Oh btw, link
The first comment to that post says it all
quote:Smart phones were dripping in high technology and features but the iPhone still wiped the floor with them. How hard is it to understand, it is the experience and the ecosystem! Period.
Nobody wants a Linux pad except geeks.

Posted: 12 Feb 2010, 23:15I think the point is, the iPad is targeted at your mother, not a Linux geek. You mum wants something she can turn on, like a microwave, and it does the job without needing to understand config files, boot loaders, bios, or any of that gubbins associated with netbooks, laptops, etc. I get that you want a piece of hardware you can tinker with, but you ain't the target market.
Posted: 13 Feb 2010, 00:51Actually, I don't want a piece of hardware I can tinker with, I want a piece of hardware that does what I need it to do in this case act as a mobile computer for me on trips, something I can plug SD cards into to use as storage for photos and as a movie screen for flights, or a book on the beach.
IMHO Apple will sell millions of the IPads just because of the name and the simple interface, but I don't think it will be the best Tablet on the market.

You'll need a small computer then. Maybe a netbook, or if that's not got the oomph for the job, look at a laptop.

Posted: 13 Feb 2010, 01:00I looked at them, the battery life and the 'book' feature just isn't there for me.
Once there are a few tablets to really play with in the stores I will make my choice, but right now it really isn't a secret as to which one I am leaning towards.

The annoying thing, the very annoying thing is, because its from Apple and its got an 'i' in it, there are going to be some killer apps written for it that 'probably' wont be available for any slate type machine.
