I bought an ipad2. I feel so dirty.
I've been trying to make my new sites more mobile friendly and I had no way to test iOS compatability so I finally bought an iPad. For all the shit talking I do on apple I have to admit this thing is pretty nice. I see why you apple fanboys love them. I'm going to stick to my Asus Transformer though. My only gripes with the iPad so far:
One tinny-sounding little speaker. iPad sounds like absolute shit without headphones. Transformer sounds a lot better. A lot of similar apps that are free on Android cost money in the apple store. Some of the apple apps do look more polished and professional. I have to have itunes running on a computer. I fucking hate iTunes. No flash. Not sure if this is gripe or a feature yet. Time will tell. Wireless isn't as good as the transformer. Downstairs the wireless coverage sucks in places. The transformer stays connected. The iPad doesn't. My Dell laptop drops wireless a lot down there too. Funny thing is my MacBook doesn't. iPad is very simplistic. I prefer an assload of options. iPad is locked down tight. My transformer is already rooted and running a custom rom. Most of those are minor gripes. The iPad is a cool little toy. |
On Android I use connectbot. What should I use on iPad? An ssh client is a requirement for me.
|
I don't get the point of an iPad.
It's a big phone that can't make calls. A laptop can do everything, and is just as portable unless you use a small purse to carry things... Hence, unless you're a woman who uses a small purse who wants to carry an oversized phone that can't make calls, I really don't get the point. |
its cool as an ereader or to surf while hanging on the couch. I have the first ipad.

I have one and hate I can't watch flash on it.

In terms of mobility and function,
I would just assume buy an iPod touch for that matter. |

I bet at Apple they say: another happy customer. |
I have an Ipad1 --- its gorgeous and I love it...I'm jealous of you.
You are better than me now. |

I have ipad 1 and i really love it!
I'm writing this from it while i'm in bed... |

I think once since it came out it's impeded me. |
A IPAD is like a fart, it smells good if it's your own but dont use it if there's other people around.
|
I feel dirty 24 / 7
Probably cause I dont bathe, shower, Shampoo my hair, cut my fingernails or wipe my ass... |
ipad II rocks!
|
I have an ipad 2 but I dont know why.
Somehow it has replaced the newspaper in the bathroom. |
IPad 2 is a miracle product. Words can't describe how amazing it is.
|
I just found out from the guys working at best buy that you can buy a bluetooth mouse and keyboard and turn your ipad into a pseudo desktop if need be.

I like it way better than Ipad, but then again, I don't have an Ipad :P |

I just wish Asus would get the issue resolved where the docking station battery drains at about 5% per hour while the tablet is in standby. They say it's a known issue but as far as I know there has been no official fix. |

you can just keep them separate when you're not using the tablet... |
I need to get a tablet for my wife and torn on which to get, ipad is the obvious choice but I don't like my iphone and would like to get something that can be toyed with, apple is locked down as you guys know.

can you jailbreak an ipad? would be the same as a rooted android OS no?
|
I kinda want one.. I can afford one.. But I don't want to buy it because I know I wont use it much.
I miss the days of sponsors giving out gadgets after x amount of sales.. I won a nice laptop and xbox 360 that way :) |
Quote:
Full sales being either initial full sales or upgraded trial.. |
I'm thinking of getting the new samsung 10.1 tab.
There is one app that I would buy the ipad for, but I couldn't not have flash. |
don't feel dirty baba. like you said it's a cool toy for sure. it does win you over once you start using it. that said there are finally a few worthy competitors on market now but ipad still is best. if they ever get flash going it would be hands down winner.
|
ipad sucks
|
I really should pick up a tablet eventually. I'm always on the computer, whether at home or work. Apple products are too dumbed down for me, so I'd probably opt for something like the Transformer.
|
Does the ipad support flash?
|
I've had my ipad 2 for a couple of months now and love it. When I travel I don't bring my Macbook Pro anywhere anymore. I do agree that the flash thing is the biggest pain in the ass.
|
I like my ipad2 its perfect for surfing the web on the couch, way lighter, battery lasts longer and more convienient than using a hot ass laptop.
My wife and I both love it, and most people that have had a chance to sit and use one seem to like it. Its a lot nicer than surfing on the couch on a tiny phone screen. |
Anyone flaming an iPad never touched an iPad.. period

Like I said in my original post, the ipad does not and will not support flash...ever. Honestly, so far I have not missed it one bit. If I never see another flash banner as long as I live I will be happy. I can still watch my kitten and fart videos on youtube and that's all I care about anyway.
Those of you saying that ipad is the best are clueless. You may have tried an android tablet in the past and it might have sucked. There are many manufacturers of android powered tablets. There are all sorts of different specs and customized versions of the android OS. It's not like Apple. If you tried one ipad, you've tried them all. The android tables are all very different. Find one you like and buy it. I personally prefer the transformer. |

My brother-in-law lent us his old iPad so we could play with it. Even my kid doesn't see the point in it. She can't use any of the sites she plays games on because they are all flash driven. I bought a Dell Duo. It's a small network with a flip screen that works like a tablet. It's a bit heavy for a tablet, but it's got a full keyboard. Perfect for sitting on the couch and goofing off, yet I can install my software on it and travels nicely. |

Go to jailbreakme.com and your iPad will be as good as rooted. Never get why people will call a stock iPad locked down and then in the very same breath rave about a rooted android device. Jailbreak your iPad. There's nothing you can't do to it after that.
Also for the people asking what the iPad is good for...I'm laying flat on my stomach naked getting a massage from a girl while watching tv and browsing the web. Sure I could do this right now on a laptop but it's so much more convenient on my iPad. |
You just need to play around with them, and after you've done that you'll buy an iPad 2. Unless you are a Apple Hater.
Those of you that drive pieces of shit cars, probably own a Android based tablet. |
