Official LRT Jesus Tablet Open Thread

      34 Comments on Official LRT Jesus Tablet Open Thread

Tonight, President Obama’s Teleprompter will address the nation, and tell us various lies about the economy and the budget and the future of the country and whatnot. And I’ll be liveblogging that, natch. But first: the day’s really important address to the nation!

IMG_7516.JPGI’m talking, of course, about Apple’s “our latest creation” event this morning, at which Dear Leader Jobs will unveil his latest creation, the Jesus Tablet, which will single-handedly save the publishing industry, the global economy, journalism, the written word, planet Pandora, and health-care reform. Soon, you’ll be able to see Senator Scott Brown posing naked for Cosmo on a 10-inch touchscreen! The future is now, people.

Anyway, I digress. The point is, at 11:00 AM Mountain Time (1pm Eastern, 10am Pacific), Apple will hold its much-hyped event to announce a bunch of crap nobody cares about (new version of iLife, new MacBooks, blah blah blah) followed by “one more thing,” a.k.a. the OMG TABLET COMPUTER THAT WILL CHANGE THE WORLD — and this is the thread for comments and updates about said event.

I won’t be “liveblogging,” per se, but various sites will be, such as:
MacWorld
Mac | Life
Mac Rumors Live
Gizmodo
Engadget
Ars Technica
gdgt

Meanwhile, to the extent I tweet about what’s happening, my tweets will appear in the window below, rather than in new blog posts. [UPDATE: Live-Tweeting over, so the window below is now displaying tweets in “archive” format, i.e., chronological order instead of reverse chronological order.]

Y’all are, of course, invited to add your thoughts in comments on this post. Will the Tablet be awesome? Useless? Awesomely useless? Will it be called the iPad? iSlate? iTablet? iJesus? Discuss!

    One Tablet to rule them all, One Tablet to find them, One Tablet to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them. In the land of Cupertino, where Job’s Shadows lie.

    Mac Observer isn’t running its customary live-update page, and other sites are using CoverItLive or Twitter. Consarn it, just put text on a page and set it to automatically reload!

    Yep, CoverItLive seems to have cracked under the pressure.

    Big ups to Twitter, though. 1 year ago, this would have crashed Twitter by now.

    And the device looks nice!

    Really? You had to propogate the whole “Jesus tablet” meme? It was annoying enough when it was used to be-little the iPhone.

    what do you have against the Jesus phone? Dost though malign that which is the Jesus phone! Blasphemer! Blasphemer! Thou shalt be cast out. For thou hast said evil against the phone. Which in it’s wisdom is our savior…

  6. B. Minich

    Does this bode ill for CoverItLive tonight? I mean, they have two major live blog events in one day . . . and they’ve flunked the first. Lots of panicked engineers right now.

  7. Brendan Loy Post author

    Yeah, I was thinking the same thing.

    This is really an epic fail for CIL — they should be out of the “growing pains” phase of their existence by now. This will seriously erode major sites’ trust for future big-time events. The sites that have done the best are the ones which are using their own inline liveblogging, not relying on external services.

  8. Brendan Loy Post author

    There was a distinct drop a few minutes after 1:00 PM Eastern — that had to be iPad-related. But now the price news has caused investors to be… irrationally exuberant?

    The stock market is weird.

  9. JD

    If Apple stock DIDN’T drop at the beginning of an actual event, I would’ve wondered what’s going on. It is almost a given that Apple’s stock drops as “iProducts” are revealed.

  10. ceiliazul

    This is not a home run. A base-hit, but nothing smashing. Is there “one more thing”? iBookStore?

  11. B. Minich

    I like this. I like this to eventually replace the function filled by laptops. Plus, it introduces a data plan you can get in and of itself. I can keep my Verizon phone AND have a device that accesses the web.

    The pricing and functionality are about right, I think. Apple seems to be pushing app prices down, which is interesting. Something like iWork would have cost $50 (or more) 5 years ago, with each element separately costing $25-30. Now, we’ve got a productivity suite for $30, with the expectation that you should have to pay around $10 per app. That’s going to change things if this takes off.

  12. Casey

    Wait… so it’s too expensive and too big to be a phone… it costs as much as a laptop but can’t do as much… it’s pretty though. Maybe it doesn’t have to be useful.

  13. David K.

    Its cheaper than most subsizdized phones and cheaper than most laptops that aren’t shit. It also, you know, has multi-touch and is pretty dang thin. It’s definitely not for everyone, but its great for a lot of people.

  14. gahrie

    Next year Apple is going to come out with a refrigerator, the iCool. It’ll cost twice as much and only accept food from one supermarket, but will print pictures and download itunes.

  15. David K.

    Tolerance? Logic? Reason? You have no buisness talking about any of those gahrie. Further more I tried to be tolerant, but even the patience of Job himself would not have been enough to deal with you. I tried being polite, rational, and calm. You were an asshole. So I stopped trying.

    Yeah, I temporarily opened comments so new readers could respond to my Pioneer Post blog posts, and now the spam-bots are going NUTS as a result. Not really a security breach, just an annoyance.

  22. B. Minich

    SPAM!

    So, looks like iPad skepticism was proven wrong. Nice to be right! I never thought Spam would be good for my ego!
