LOL Why are Apple fans so sensitive? People say Sony fans are bad (The same people). I'll stick to my Windows based devices when it comes to laptops/desktop/notebook as they are better value for money and provide me with real world usage.

Because everyone is trolling Apple products without any shame?

If I say Windows is disgusting, or that one of their tablets is lame, overpriced and useless, everyone goes crazy.

Maybe that's because iphone/pad/mini/touch/ iteration x generally doesn't bring much in the way of innovation , especially when the competition has been there, done that, got the damned t-shirt all the while at a lower cost to the end user. Granted some people may be trolling, but some are trying to be open minded and realistic. Are we only allowed to praise Apple in here or you'll report us? There's two sides to every story. BTW this isn't directed entirely at you just the general internet populace.

There's a difference between "I think the product is not very innovative" and "Boo Apple is disgusting I can't tell the difference between an iPad and an iPhone!" or calling it the most senseless product in the history of electronics.

Some people (not on this thread) often question Apple fanatics' intelligence. I don't have mental problems for buying Apple products.

Gosh, do we really need this childish attitude?

Areym, Chevinator123, Selnor and Mummelmann, you all have been reported.

OT: Fantastic news, I might get it this on Christmas if the price is good.


Excuse me? Is this a joke? I think the iPad is silly and you report me? I also think that handheld consoles are boring and that the x-box 360 makes too much noise, why don't you report me for that too?

An iPad Mini is senseless, that is my honest opinion.



I like to call it the I-Pod Touch Macro.

Don't think the image showed up on my other post. Screen real estate comparison.

Isn't the Ipod touch pretty much the mini Ipad?

The ipod touch (even the newer 4" one) doesn't compare screen sizewise to the ipad. The "mini" seems like it could be a good compromise between the ipod touch and the ipad.

(The ipod touch looks bigger because it is still in the packaging. The iphone is right on the ipad.)

"Information about operating system share is difficult to obtain, since in most of the categories below there are no reliable primary sources or methodology for its collection"

Net Applications has estimated global desktop market share of Windows 92.2%, Apple 6.36%, Linux 1.41%

As of June 2011, ~29 million iPads sold - This is pretty poor actually. I expected IOS mobile much more influential than I thought. Desktops and netbooks are still killing Iphone and Ipad.

An excellent demonstration of why we aren't going to use web usage to settle this bet. Your first citation pegs Windows at 69% usage, your second at 92%. Neither tells us anything about units shipped.

Luckily, we have two products launching at nearly the same time, so hopefully a year from now both companies will be kind enough to share numbers with us.

smbu2000 already set you straight on the iPad numbers, but I'll note that we're just a few days from Apple's next quarterly report. It's quite possible that Apple has sold its 100 millionth iPad by now.

Traitor. How dare you not support WiiU 100% We will not have this filth support Apple products when you are supposed to be a Nintendo fanboy.



We shall see if it lives up to the hype. There was plenty of hype around the iphone 5 launch and i was a little disappointed, i'm not expecting too much now.
