Ontopic Yet another reason the iPad is not on my list

[Duke]

Well, what IS on your list?

reading fail.

I showed what was on my list in the first post woman!

 

[Syrup Beaver]

Only one item on a list makes for a terribly boring list.

In fact, it's hardly a list at all!

You didn't ask for everything technical list, so I kept it to on topic for tablets.

The current offerings for tablets is limited, so it's a small pool to select from to begin with.

Keep obfuscating your lack of comprehension with bi-partisan blame tactics.

I'd term it a passing whimsy rather than a list.

"A passing whimsy" is what happens the morning after you dine in the fairie garden.

Over 50 ARM-based tablets due to hit the market this year

And this doesn't include convertibles.

 

[Duke]

compared to notebooks, that's a small list.

Add to that, it's a prediction that many (50) MIGHT hit, not a given (wtf Dave, spin control on quotes?)

Add to that, no one even knows what OS they will work under. Much less what apps will be available, means that the list is still small.

naga please.

p.s.

This is a Naga.

FINE, I didn't care about your stupid list anyway, I was just being polite

No, you were being a provocateur.

Why what else do you expect from the lady?

No flash, no Internet tablet

 

[dbzeag]

Agreed. This is the biggest farce Steve made in the presentation.

Why the fuck isn't there a well adopted FOSS equivelent??? Ya know, one that is less shitty?

edit: Flash that is. Tablets are useless to me.

 

[Valve1138]

HTML 5 is supposed to be.

 

[JAXvillain]

HTML 5 is supposed to be.

hey, that's great! that means the ipad will be useful in 3-5 years when everyone gets rid of flash on their sites!

In general or for Apple? I doubt they've opened things up enough for people to be able to figure things out to programm.

 

[Applesauce]

The ipad is sooo retarded looking.

 

[dbzeag]

The ipad is sooo retarded looking.

This I completely disagree with. It is by far the sexiest looking tablet ever conceived.

It's just a large iTouch

 

[Mean Mr. Mustard]

Certainly its an elegant device, but it really seems to lack purpose.
I mean, purpose other than filling Jobs' pockets with benjamins.
