iPad?

Naa, you need the Notion Ink ADAM

It's larger, lighter and probably better.

Thanks for the feedback, guys.  I wasn't planning on buying it anyway, but nice to get some objective opinions here, kinda puts it in perspective.  Cheers.

To me the iPad is nothing more than an over sized iPhone. Useless to me. I never found the touch screen very interesting or convenient. Apple products are mostly a waste of money.

I can't take credit for this.  I found it on bash.org.

"Apple dumped the geek/hobbyist market to go after the highly profitable moron/trendy market."

What does it do that an iPod Touch doesn't do?

I have an 8Gb I-Pod Touch. Unfortunatly it F-ed up this afternoon trying to update the firmware. It doesn't work anymore. Oh well, it was only [cough]116 Euro[/cough] second hand.

I personally can't stand Apple products. Was forced to use a mac last summer when I was on the photography team for the VA National Wheelchair games, and absolutely hated using macs. I'm sure they're good systems, but I was embarrassed because I needed help figuring out basic operating system functions.

Apart from that, I refuse to buy an mac, ipod, or an iphone, ipad, or any other 'i' apple product...


A PC works well for me. My MS Zune is awsome, and my cheap little samsung cell phone does everything I need it to.... ;D

I have been on the Apple bashing side for a while.  However after using them while working in the psychology lab at WSU I have learned a little more about them and I am afraid that I might be in danger of converting the next time I need a new computer (won't be for a while considering I just bought 2 PC's this past year.

My I-pod Touch decided to start working again after being connected to another PC(!). Great because I like it a lot as an MP3 player, miniature game console and photo album.

Apple iPad
Many Apple fans couldn't wait to get their hands on an iPad

Some owners of the newly-available iPad have reported problems with connecting their devices to wi-fi.

Hundreds have complained about weak signals on the tablet computer.

Apple acknowledged on its support page that "under certain conditions, iPad may not automatically rejoin a known wi-fi network".

It offered a fix, but suggested that it was a router issue, despite some users saying that other devices worked fine on the same wi-fi connection.
