Using the same logic of everyone in this thread bashing the iPad, OS/2 should have trumped Windows many years ago and become the dominant operating system in use these days. |

Ok, so your friend is one of the people that actually had an iphone be useful. Kinda sad that it isn't actually useful as a phone, but obviously someone has to have a use for those things. No, I don't know exactly how applications are coded for an iphone, I would assume at least some are based on the current resolution to save on size and would get pixellated when the resolution gets bumped. Obviously higher end apps would account for a possible size change. ie Windows icons and programs are designed to be resized, some programs are not, if you try to increase the size of the icons either that icon stays small or it becomes pixellated. When you try to run a NES emulator fullscreen, it will becomce pixellated, because NES games are designed to run at a set resolution, no? |

http://api.ning.com/files/TAQisU8LBD...heinternet.jpg Let the fanboys be fanboys. After all, they're the ones dumb enough to keep buying this shit. Apple could package together a touch-screen god damn toaster called the iToast and they'd still buy it. So what's the point in arguing with them? |
I hear alot of you people arguing about how it's cheap at $500. First off, it's 500USD. Secondly, it's 630USD for the lowest end 3G version. Nobody in their right mind would buy the WiFi only version of this if they were to buy it at all, and whose to say that CAD pricing will match USD pricing? It probably won't, so it's very probable after HST this thing is gonna run like 800CAD. |
If I had to pick one, I would just get the wifi version. Then connected via tether from my iphone. Since I already have the data plan, why would I want to pay for 2. |
^ It has not been confirmed that tethering is possible on the iPad. Either from or to iPad. Although it will suck monkey ball if you can't tether to your iphone. |

The reality is: it's 2010, not 1990-2000. There was a time when the computer users and gadget buyers were DOS geeks and upgrade whores. They still exist, but they're just a subset of the market now. The specs & features ppl at the competition said the exact types of things as ppl here about the iPod. Look what happened. The specs & features ppl at the competition said the exact same things about the iPhone. In fact, lots of laughing and fanboy name calling ensued (true story). Look what happened. Netbook and e-book makers now: :blueguy: I don't know whether the iPad will fall flat or if it'll take off. But if the appstore and itunes/ibookstore give a reason for ppl to buy it, they will. Specs & features ppl obviously won't go for it, but it's not all about them anymore. If you disagree, you're just ignorant of reality. Most of the specs & features gibberish here is pointless, indeed. |

I don't remember people being down on the original ipod at all. As a matter a fact it was hailed for its revolutionary design and interface. The first gen iphone criticism was completely valid and still holds true. The 3G version pretty much rectified all that was wrong with the original. You ideas are really distorted about the whole sector. Your down on netbooks and ereaders cause of what exactly? I guess its cause of the massive fail that was netbooks and the kindle? Righht... "If you disagree, you're just ignorant of reality" |

Even the 3G doesn't have a removable battery, removable sd, multitasking, it's got one shitty camera, no usb, shitty speaker, a headphone jack that doesn't fit all headphones, and in the beginning no mms and copy/paste. Meanwhile, other phones had all that plus tv out, upnp, mobile tv, fully featured built-in apps, more memory, etc.. The average fool didn't care about the spec sheet. It's a boring piece of paper.

I own an iPhone. That's it. I will never buy a MAC for several reasons: they cost more money, I can't custom build a machine like I can with a PC and they don't run the software I use. I needed a new phone since my old Motorola was crapping out. I also wanted an iPod. The iPhone made perfect sense. It has never let me down as a phone and getting the included iPod was a bonus. I use it to check e-mail on the road and it works great for that. I have less than 10 apps, a few I use regularly and the rest are games for my kids. There is absolutely nothing any other smartphone can offer me that will improve my life, so why would I even bother to compare "specs"? BTW, over 90% of the people who own an iPod or iPhone don't own a MAC. Over 90% of iTunes users run it on a PC. Are you going to tell me that Apple's huge success in selling iPods and iPhones is to MAC/Apple fanboys? |
^ Agreed, I only own an I-touch due to the fact that it gives me an extra 6-7 hours of internet when backpacking. I would have considered a Zune HD had they been out when I bought it. But it's really just a fun toy, I don't care if it's made by Apple or by spongebob square pants company. |
Man a spongebob square pants iphone would be perfect. it wouldn't break if you dropped it or pressed it too hard, and if a firmware update kills it you can just squeeze to clear it out. would be fucking brilliant. |

LOL you guys will have a field day with this one |
Ever wonder why Apple iBots hang onto Steve Jobs' every single word? Maybe there's some subliminal trickery going on: |
^ Funny how haters can have so much free time on their hands to produce such a useless piece of lame (and not very funny) video. Now what I'm curious about is this: The market (not just computer but every market) is filled with countless pieces of junk and useless things for sale. Yet I don't see huge threads posted about those items. As a hardcore PC guy who could care less about MAC's, I find it so funny that the iPad has got you and many other people so riled up. And SkinnyPupp, don't you run a hardware review site? *** Crosses your site off of places to visit for any kind of unbiased information about the computer industry. *** |
Who says I am biased or unbiased about anything? I am just laughing at the iPad because it's funny. I don't care who made the product, it's retarded. |

Back in 2001, Apple released a new product called the Ipod. People also hated it at first too: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=500&page=6 |
