Sup Losers?

Well I finished what looks like my final revision of my iPad 'article', which is basically me bitching about the Windows fanboys out there, I'd appreciate it if you took the time to read it, it really isn't as long as it looks ;).

Anyway, you can find it here and your feedback and corrections are greatly appreciated, please leave your comments on the actual article if possible, as it'll be easier for me to read them/reply to them.

Thanks.

p.s. - tl;dr's will be met with a report, don't you dare.

I got about 3/4 way down... then my attention span ran out Tongue
Pretty interesting points, but the only real use I could see for this is maybe for sales in larger companies... or drawing quick/displaying plans for buildings etc.
No practicle use for me Tongue I'll be giving this one a miss.

Why would anyone want an iphone at 5x the size? And even worse pay more for it. I'd rather have an iphone.

Your own admission.

Quote:How is it different? Now, I am willing to admit that _technically_ the iPad is a big iPod Touch and that the key technical difference here is the larger screen,

I am shorting Apple stock because I think the iPad is going to be a big failure.
Superman I am here to rescue you.

It's just a bigger verison of the iPhone. And the touch interface doesn't suit it. To me, it looks ugly and a not well though out idea. If I has the choice between the iPhone and iPad I would go for the iPhone but the Google Nexus is also good so I'd buy that over an iPhone if I had the cash.

We say this, but how many of us actually has an iPad?

(though why waste our hard earned moneys.)

If the touch interface doesn't suit it then what does?
Also your choice is your choice, just as long as you aren't comparing the iPad with the iPhone.
