[Sweeper]

Just sold one 3g yesterday, couse it's garbage . Anyway congrats !

[T2Andy]

Cool

[TDi90]

rubbish!

would rather spend the money on some audi bits

i cant help but think there is no market for these things. I can do everything on that that i can do on either my blackberry or laptop.

[T2Andy]

I don't need any Audi bits

[DamianURS4]

its the wrong size, they are bringing out a 7" version for Chrimbo whereby apparently they will leave the existing size in the dust - it is a weird footprint - it doesnt quite seem to know what it wants to be - tablet? spart phone? by January it will be able to fulfill all those roles.......

[T2Andy]

It's perfect

[Error404]

whats the point in it? It provides a solution to a problem that never existed.
IMHO if it wasn't a Mac branded product it would never have even got off the drawing broad. Consumerism gone mad

the ipod touch/iphone market is flooded. the mac pc market is a dead duck. they sold out and now use intel. may as well be a pc now.

apple need to try to keep in the money and the recent jailbreak rulings i think are fantastic. but not for apple.

[Jamo]

Apple really don't care about that ruling http://www.pcr-online.biz/news/34334...tch-for-iPhone

Main reason I don't like it is :
It really hard to use it if you hold it in one hand , it's really weighty
For most of problems it solves you can use your phone , like e-mails , short browthing experience , facebooks , ebays , paypals , skype and icq.
It's really anoying to convert movies into mp4 , wich was one of the reasons II bought it in the first place , to watch movies on business trips =]

Main reason I liked it a bit :
Push the button and it's on
Good lithion battery for it's size
Quite good to watch photo albums with friends

That's all.

It's overpriced mini laptop with no actual use as laptop.

[GazzaG60]

apple dont care but the judge does.

courts can make life awful hard if they dont feel they are being taken serious.

id rather stick pins in my balls than buy apple

[diesel des]

Yea Apple systems are way too locked down for me. HTC all the way baby!

Sent from my HTC hero mega phone ... apple butt kicking... flash playing...LOL

[Gazjen]

I used to have this same opinion of Apple devices before I owned one, true I don't really see the point of the ipad but I wouldn't be without my iphone4 now and yes I have owned HTC devices too

There not the most popular phone because there rubbish are they?

[S2central.net]

The uber geeks who feel the need to tinker with the inner workings of every device they own don't like the 'locked' aspect of the iphones but a whole community of cracks and hackapps exist for them - so I dunno what all the whinging is about that aspect. I've had a 3GS for ~9 months and can honestly say it is the best phone I have ever had. My windows loving colleagues prefer the HTC but that's their choice... It has better / simpler email integration for Exchange primarily but that's a work thing that is a 2ndary purpose for my phone.

The iPad is a thing of beauty alright - I cannot justify one because its damned expensive but I think it is a much superior form factor for general browsing / shopping, music, photos & movies and stuff for use around the house. A laptop is just too big, clunky and not kiddie friendly at all. The iPad isn't supposed to replace the phone or the laptop. Ultimately the phone is more portable and the laptop has more performance - the iPad sits between them on price & functionality. Anyone that says the iPad solves a problem that doesn't exist needs to remember that millions of them have been sold in a very short timeframe so clearly there must be a market for it.

I have used Apple stuff since about 1991 and never looked back... I went through my fair share of upgrading and tweaking the old machines but the one thing that always kept me with them was just plain and simple usability and robustness of the user interface - that doesn't mean I am not a techie or am incapable of operating a command line - I just can't be bothered unless I really need to...

Apple also gets bashed now much like MS from days of old by those people who hate to see companies get 'too big' or 'too powerful' - they cannot just accept they are very successful at what they do and have come back from the brink a few times in the 90s when things were not so rosey for them.

Cue apple wars thread - LOL
