| Jumpin said: I picked up one. It's actually a fairly good device. Apps work a lot better on it than on the iPhone except for Virtual D-pad titles which cause awkwardness. On the plus side, it is superior to a netbook for the applications netbooks are used for; and in the first week, I probably used my iPad for a lot more than I ever used my netbook for (In two years all I ever did was watch Youtube, browse the net, and write documents with the netbook). The keyboard is vastly superior to a netbook, mostly beecause yoou dn't endd up writtting like tthis. The touch screen is vastly superior to anything else on the market, it's an incredibly smooth experience. Also, don't judge touchscreen devices on laggy machines like the Samsung Instinct or some Android phone (even the Google Nexus One, which I have, has noticeable lag). Right now only Apple and Nokia seem to be doing it right. |
First bolded statement above - superior to a netbook? I may be ignorant, because I own neither a netbook or an iPad, but just wondering what you mean by this? I was under the assumption that iPad's couldn't have more than 1 app open at once (may be the same for netbooks, dunno) but please enlighten me on what an iPad does superior to a netbook.
Second bolded - how is a touchscreen keyboard superior to an actual keyboard? Is it because you are used to a full keyboard? or do you have tourettes? I fail to see how a touchscreen keyboard will have a less of a key refresh rate than an actual keyboard... and you know you can change that right? So this point is kind of moot.
Third bolded, why are you comparing an iPad to an Instinct or an android phone? Did I miss something? Does iPad allow you to make and get calls like a cell phone? (And I am NOT talking about Skype) - If you want to compare apples to apples I am fine with that, don't say how a device 20 times the size of a cell phone isn't as laggy.. Obviously it can have a better CPU and be able to deal with the heat from said CPU
