Apple calls it the iPad. It's like the iPod Touch, only bigger.

ipad2

No, it's not the iSlate or the iTablet. Apple calls its latest product, the iPad which sounds like a new feminine hygiene tech product. Can someone hand me the Pad please? Seriously Apple, the iPad?! How about iTampon?



Ok name aside, it looks awesome and it should perform as good as it looks based on the above video by Apple but wait. No flash? What?! No multitasking, no USB ports, no HDMI port, no GPS, no camera, no widescreen (only 4:3) and only 64GB! Now, that sucks.

ipad

Wait a minute. Is this the most advance technology that Apple is talking about? Don't think so. The iPad really is just a supersize iPod Touch. Don't get me wrong. I like it but I think I'll wait for version 2.0 before getting one.

Update:
Adobe says Flash apps will run on the iPad.
The iPad runs on iPhone OS 3.2. The keyboard is good, not great.

Avatar hot Na'vi sex scene in full animation glory



Harry says, "I wanted to make this (the video above) due to the fact it bugged me in the movie that Jake managed to nail Neytiri with little to no knowledge of Na'vi mating practices. I mean, I'm assuming it's pretty similar, but considering they have magic hair veins that connect with nature, there's obviously some pretty big anatomical differences."
