How did I know rocker would come out with this,, yes it's a fun gadget , but why mock someone or is that just a jealousy thing.

End of the day it a great gadget. So what is there to mock.

But u did say once that u would mock someone that walked on site with an r2 lead ,

End of the day I have both, I work hard and earn well so why not treat myself, and yes when the new iPhone comes out in 3 weeks or so I'll get one of them too, so u can mock more

Ha ha you know me too well, eddie, but you don't know my mates - a few of them are the skinny-jeans afflicted types, who'd wear a turn on a string if it had an apple logo on it.

I've got my iPod but that's about it as far as Apple goes for me. Had an iPhone for about thirty seconds and found the thing infuriating. And as far as these 'apps' are concerned..... microsoft had a similar idea fifteen years ago - they were called programs and they tend to be still used to this day! It's only because apple didn't have any worth talking about up until now that there's such a big fuss. I guess there are two types of people in this world - some who think apple products are cool, and some who think apple products are smug. I also loathe all touchscreen appliances. As far as jealousy is concerned - I built my PC, Laptop and Palmtop exactly to my specifications, and continually upgrade. Al three of my systems will blow anything off the shelf out of the water performance wise, and that includes the iPad. I am also a bit of a saddo and have modded them extensively, so that whenever I get them out I am normally met with 'Whoa, what's that?'. I've nothing to be jealous about as far as computers go, I work gard to keep mine amazing.
 
and now the iphone mk4 sort of makes the ipad redundant except as a toy or for those who need a larger screen (old people).
 
If you think about it, the value of the iPad is its larger screen, which is easier on the eyes as far as most content types are concerned and enables its user to create content in a less painful way than on an iPhone. However, the iPhone is the more flexible device. It is smaller and more mobile. It is much more capable in terms of hardware. It does voice and data. It has two cameras, while the iPad has none. It has more applications. Both the iPad and iPhone are now eBook readers. So, what besides, the larger screen is it that makes the iPad attractive?

I will be getting the iPhone on the 24 th when it comes out. And as u pointed out the iPad has no phone or camera , but that is no secret and I knew that when I brought it. The I pad I books is like having a book, so reading it on your phone will strain your eyes. I have not seen HD YouTube on the new phone. And also the video on the iPad is far better to watch movies. There are more applications on the iPad as it plays all the iPhone apps as well as it's own.

Also for running business software it works well , where as on a phone it will be very tricky if they actually bring out the same apps for the phone

It's a bit like comparing the iPad with a mac book, they are for different ways of life.

Is your info based on what u read or have u got an iPad.
 
For e-books I much prefer the liquid LED (or whatever they are called) screens that can still be read in bright daylight and look like normal ink, for buiseness use a standard laptop any day, and as for the rest the iphone mk4 is superior as far as I can tell by the hardware specs and supposed software support.

That's what I just said they a mac book an iPad and the iPhone have different uses. So that's why I buy them,

My daughter watches movies and plays games on the iPad in the car which stops her using my phone , I make calls on my phone. And do work on both my mac and iPad. Yes the mac is better. But the iPad is quicker to access and is more mobile.

There are applications on the iPad that are superior to my mac so it's best to use it,

As I said it's horses for courses, it's a link between a mac and a pc.

This view is based on the fact that I have them.
 
So then gents.....these Ipads, whats the buzz?? anyone else got one??? are they really that usefull??? if so what exactly do you use them for, apart from playing.:)


Cheers.
