I mean fuck the hardware is basically identical now, there is nothing special about Apples anymore aside the logo.
    Apple is in business to make money, and they make money by providing good products at good prices.

    I bought my first iPhone 2 years ago and since then have purchased a Macbook, 2 x iMac 27", Apple Time Capsule and various other devices and am thrilled with all of them. Their support is also first rate which is just as good as the quality of their products in my opinion.

    When one of my network devices died, I was talking to technical support within seconds of completing the phone call. When I went to the apple store to replace the item, a service agent tagged me with her iphone as soon as I walked in the door and within 10 minutes I was called to the Genius bar to discuss the problem.

    Talk about fast, efficient and friendly.

    Compare this to the shitty world of PC's. It takes hours to get Microsoft on the phone, and if your PC dies you have to hunt around for a part and then worry about compatibility, drivers and other nonsense.

    It's too bad that you don't like Apple. You should really give them a second chance. They really earned my business and now loyalty. I spend my computer time working (and playing) instead of banging my head in frustration.

      Hopefully soon the iPad will have a camera and FaceTime.

                It's awesome. My most frequent uses:
                - Viewing share prices and news
                - Reading e-books
                - Reading comics
                - Watching TV on it
                - a couple of other random apps

                I don't game on it as much as I used to. Great device, I'm looking forward to the next generation with a higher resolution screen.

                    Skyfire will read none of them.
                    Flash would be great on the ipad because of games and videos.... not because of the 'net.

                    If normal Websites never had flash on them, it would be a huge improvement for the Internet.

                      I kid you not my ten year old kid doesn't even want one because the games she plays the most uses flash, and without flash all it can do is email for her. Oh, email and iTunes.
                      Smart kid, I have to agree, it's pretty useless without flash.

                          The people I know who bought an ipad when they first came out are still using it. I was surprised. Granted none of them are doing what I would call "real" work. They're playing scrabble and checking email.

                            It's STILL not available down here in Brazil. I can't wait to get it though.
                            I'm just a newbie.

                              And don't mention jailbreaking. Why should I have to go through that procedure to run what I want on the hardware I bought?

                              My Gf's brother got one. I played around with it for like a week but I don't see any long term appeal. Apart from web browsing.

                              I'd rather get anything running android. The samsung tablet looks good.

                                just imagine the crying and screaming and gnashing of teeth if Bill pulled even half the stuff Steve does on a regular basis??

                                      Yeah. Microsoft should make Windows only accept Internet Explorer and Microsoft Office. Then claim it's for the "security and stability of the OS".

                                      I'm not exactly an MS fan, but the crap that Apple pulls off amazes me sometimes...

                                        I feel crippled with an ipad. For almost all the functionality listed in this thread, my netbook does the job better.

                                            The Android tablet coming out ($399) has facetime and a two-way camera.

                                              That's the way I see it. It might be convenient for web browsing, but I don't see myself doing anything productive in it.

                                                  That's pretty much about it, myself. It's not for PS, or Final Cut Pro.

                                                      I think I'm gonna buy the next generation. I do enjoy apple products, but I don't think that buying the 1st gen of any new device is a good idea. I'll let them tweak it, add the new features and buy it for the same price as the 1st gen

People fuck around with slow interface and lack of keyboard sitting with a ipad or laptop balanced on their belly or laying down in bed while they watch tv and waste their time with bullshit instead of sitting in a proper chair with back support and a real keyboard like they are strapped into a cockpit of a fighter jet and getting things done in an efficient manner.

Bought the Tab and didnt really like it. Not that much larger than my Evo and the current Android wasnt ready for a tablet yet. Ended up buying another iPad

                                                                            I bought my first iPhone 2 years ago and since then have purchased a Macbook, 2 x iMac 27", Apple Time Capsule and various other devices and am thrilled with all of them. Their support is also first rate which is just as good as the quality of their products in my opinion.

                                                                            When one of my network devices died, I was talking to technical support within seconds of completing the phone call. When I went to the apple store to replace the item, a service agent tagged me with her iphone as soon as I walked in the door and within 10 minutes I was called to the Genius bar to discuss the problem.

                                                                            Talk about fast, efficient and friendly.

                                                                            Compare this to the shitty world of PC's. It takes hours to get Microsoft on the phone, and if your PC dies you have to hunt around for a part and then worry about compatibility, drivers and other nonsense.

                                                                            It's too bad that you don't like Apple. You should really give them a second chance. They really earned my business and now loyalty. I spend my computer time working (and playing) instead of banging my head in frustration.
                                                                            I had a hard drive die on me in Vegas an hour before my presentation at InterNEXT.

                                                                            Walked in to Apple Store. Saw Genius within 10 minutes. He worked on my machine for 30 minutes. Managed to get the powerpoint file off the dead drive. I did my presentation. As he swopped over the hard drive. Went back after, new hard drive, machine working fine.

                                                                            Tell me another hardware manufacturer that would do that!
