I neater love or hate apple love is an emotion where the other persons wellbeing and happiness is more important then yours, not an addiction or posession of some company or phone. If I had to choose between my life or my iPhone I wold choose my life while on the other hand if I had to choose between my life or my sons life I would have chosen my sons life.

Android is yous as much religion to a whole lot of you as apple is to some apple heads. Your just to blind and ignorant to see it. and yes the apple fanboys are just as ignorant and blind.

I do really use the iPad.

1. I use it for web browsing, email and facebook sometimes.

2. I hook it up to my tv and stream movies (or music) from my iMac. Media center.

3. I use it for interactive storybooks to read to my son when putting him to bed.

4. I have teamviewer on it so I can't work on computers anywhere without even being there.

5. I read book when I go to bed.

6. I have bout Pages and Numbers on it for text editing and spreadsheet

7. I use it for drawing and sketch ides down.

8. the most important one for me I use it as an midi controller for my music software on the iMac.

and occasionally I use it for games and yes porn :D

I'd ask you to list how much time you spend doing each of those items, but I don't think you'd give truthful answers. I don't think anyone that wasted the money on an iPad instead of getting a decent laptop or netbook instead would give truthful answers (consciously or unconsciously).

I do have a in my opinion decant laptop but ok it's a macbook so probable not decent in your opinion. anyway I do use the iPad more then I use my laptop.

1. Everyday and quite often during the day.

2. A couple of times a week not every day

3. Every single night

4. When ever I can, to avoid getting unnecessary computers into the repair shop

5. Almost every single night sometimes I watch a movie instead

6. Not everyday but almost

7. Every single day

8. this I spend hours everyday doing.

I use the iPad more then I use my Macbook and the iMac i mostly but not only use for music production.

This, I understand, having many devices and using all of them to browse the web. However, all of my devices have a hard keyboard. I get frustrated without it, trying to enter posts like these (I type 80 WPM with a hard keyboard) or even just web addresses via a virtual keyboard. Plus, I like my web to be most like it's supposed to be, which means Flash.

I have TVs for this. Aside from novelty, why would I choose to watch something on a small tablet screen instead of a TV?

I understand this. I've seen some good stuff out there for the interactive storybooks for children. But then again, Apple specializes in making "toys", don't they?

I'm sure that PC-based VNC or remote control software has much more functionality. Plus, the hard keyboard would help. Also, be very careful. Apple is not the best with security anymore.

Invest in some glasses now while you have money. You're going to need them when the eye strain eventually wears on your eyes. Buy something with eInk and see if you go back to the iPad for books.

I'm not sure what you said here, but I think it was a mention of productivity software. I'm sure a PC can handle this much much better (obviously), and again, need that hard keyboard.

I really doubt that this is used by anyone very functionally. Notetaking makes sense when you're in an academic setting, but jotting down notes digitally is still slower than doing it on a scrap piece of paper. Plus, this always sounds like it's just making use of something that's there anyway. I think people use note features just because it's there and you have to make use of it, even though it's terribly inefficient.

I'm sure it's nice, but I don't really know enough about this stuff to comment.

I'm sure the games are nice, but I'd rather pool my resources into a smarter investment for games, such as a DS or Xbox.

And the porn will never be what I can get on a PC with Flash capabilities.
[Off-topic] gullum:
Thats why I hook up the iPad to the TV and stream movies from my iMac to the TV so I can watch movies on my 42" tv insted of my 27" iMac

And Pages and Numbers are the Apple versions of Word and Excel

[Off-topic] rorytmeadows:
Ahhh, now that makes sense. I do that too with my tablet PC.

I'm still getting an iPad. I already have a Captivate. Don't have an iOS device. The two main reasons I choose iPad is Air Video (no suitable replacement on Android) and the video capabilities of the MLB app. How often do you really use flash? I never missed it on my old iPhone.
[Off-topic] rorytmeadows:
You wouldn't care about Flash if you basically understood that your mobile phone's browser isn't the same as a regular browser. I hate the idea of using a browser on my phone that doesn't give me the capability of a regular PC browser. I know it's not exactly the same on other phones, but Flash is a big chunk of the internet and I want to be able to see it when it's there.

What exactly does Air Video do? The website says stream video, but using my WinMo phone, I can do that with CorePlayer and network access. Android doesn't have a decent video player and the ability to have network access?

I'm glad SOMEONE still likes the MLB even though they pretty much hate the public. Let me know when they decide to do something innovative and/or progressive that the audience will actually like (e.g. instant replay). Otherwise, they basically say F*** Y** to their followers every year (unlike the NFL, which is very people-friendly). Although I must say that my team is actually doing well this year (Texas).

Skimmed through the posts and saw no mention of Notion Ink's Adam. Supposed to be going to the FCC at the beginning of November. It's running a modified version of android 2.2. The UI is heavily accelerate and based on OpenGl engine. So should be super smooth.

There will be two screen options. A regular lcd screen and a pixel qi screen. Pixel qi screen will allow you to turn off the backlight. This will be good for reading.

It will have USB ports, micro sd slot,GPS instead of A-GPS and support Flash. Also have Unreal Engine support. Will have its own marketplace. Don't know if that's good or bad.

It will be running an Nvidia Tegra 2 chipset. Dual core!

Supposedly will be able to put Ubuntu on it.

Pricing reportedly between 400-500 for different versions. That means that the top end one with pixel qi and wifi/3g costs the same as the cheapest Ipad.

