iPad or iPad Which One?
In what way were you right? My point is that there were millions of people bad-mouthing the iPhone when it was released, saying it would flop, the networks would never accept it, Apple didn't know how to make a phone, etc etc ad infintum. A lot of those people are pretty quiet these days. Well netwo...

Okay, if you want to do it all again ;) The netbook thing. You said the iPad should have been a PC-tablet-style device, e.g. a Mac laptop with reversible screen. I said if it ran a full OS it would have terrible battery life. You said they should make it 5mm thicker to fit in a bigger battery. I...

iPad or iPad Which One?
It mystifies me why people get so het up about technology, but then again a lot of things mystify me. My take on the iPad is this, after watching an Apple promotional video: It looks like it would be a lot more user-friendly for web surfing than the netbook I'm using just now. It seems to be well de...

iPad or iPad Which One?
Apple user or not, I honestly don't think Apple will care if you don't want to buy an iPad, as they know millions of others will. Here is where I disagree. Apple has heavily relied on its customers to be their front line "evangelists" more so than any other technology company in promoting their prod...

by that logic BMW needs to be shut down 'cause you can't put ford engine modules into them and vice versa... my dvd player should be banned because sony playstation games won't run on it, same with the wii... No, these are very poor analogies indeed. It's a huge advantage in (eg) the Open Source ...

I think analogies are often suspect, but Don's one's weren't too bad. I don't know about other cases, but one of the reasons Sony can afford to sell the PS3 at a loss is that they make the money back on licensing fees from developers. Those licenses explicitly state what is and isn't allowed on the ...

Well, what an interesting rant! Piece of advice to Stefan though, please watch the keynote or do some research as you really, really are making so many simple mistakes in knocking the iPad in your posts that it is quite frankly embarassing to read. Am I gonna rush out and buy one? No. Can I...

iPad or iPad Which One?
The problem seems to be that people who don't see a need for it in their lives cannot imagine that there are people on the planet who do, and also that any gadget that doesn't appeal to them will obviously be a commercial failure. It will sell millions of units. Of this I have no doubt. I wouldn'...

Al right I was too fast with one post but where did I hit the nail so wrong that it is embarrassing? OK, you asked for it! why not have a tweaked down OSX version for it? The iPhone OS is a 'tweaked down OSX' About handwriting recognition Can it not do it then? Of course it could if they wan...

Unlocker, that's a good point about content. I hadn't really given the content side much thought - other than being peripherally aware of the deals Apple are pursuing with the big publishing houses - but I think you've nailed it. I could get used to the idea of having my magazine and newspaper subsc...

Wow, I think I've aged 10 years reading this thread!! Erm, I really don't know where to start without having a pack of dogs descend on me, oh well, here goes... Firstly, I am an iPhone 3GS user, and would not be without it (after having used some hideous "wannabe's" through the years). I am mo...

Danny I think the iPhone has so many apps is because of the group that people that use them, most of them are students properly just with the iPod. If you see what that 99.4% makes out, i believe they said that games was the greatest market, so that says something about the people and how they use ...

Some of you will think 'meh' could get it elsewhere, some of you will think 'hmmm, that's handy', others will think 'actually, thats pretty damn good.' Precisely a different point of view, you can jump high or low about it. But basicly all you're saying is that the iPad is a large iPhone, I belie...

Danny what are you trying to prove, that I can't name 20 viruses for the Mac? I never claimed there are many virusses for Mac I only said there are some and the Mac isn't 100% virus proof. Also what about Trojans and back-doors aren't those dangerous? You on the other hand said there are a hand...
