There are alot of laptops with touchscreen. They are same expensive like ipad. They are more powerful. They have 12-15.6" not 9.7" screen. They are more flexible in settings because they have no locked filesystem. They are more flexible in using plug-and-play because of usb ports, VGA, HDMI and other. And the main argument against ipad - u even cannot play Demigod on them))) I have iphone 2g myself and this is an awesome device despite being made an age ago. But omg, if u need an universal device for WORK and entertainment laptop have more suitable. U just accustomed for windows interface and forgot how  it cool to see your cpu loading. The only one thing against pcs is ipad mobility. yes it have less weight and more time between recharges. But at work (as at home too) u have usually coolest gadget ever called 220V socket. u never get ipad into backpacking to moutains so shis mobility still limited 4-8h autonomity and more from marketing than really something different than laptop.

sigh.......if you look back over the posts. What you will see is your posts trying to state that the iPad is nothing more than a shiny, over-priced mediocre device. What you will see is my posts proving otherwise.

What I see is two overly opinionated but myopic people demonstrating opposite ends of a new product's potential use/worth.

One thinks it's the best thing since sliced bread.

The other thinks it's as useless as tits on a bull.

Neither PROVES anything...other than how divergent opinions can be.

There are things on this planet people hold to be invaluable...but I'll often say...."if only there were two of them they'd be matching book-ends".

Get a grip, guys...and move on....

Yes, Jafo, except that I wasn't merely expressing an opinion.  I was ALSO stating that I have no use or need of an iPad... so it Doesn't matter how well somebody dresses it up or tries to prove its worth (like, to whom?), it still lacks as compared to my PC and I still don't want or need one.  That, it seems, is/was more the bone of contention....

It's like me singing the praises of the latest pair of Nike to a man with no feet... his lack of need negates the supposed value of the product.   Like me with the iPad.... I'm plugged in 24/7, mobility challenged and don't need a mobile device to perform less than I can already do.  Meaning the iPad IS as useless as tits on a bull, TO ME.

That's NOT myopic. 'Tis practical, tho.... saved myself  $600 to a grand to spend elsewhere.... on something i DO need.

Get a grip, guys...and move on

Done.... got me a grip on a Western Digital media player and I'm converting all my DVD's to AVI to play via the media player on the TV.

Just a little toilet humour concerning Apple.... read all about the iPood here

The iPad made the local news here. A group of people are suing Apple because the iPad overheats when used outdoors.

Yeah, there are quite a few class action law suits against Apple around the world at present... over its iphone 4 and the iPad.   Funny in a way.. the boot being on the other foot.  Usually it's Apple suing somebody or other for copying a something or other.  Also funny, Apple generally only sues small operators... you don't hear of Apple law suits against Nokia, Samsung or LG, for example, for copying its cell phone technologies.

Hehe!!!  I couldn't help but interject when somebody was telling a friend of mine that he was getting an iphone 4, but would jailbreak it to do stuff that he wanted it to... I just had to say: "Why not get a phone that behaves and is already toilet trained??"   Last I heard he had instead gone a bought an unlocked Samsung 'touch' with all the features he wanted, and he can use it with any provider he likes.

With the release today of iOS 4.2 the iPad should see major improvements with multitasking and printing - http://www.macworld.com/article/155883/2010/11/ios42_release.html

You should have attached it to your keychain then.

Simply by typing a colon and a 'close parentheses'. A wink is the semi-colon and e 'close parentheses'.
