i find macs are superior with graphic design and drafting while takin a course on it but i had a mac crash on me in class(yea, the $2,4ooo mac pro) kept at a cool classroom temperature decided fuck all my work and progress and it was all lost..a hdd crash but a crash none the less..ive never even heard of a pc erasing all ur shit..mine crashed but i culd still get the data from the hdd..macs look good garanteed but the windows 7 OS simply shits on mac snow leopard at appearance..macs are boring, Shitty gaming to top it off..i culd go on and on..PCs are pocket friendly, user friendly, and flexible towards a users desired tasks..a mac is a big ass downpayment on shiny metal with a apple on it and what u buy is what you get until ur tired of it.
Apple computers (i.e. iMac and Macbook) are good, the iPad is an overrated iPod Touch. A Microsoft PC generally sucks at all points, especially Windows 7. It's Vista with some new features.
You obviously haven't used either of these os's. Windows PC's are as good as you pay for them. Mac's are rediculously priced for what you can get on a PC for a fraction of the price. Also, Vista sucked. absolutely horrible OS. It crashed all the time, and generally didn't work, but 7 is 100 times better, not to mention XP which is by far the most popular and stable OS for YEARS! now 7 is out and is even more stable than xp. it's absolutely fantastic. you are ignorant.
If the iPad screen is bigger than the netbook screen then it is better whether or not it is widescreen.
Some things that may or may not justify the iPad for any given person: App store with hundreds of cheap/free games, longer than three-five hour battery life, will soon have multitasking, do you really need expandable memory on an up to 64 GB iPad?, (relatively) cheap unlimited 3G plan, and you can get a physical keyboard if you absolutely NEED one.
5" and 7" tablets that run android and cost $200 will displace netbooks and the ipad in a couple of years. you can never convince a scientologist or a mac user to change so why try?
Who ever did this obviously has never actully had the chance to touch or even have an ipad.
Physical Keyboard? The whole point of an ipad is for it to be a tablet. Thereofore no keyboard, if you dont like it then dont get an ipad. (Theres also keyboards to buy for the ipad.)
Widescreen- If you turn the ipad it does have a wide screen, not a big one but its called wide screen cause its wider than it is tall.
Webcam- Wait until the next generation of ipads.
Card reader- Can be bought for the ipad.
Usb and other outtakes- Can soon be bought for the ipad.
Removable battery- Who the F*ck would need a removable battery, being able to remove the battery by your self had no use what so ever. if the battery breaks then just give to an apple store and they'll fix it up.
Flash-
Flash is more keyboard-mouse-screen oriented so it woulndt work out on an ipad, dont like it? F*ck off. If your not planning on geting an ipad then dont bother to comment on them.
Video out-
Can be bought soon
Open platform-
Just wait until some one jailbreaks it, should be in a week or two at most.
Multi tasking-
Depends on what app your talking about, some apps allow it some dont.
Storage-
Dipshit, 16gigs is the lowest one, 64 gigs is the biggest one. 64 gigs is enough cause ipads are still not a replacement for your computers.
Price-
its 700us for a 64 gig one, they are far more powerfull then a netbook.
Its so much more entertaining in everyway to have an ipad than to have a netbook, who ever made this picture is a dip-shit and needs to get his info straight. If your not planning on getting an ipad then dont comment on it.
Uh... where did you get that idea from? The clock speed of my netbook is twice as fast as the iPad's. The only reason it might seem to run slower is when it does that thing... what's it called again? oh yes, MULTITASKING. The reason Apple don't do multitasking is so it doesn't look like its running slowly with its fairly average processor. Which is fine until you decide running more than one thing at once might be more useful than looking flash.
****I haven't read the most recent posts on this thread. I just couldn't go on any longer w/o commenting so I apologize if I've repeated anything*****
You make wonderful points....but do you realize that you're paying $500 for an overgrown ipod touch and then more $$ for "extra" peripherals that come with netbooks within their full price?
I know, I know. The ipad isn't the same thing as a netbook....but I think the problem here, is that people are EXPECTING the ipad to BE like a netbook and are disappointed. Besides the whole mac vs. pc thing.
SJ is releasing products w/o finishing them and people are STILL buying them! That just shows how sheep-like his groupies are! Why do you think mac followers get so much crap?! Yes, some apple products are OK. I myself have an old gen of the ipod nano. But, personally, when I'm told to wait for a feature that is on almost every other comparable piece of technology today to be on the next gen of this shiny new product (ex: webcam)....nuh-uh. Now we have a problem.
I mean, you're paying $500 and then at least $30 for each extra peripheral which you would get each of with a cheap netbook. The picture says it all. It really isn't lying. You have to look at what you're getting for your money.
The only uses I can see for the ipad is listening to music, surfing the internet, reading ebooks, and using it as a calander....I'm not sure that just that is worth $500...
And did you even READ the other comments?? The ipad is NOT WIDESCREEN! I can't believe I'm having to repeat what others have already said! The ipad is a 4:3 ratio. For it to be widescreen it has to be 16:9. Therefore, the ipad IS NOT WIDESCREEN. Holy crap!
And why should we have to wait for a next gen version? Someone has again already said this, but generally, companies attempt to make a product the best it can be before releasing it. The fact that us consumers are told to wait for future generations before we got what we REALLY want, just goes to show that SJ wants as much $$ as possible. I'm not sure I'm cool with that.
just out of curiosity, why did you write up this giant comment that just says the same thing as everyone elses comments? you even pointed it out. like hey look what this guy said. now let me repeat it in a much longer drawn out manner.

I bet if apple sold a bag of shit with their logo on it, you'd still buy it.
