I am in acquiescence with Tony Bullard, the iPad serves no practical purpose and as a portable computer laptops are far more efficient. Love the foresight in the comic, Apple fan boys will have the audacity to instantly proclaim this as a revolutionary technological achievement without any substantial reason.

yeah, exactly right. Im looking at this comic after the ipad came out and i really dont see a use for it. apple is selling them because people are stupid and if you tell them is the best thing , they will fall for it.
american people are becoming obsess with communication.., is like with twitter "let everyone know what youre doing every second of the day" dont people know they all lead monotonous and boring lives xD let people go out and have something happen to them that they can report back to you … great comic

Thanks Jordan for the totally non-informative response! But don't worry you can get away with being vague and not committing to anything…as long as it's on the internet.

People have an opinion about everything; if the opinion happens to be on the internet, its usually negative.

Just seems like a bigger screen for an ipod which will have you pay for apps.

Doesn't seem worth it to me, doesn't look very convenient compared to an iphone and I am a big Mac fan.

But if you are a technophile, go for it.

Isn't that all apple counts on, they sell everything on trend not practicality.

I have to agree with that sentiment. The tablet seems to me like it would be less portable than the phone, and if you're not going for portable, a laptop has more function in its form.

I think the biggest indicator is the fact that CES was flooded with Tablets, and no one cared. yes, you could argue that people were waiting to see what Apple does, but we all know that there are plenty of folks out there who refuse to buy any apple product. So why don't we hear about them buying tablets?

Outside of the Apple lovers, there's simply little to no market for a tablet.

Very well said but while they may not be as flexible as a laptop or as portable as the iPhone there will still be a market for them. Like Rossmom said, "it is an Apple and one must be all Apple or not 'in'." people will buy it simply for that reason. I imagine there will be a lot of people buying these ASAP, discovering they don't have any practical use for them, and then trying to ditch them on eBay.
