    Look here Nez: http://www.apple.com/
    Someone did the same kind of comparison chart for the iPhone as well… 32 million units later…. and everyone said the iPod will be a flop… 200 million units later… so I guess we’ll see if anyone buys it.

    @baron I didnt want to replace the cigaweed potd :p

     

    Anyway there is plenty of flaming going around about the ipad and it’s comparisons with the ipod or iphone but the reality i happen to think both of those items were needed a lot more then a large touch screen (everyone has a phone and the iphone was revolutionary). Sure it is handy but if push came to shove would you get a ipad over a iphone (if you didnt have a phone, or more so had a feature phone), or would you say if you had a iphone or similar smart phone get this as your main laptop/bigger internet device? — This of course excludes people with a, heaps of $$$ just falling out of their back pocket, and b, fanboys/people who want to look cool with no plan for true data/creative creating.

     

    Do I think my parents would like this… probably until they saw the price tag. I see people saying ‘well stev isnt aiming for g33ks he is aiming for people who brought the ipod touch/iphone’ and I think this is true… I just dont think you need both so they could very well canabalise their own sales. More then anything I am disapointed, i desperately want some movement in the laptop space so that we can get something that is more a long the lines of mobile phone sleep/awake functionality. I want my laptop always connected to a mobile network just like my phone is, but i want it to manage power the same too, when we get this (similar to the proposed ipad 10hr usage/month standby) we will look back and wonder how we lived without it.

     

    /end rant

    Regarding the iPad joke, no feminists ever complained about the ThinkPad.

    In fact I don’t think anyone even made jokes about the ThinkPad.  I guess that word in isolation just has different connotations to when you combine it without something else.  e.g. wordpad, notepad etc.
