iPad 2

[jj]

What a load of rubbish. It's married with telling people what they want and need and then marketing it very successfully. I'd have far more respect for the company if they just said it like it is. They have long since surpassed Microsoft's darkest ambitions for completely controlling what their users do (and can do) with their products.
 
As it stands, if apple were smote from the face of the Earth tomorrow by a vengeful God, I'd not shed a single tear :lol:

 
My Fav bit, and don't know if anyone else mentioned it yet as not read through rest of thread.  Was the round of applause for a fucking cable.  Here you go gulible stupid public, HDMI mirror video output, but you will have to buy an extra dongle, what a lod of shit.

The iPad is the cheapest of the tablets... But if you want something like a netbook or a £300 laptop then it is over priced.
 
 
 
Have to say, but most people who buy macs do so because they don't care about the hardware/looking smart/etc... They just want something that works... That's why I bought a mac... I don't feel superior or smarter I just don't have to worry about my system doing something weird when I need to rely on it.
 
 
 
yeah, I'm probably an Apple fanboy, not as much as I am an Amiga fanboy (the platform's been dead for 20 years and I'm still here!)... But really I just like the tight integration of hardware and software... For a few years I made my living using Macs running MacOSX with Apple's Logic Pro... (While selling my work via iTunes!) A complete apple solution which didn't give me any problems (unlike my previous Windows setup)...
 
I find myself coming to depend on my ability to write Apps for devices like the iPhone and the iPad to make ends meet... Apple make it really really easy for small developers like us to get our software to over 100 million users... So he'll yeah, I'm into that

Yeah but its the over exaggerated finger movements to scroll of smug bastards on the train using their  iPhones and iPads.  makes me want to slap them.
 
What the connection between the new iFap2(Pad) and Steve Jobs.
 
They are both 33% thinner

Commodore is dead, Amiga is dead, Apple is flying high. This really is more about jealousy than anything else. Apple succeeds by selling the public what it wants to buy, not a netbook mother board stuffed into a 30 year old case, nor a dual core sub 2 GHz computer for 1500 quid, where you can't even use the two core together.
 
It's an integrated tuned piece of hardware that is easy to program and easy to sell programs for. It supplements your computer, your tv and your other Apple products. It's isn't a PC, it's the ultimate post PC product.
 
As far as the lockdown, well, try to do anything with Android without rooting it first....

Thats why I went the maemo/meego route with my portable computer/phone

Well, what about the fact that the xBox 360 first came out without HDMI and what did you have to do to get it? Buy another IDENTICAL xBox360 which simply had an HDMI port added on. Nothing else was different.
 
I prefer a dongle, personally.

 
My xbox 360 elite came with HDMI cable.  I never buy new tech first genereation

*groan*
 
On a serious note, I hope the guy makes it. No matter what one thinks about Apple, Jobs is one of the original gangstas who pioneered home computing.

 
I got no ill feeling towards the guy and hope he make a full snd speedy recovery.

Well, no one is forcing you buy some stupid HDMI cable... But I will ask you one question... I have an iPhone 3GS, I can buy this cable can get HDMI output from my phone (should I want it, though I don't), are you able to buy an HDMI output for your current phone?

 
Not HDMI no. My phone has old style comp tv out built in as did my last two nokias and the lead (whichy would work on anything with this sort of tv out) came with the phones.
 
Lotd of Nokias do have HDMI ports on them now.
 
I can also  use blootooth for more than headphones and use my phone as internet tether  But  I am now being a bit of a dick

iTunes is one of the worst media programs I have ever used.  I tried it on several platforms.
 
I think I am going to say it, I am..arrrrghhhh
 
Even Windows Media player pisses all over iTunes

[jj]

Mirrored HDMI Output .OMG ....
 
What you see on the iPad is what you get on HDMI.....
