Well, best to him, and I can only hope this rumour is false.
Not many people remember that Apple almost went bankrupt over 10 years ago.... saved by Microsoft with a $110 million stock purchase, they took that money and developed the ipod. The rest is history

Personally, I'm sold on the HP, or as a BB user I might go that way.
Apple product will never put a USB port on it. Is not "Cool" enough for them.
I am still deciding if I should get an IPAD2. I mean I got a laptop that I got during Chirstmas and I used it less then 10hours and give it to my sister lol.

I rather use my desktop since is faster, more confortable to use and it is a bigger screen. Not to mention I like to game a lot so a powerful desktop is needed.

IPAD is nice for those monents where I want to check something quick but my desktop is on pretty much the whole time and if it is off I usually just turn it on grab a drink and come back.

It doesn't seem to serve what I want but it does seem cool to play games with it say you are out with your friends and you want to play some games in the car, or use it to connect to my home network and stream video (not sure if you can do it with IPAD but I know Iphone I can do that).

I guess I would rather spend my money get a better video card or a bigger monitior.

actually, i've been longing a tablet the exact size of a piece of paper. WAY too many journal articles to read, and way too many downloaded magazines that are too annoying to pinch and zoom at every page. even better is if it was in color e-ink.

then again, they expected ppl to buy the interactive versions online.

Ipad 2 will be faster and higher resolution.

Thinner than the iphone 4 at 8.8 mm.

Comes in White and Black.

Shipped in the US on Mar 11 and probably in Canada on the 25.

I think they drop the higher resolution screen, didn't they?

No screen and resolution are the same.

Faster graphics processor (gpu) and better processor (cpu) and HD video output are the main improvements. I rather wait for Ipad3.

Not many people realize that Microsoft did that so they can keep the creativity component of the industry alive. Where else would you be able to rip off cool ideas from?

Apple was Microsoft's R&D department.

And why would you? You probably couldn't arrange two notes to create a dissonant chord, let alone a harmonized one.
