The Apple iPad

[jkartik]

Apple will always be a fail.

am never gonna buy an IPod(have the shuffle right now) again unless i have so much cash i can literally throw it away.

its so fliping irritating that it syncs ONLY with iTunes..cant just fliping copy paste it through windows like a pen drive and the most fliped up thing is it doesnt recognize your iTunes "Library" on another comp. :

Ok, here is something that you guys might want to see. Notion Ink's Adam, which is going to be Apple iPad's rival.

Apple iPad vs Notion Adam- Indiatimes Infotech

This damn thing offers everything that the iPad doesnt offer and its expected to cost much cheaper than the iPad. Also check out a demo video of the Adam.

This one will be awesome! Not sure when it will release though. Hope it does soon! Great to see that its being designed by an Indian guy.

I just can't see the iPad being used outside an office or design studio. Then again I can't see it being used in those settings either. Being Apple it'll sell real well. I'd be very surprised if it didn't. People are slaves to commercial branding.

If you're not happy with iTunes, check out this article:

iTunes - iWant a divorce! - Technology - NZ Herald News

It gives a few alternatives to iTunes. Might be of some help.

The iPad comes out day after tomorrow (well, technically tomorrow). Some people have already gotten their hands on it. Here's a review:

Must say it looks a lot cooler than it did before!

I'm typing happily on my Mac Mini right now.

Don't tell me you don't own an iPod!

 

[pcfan123]

Nope I have a Creative Zen, bigger screen, more space and way cheaper

We have 5 iPod's in the family! :laugh A blue mini (moms, now dead) , pink nano (ran over by a car, still works, screen broken though. -mom) (3rd gen), silver nano - got it for 12$, dad's (4th gen), iPod touch 1st gen (me), iPod touch 2nd gen (sister).

My sis also got a free iPod Touch 1st gen when she bought her macbook but that got stolen over the summer.

Very happy with Apple products so far. Still enjoy working on Windows though, really miss the snap to fit feature from 7.

Well, the iPad came out this past weekend. Anyone bought one so I can ridicule them?

Either Apple are faking it or the iPad really has taken off with great interest. I wouldn't be surprised at either, for Apple's marketing team is freaking genius, if they can get a product like that sell what well.

300k iPads sold on the first day itself!! I am planning to buy one soon! Come on, go ahead and flame me

Apple can sell their products well. Here among my friends, the hype for the iPad is humongous. Wont be surprised if the product is a commercial success

It already is... just goes to show how a good marketing team can do wonders even with sub-standard products.

Yup, its amazing how easy it is to convince teenagers what is cool and what is not.

You would be amazed at the amount of people who think mp3 players and ipods are not the same thing

Yeah, and it feels even more bizarre when you see people defending the iProducts like their lives when they've not even seen, let alone use, a corner of an Apple product.
