mightbeyou Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 thanks...i guess i would have to stick to a tablet pc instead...though the convenience of having to carry a gadget that could do all those mentioned the size and weight of an ipad would be a great plus...but still im thinking of having one just for the fun of it... ipad has its own market. if the above-mentioned are what you do or what you look for, i suggest you look for different kind of machine Quote Link to comment
orionpax Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 You may wait for the release of the HP Touchpad which runs on WebOS, an OS that can work and run for multiple devices across several form factors thanks...i guess i would have to stick to a tablet pc instead...though the convenience of having to carry a gadget that could do all those mentioned the size and weight of an ipad would be a great plus...but still im thinking of having one just for the fun of it...

i-rivere Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 The iPad is a media consumption device. It is not meant to replace the traditional computer in the creation of media (text, graphics, video, audio). Anyone who does not understand the ethos of the device will definitely end up frustrated. Usually, Windows users checking the device out after driven by its popularity have this misconception. After all, Windows tablets have been created and failed in the market for a decade. They failed because their manufacturers had not realized that tablets would have a different mode of use than laptops. You have fallen into this trap as well although I must say that after logging some time using that touchscreen keyboard, I had become better at it you would have improved too. hi Boom, do you think with the release of iMovie & GarageBand for iPad this turns out to be a semi media creation gadget?? http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2011/03/20110302-10482827--img4660.jpg http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2011/03/20110302-10550536--img4688.jpg Quote Link to comment

johnlove Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 After wanting one when it was first announced, i changed my mind. Why? I spent a day with one (borrowed from a friend) and there are just some things i can't do with it that i can do with a laptop or netbook; it can't multitask, can't handle flash, i can't fiddle with its internals or OS settings, and speed-typing on it without any form of external keyboard was a frustrating task (after 30 minutes of typing a word document i felt like gnawing my fingers off!). The interface was zippy and responsive though just like my IPod. And there lay the problem...it's just a glorified and oversized IPOD/IPhone, there's nothing innovative about it (my two cents). I think i'll stick with using laptops and netbooks where i can actually perform computer-centric tasks. I think I am happier if I had a laptop with touchscreen. Quote Link to comment

Guest Serenity12 Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 i have the same question, although my work doesnt entail what he just said. what will make me decide to buy this over other tablets (galaxy, etc.)? i dont play games, im not on facebook, and all i have are books and journals and work files. Would this be worth it? siguro dapat Kindle na lang I use my iPad more as an e-book reader than anything else. So far, I have around 600 books stored in it ( and all of these books were downloaded for free, unlike if you use the Kindle which would have several restrictions I think in format and access). I also get to download the latest foreign magazines for free. When I travel , I also find it easier to just bring it for my e-books and for web browsing. I'm very happy with my iPad and I don't think I could live without it . Hope this helps, doc. Quote Link to comment
