its a great little device , its cheap it is a very good gift during christmas , suitable for almost anyone . Its sexy and thin + beautiful .
Well many people say you could get a Android phone for the money why buy the iPod touch ? Well if you already have an Android or iPhone another cheap android phone dont make sense . But if you are like me have an android phone already the iTouch makes a good companion . Besides it gives you the best spec at the price range . At USD200 no android phones without contract can give you such a nice specs .

How when it'll sell millions of units, and have a rock solid OS and build quality. It'll have iTunes, ios6, the app store, and a strong name brand to help move it. It seems obvious u don't like apple, hence the epic fail but maybe u should look at it from a neutral standpoint vs an apple hater one.

Well everyone has their own opinion but extremist is not good . Religion is not a bad thing but extremist disrupt peace just like what does muslim extremist burn buddhist temples , kill jews , and 911 incident .
I think android extremist are very similar to Muslim extremist . Its android or nothing . They hate on anything else and wont try other products . I mean i have apple and android products i am a techgeek on a fanboy and i f**king hates fanboys

Depends on how much people want portability. The iPod is the same size as the iPhone 5, so it's wry portable and easy to use with one hand and fit n a pocket. The iPad mini still will need to b carried like a magazine, and put in something. So thy both will appeal to people depending on what they wanna carry.

We have something for that, It is called the Phablet, and there is actually a market for it! I'm personally looking for a ~5" screened device to replace a Droid X I've been using as a beater. I was thinking the Galaxy player 5.0 (it is significantly more powerful than the X, even with it's outdated specs) but Sammy just announced a new player device so I'm waiting for it.....
43. darkkjedii posted on 14 Oct 2012, 16:25 0
I'm waiting for more phablet entries. I hear Htc has one coming.
61. thelegend6657 posted on 16 Oct 2012, 06:51 0
Galaxy player's specs are horrible compared with the touch and it cant make phone calls .

I'm just sarcastic :) to taunt some haters here...
Android still awesome tho :)

Well, it's not like they're enjoying their glitchy iNovelties, so i guess they figure since they have so much free time they'll troll folks to validate and justify their poor buying decisions.
13. prakesh posted on 14 Oct 2012, 01:59 2
jobs does not want ipad to be smaller than the original ipad
hope this will save the market share of ipad.
another failure of course,
same o.s same specs much cheaper or same price to new ipad lols
15. wendygarett posted on 14 Oct 2012, 02:07 0
I confess that this is another failure, but don't hate, most of the world want iPad as tablet due to simplicity...
16. prakesh posted on 14 Oct 2012, 02:26 3
due to brand name not simplicity.. dont sound a troll
17. wendygarett posted on 14 Oct 2012, 02:28 3
They do... They really don't mind when it come to tablets...
19. prakesh posted on 14 Oct 2012, 02:53 3
because they are i**** you know what i mean.
how can u explain market share of ipad went down to 50%+ from 83%+?
20. wendygarett posted on 14 Oct 2012, 02:59 1
Can you give me the source so that I'm willing to surrender to you? Don't get me wrong, because what I'm see the most tablet users are iPad... Please prove me wrong thank you :)

Actually I agree your statement... And this news does prove you're right... Mr. Cook has a vision that Apple will doom if he accept all job's word that iPad must be 9.7 inch...
Not because I want to criticize you, it just that IDK... I want something that can convince me enough to see how bad the Apple are now... It's really hard for me to believe that iPad now 50% only of market share... And what I see in news and the daily life that iPad rema

No wonder Apple made a desperate m ove with their ~8 icnher tablet to get back some lost share hopefully.

I have a cold at the moment, so I couldn't exactly bring my "A" game. And I'm using an iPhone 4s at the moment, and the only lame joke is iOS6 did they actually change anything? It looks like iOS4.

Lmao damn bro u coulda said it looks jus like ios5. That was a good one. HEY APPLE TIME FOR A REFRESH!!!

My father is a Pulmonologist ( Or a doctor who specializes in pulmonary medicine ) not to be bias here, but he is pretty smart. My mom gave him an iPad for christmas and he loves it. He has some medical apps on there he uses with his clients, and plays games sometimes. He doesn't care about customization, he just cares about things working. ( Not saying that android doesn't work, calm down fanboys)
The preteens on this site are quite annoying calling every person with an iPad an idiot, when I'm pretty sure my dad is smarter than 95% of the people who use this site.

they are copying android tablets with this size. they had to concede that there was a market for this size (after jobs' departure).
58. loli5 posted on 15 Oct 2012, 13:33 0
I think it's more about f***ing android and attempting to knock them out of the market. Remember, their own messiah said he doesn't care how much money they lose if it gets rid of the competition.

We do responsive sites for clients where we need that browser cache/cookie be cleareed repeatedly as we test corrections/formatting. It's a real PAIN on ipad to keep going back to settings via home screen to keep clearing cache and then come back to browser. What a PAIn when comapred to Android where we just have the Settings menu from where it's just a clear cache/cookie and then refresh.
Feel crrippled while testing on ipad after working on a android device unless we are missing something. It's a real waste of time.

Thanx for the info. I'm gonna have a talk with my ipad3 about that. My iPad3 told me to tell u shhhhhhhhhh too much hot air.
