Apple iPad Review

0. phoneArena posted on 06 Apr 2010, 06:57

Let us start by saying this: Apple has not created anything new with the iPad, just like they didn’t create anything new with the iPod or iPhone. If you look at it, Apple rarely creates something new, they simply take an old idea, let it establish a niche in the marketplace ...

HP rocks. http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/hp-slate-to-cost-549-have-1-6ghz-atom-z530-5-hour-battery/ Game, set, match Apple. Honestly if you can survive on device that only runs one app at a time then you might as well go check into the elderly center because there's no way you're living in the real world with its technological demands. Also written on an HP.

Not to mention, how can you even compare gaming on the iPad to a PSP or DS? I mean, good luck fitting an iPad in your pocket, because that's what DSes and PSPs were created for. They weren't created for college kids to carry around in purses, they were created for handheld gaming and mobility. Apple is waaayyyyyy too arrogant because they've even made those comparisons of the iPhone to a DS or PSP, which is ridiculous. The iPhone has nothing on a PSP for gaming, bottomline, even though at least it meets the pocket-sized gaming criteria. I won't get into the rest of it because I've never used the iPad, but I do have eyes and can plainly see that an iPad is in a completely different market segment than a PSP or DS.

I made the move into Steve Job's pocket 3 years ago, and NEVER looked back!!! As an iPhone, Macbook Pro, iTouch user, I was excited to see the iPad make its way into the scene. Everyone has opinions, and obviously Apple has created an incredibly successful business model from hype (such as how the "Bar Floor iPhone 4" issue reaching headlines nationwide!!) I think with time, just as with all Apple products, the iPad will truly demonstrate its capabilities. I can already see the holiday season bringing about new colors and features, with OS updates coming soon as well. Personally, I would buy an iPad decades before I'd buy a lame Netbook!! I work for a prominent Mobile Phone company, and the issues with Windows Based Netbooks are endless. Of course nothing is perfect!! Just my opinion, but if and when the iPad supports Adobe programs, such as CS4 (or soon to be released CS5!) with Illustrator and Photoshop, MY life will never be the same!! I would love to edit and create on a screen with my fingers as opposed to using a mouse or a pen tablet tool. THAT is when the iPad will truly show its value and potential!! Its good to read everyone's thoughts tho... Very valid points!!

You must be the one trolling around giving everyone -1 for negative crApple comments...Good luck waiting for more Adobe products. FAIL

I would rather have my HP latop or tablet - I can do a whole lot more than on the closed OS of APPLE......

we cann’t take advantage of video chatting by ipad with a cross-platform. I’ve purchased ipad in july, the reason why I choose it is its convenience, actually, I'm feeling inconvenience with the 9.7-inch multi-touch screen, what's more this problem cannot be solved like video formats limited by ipad which can defeat by video converter like ifunia and handbrake.

theres no flash, no usb, no hdmi, no keyboard, not a pocket sized, makes people look like idiots when calling, no camera, runs iphone OS but not OSx so apps are limited and can only be downloaded from the appstore, no multitasking, unremovable battery, screen resolutions too low for a 9.7" tablet, name is terrible and it would be better if it was called islate just like they were planning to do
