two if you follow on both.  They tell you the exact pages near the end of the video.

If apps werent required to be "supported" by apple to be released I would get it, but as it is now definately not.

I honestly cannot see how anyone can buy this, or remotely defend its use.

I got one.  I think it's pretty awesome, and once you use it I think that many of you change your mind.  

This looks like a waste of money to me personally but it is a cool gadget. 

Can it do something like... Photoshop?
 
If not it's dead to me... DEAD!

I watched the video over at Tested.  Sure it looks like it'd be nice to have, but like all Apple products, the lack of a memory expansion slot and the price give me reasons to pass it by.
