By the way, just to make sure I'm not missing out on anything here... there aren't any 3rd party extra charge docks for the pad, are there?
Mr.Crapple is here, great.

Screw you man, I want a cheap Cintiq alternative.

I always wanted a stylus. I have one for my iPad now. But for an iPad to implement one successfully, it would need to be a pressure-sensitive and extremely precise stylus-enabled screen. I'd like to see one for when I want to take hand-written notes. The bootleg stylus solutions for iPads are just that: bootleg.
If I can get an iPad designed to work well with a stylus, I can finally sell/retire my TabletPC. I only use it for designs and for OneNote.

There was some kickstarter project that used a dongle connected to the 30-pin connector slot and paired with a pen via bluetooth that would enable pixel perfect pen input:

Stylus's can be awesome right? I saw the Note 10.1's implementation and it feels like it's getting to a point where it would be silly -not- to come with one standardized, if the tech continues to get better. Did you see their handwriting recognition? Do you know how many people would absolutely love that? Needless to say that would be enough to persuade a lot of old-timey folk, and the actual artistic implementations are amazing - cheap Cintiq indeed.
Eh, no pressure sensitivity makes it pretty useless. But they're hoping to have on the followup so that is definitely something to watch for. There's another kickstarter one that has pressure sensitivity, but it has a weird implementation what is basically moving a small disc at the tip of the pen around, not sure how good that one is.

I would think about it for note taking in meetings at work. Take notes and have it convert it to a google doc or PDF or something.
Why? A number of platforms already offer this.
It's going to need to be more than that to 'destroy the world'
I'd rather type on the on screen keyboard.

If they thought about it properly, they could have it as seamless and optional as the Smart Cover. With all the functionality of a Cintiq. Then Wacom would be like FUUUU and start pulling their finger out. That company needs some damn competition.

No more loosing your stylus either.
With smart pen tech, it magnetically clips to the side of your ipad when your'e done using it.

A stylus for a phone is a dumb idea, Steve was right on that. A tablet though is a different thing. I'd be a very happy man if they announce some sort of (quality) stylus support.

If Apple were to open up the Apple TV for apps and released an actual game pad? Smh. Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo should be shaking in their boots.

I'm willing to bet that they will release them around the same time Mountain Lion comes out (summer) if not slightly earlier.

Well that's that.jpg
Re: the stylus, I get why some people want an official one, but to me the appeal if the iPad is predicated on touch. It also becomes weird if the app store ends up divided between apps intended for a stylus vs touch, etc. I doubt they would do it anyway.
Was anyone else reminded by the rumored name of the iPad pre-reveal by that article title? "iSlate" seemed so much better than "iPad" at the time.
Oh and at the pic: FUUUUUUUUUUUU
Oh man.
Gorgeous.

...hate me...
With the sort of market Apple has in hands, I can see all major publishers jumping in. And the app store, due to its sheer size, it's wonderful in terms of pricing, promotions etc, so yeah it's hard to see myself keeping the support to old console manufacturers if that happens.

Either that's a really small finger or the icons are massive....

hmmm
Or upside down.
Why would it be divided? You can easily just have apps that use the stylus in addition to using touch.

My father has a note and the stylus is terrible. The location of where you touch the stylus to the screen always off by a few milimeters and the palm of my hand would also act as an input making unwanted strokes all the time. There is also a fair amount of lag when using the stylus so taking notes is not ideal. It's also rather difficult to write small handwrittung. It dosen't work well on a phone. (Conversely, a proper wacom on a lenovo tablet PC works amazingly).
Seven incher incoming.

Oh man.
But why would anyone need a high res display on the iPad? It doesn't make any sense!