Here's an article from Slashgear about it http://www.slashgear.com/notion-ink-adam-pricing-and-more-1297402/

Yeah how oftern do I use flash (um almost every day) How often do I need usb ports? (Quite regulalrly) How often do I find having expandable memory convinient (Quite often) and how many times have I found unrestricted bluetooth useful (also quite often) sorry ipad is still fail.

The whole apple and their arrogant restricted bluetooth BS really annoys me.
[Off-topic] rorytmeadows:
Well, speaking of the Samsung P1000 tab, Samsung's CEO said recently that he's going to stick with the higher price because the P1000 is obviously a better tablet than the iPad (considering price estimates have been around $900-$1000 US).

Samsung has also repeatedly said that they will let the carrier's decide the pricing.

Well, of course they do when there's a mobile network involved, but that price comes down to 50-66% of the MSRP, which in this case would be about $450-$700. But I don't really want to add this to my existing cell phone bill, so I would go with the non-contract price of $900+.

I know it's better than the iPad for several reasons, but don't people realize that the iPad in itself is overpriced? For the use of the iPad, I would pay $300-$400. For the P1000, I'd pay $500-$600. Why the F*** would I pay nearly $1000 for something without a real OS, a real keyboard, and a web of apps that I might have to pay for?

My tablet PC cost me $1000 and it has all of that and more. Yeah, it's heavier, but it's built for so much more. Having a pocket-sized limited computer doesn't do me any good if it's not priced right.

I hope that they either come down on the non-contract price or at least competitors take advantage of the stupid decisions Samsung could be making...

100% agreed, I have a iPhone that I'm going to sell, I don't like it.

The iPad is a iPhone that cannot make phone calls.

Each time I want to transfer blue tooth files to my Nokia or Android device it cannot connect although it says connected in paired devices...

And no back button which annoys the hell out of me! And always need iTunes if you not jailbreak it etc..

Only thing I really like about the iPhone that it's transitions are very smooth, but that's it.

I can't understand why you say that ;) because there are 36 pages filled with hatred towards Apple? :P

All the people who say that android/win mo/win pho etc are better than ios, they should just stop creating threads like "I hate Apple/iPhone/iPad" because there is simply no point stating that you hate apple with arguments like android>ios. It's just stupid

You have no right to hate any company or its products, unless you've used them and something didnt go well and you didn't get the proper support from the manufacturer;)

If you feel somehow superior with your device to an iproduct owner then you may be.... why advertise it??

[Off-topic] Wilhelm:
They could have made it a tablet Mac with MacOS X iPad edition that runs MacOS apps like tablet PCs run real windows. Instead they made it a big iPhone with no 3rd party software yet. If/when it does it will likely be as restrictive as the iPhone. But this will be to tablet PCs what the iPhone is to smartphones. It will raise awareness of the device class and lead to more competition.

Not that I am a apple fan but I really thing that will be the next wave similar to Iphone.

Currently we might not see the real usability for some it will never be the right thing but it will make apple shxt of money.

Placing the lower version to 499$ is a very smart thing (Amazon’s Kindle cost 260$).. Many offices, airports, restaurants, etc. etc. offering free Wi-Fi connections.

If it is correct having 10 hours Battery life for such large screen but such thin device is a WOWWWWW. The best Netbooks having 6-8 hours max battery power.

Anyhow I see the real good thing with this device is that it will lead other manufacturer to come up with their own versions.

So let’s see how much time HTC will need to come up with a device that cost 499$ and has 10" screen. Yummyyyyy :D

I'm sorry, but I just don't see it. I get that the iPod Touch can be used for music with the added benefit of Wifi, but take away it's portability for music and you've got a Wifi device, which I don't understand why anyone would buy that.

One can get more usage out of a tablet PC or laptop with a backup battery, probably 3 times more usage than this hunk of junk.

This is NOT a tablet computer. It's a large iPod touch. What makes it any different? If you say the eventual 3G capability, well then, it's a large iPhone then.

Unfortunately, the bane of Apple portable products, you know, the fact that Apple ties your hands behind your back and doesn't let you really "use" your OWN device, is not going to stand in the way of the dopey sheep buying this crap.

Difference between this and a tablet PC? A tablet PC may have less life, but it runs a REAL OS on it. They really should have gone with a simplified Mac OS instead of the iPhone garbage. A tablet PC also has a hard keyboard attached and can be flipped so that you can actually see what you're typing. Not to mention that you CAN DO WHAT YOU WANT to a Tablet PC.

Ugh, Apple blows.

I think the opposite actually. Why would you buy the 3G version? It's not portable enough that you'd take it out with you to use outdoors as you'd get mugged, it would get stolen or broken!

I see this as a home or work only device, both places where WiFi is already present. However, video on your iPad at home makes no sense when you're likely to have a large widescreen HD TV already. Music/Itunes - kinda pointless when it's almost the size of a laptop screen and you almost certainly need to connect to a PC first to get the music on in the 1st place!! If you're considering an iPad, you'll already have an iPhone or iPod therefore the chances are you have a speaker dock of somesort at home. Clearly a mahooosive iPad won't be fitting on any existing docks, so it's multimedia credentials are irrelevant.

We all have email on our phones, PCs and Laptops already so this isn't any great addition to our lives. Therefore this become a portable digital newspaper and magzine reader, as well as quick convenient web browser and digital photo frame.

Hardly a revolution, yet for some reason I'm kinda tempted to get one. Actually, this is the kind of device which would be great for my Gran as her 1st home internet device. Internet without the complications of a PC, perfect for an 80 year old.
