I loled at the comment about comparing a ds to an apple product two completely different products haha.
Well then you laughed for stupid reasons. All handheld electronics work around the same principles, I could compare the iPad to a DS, a PSP, the Vita and despite the fact that they have different target audiences and purposes, they are developed using the same angle - the portable angle.
Ds is a handheld gaimng device Ipad would be more along the lines of a portable media/computer type product I guess?
Your powers of observation do not cease to amaze.
Wouldn't ever compare it to a gaming device that's for sure and the only reason it's acceptable for them to release a new product every year is because everyone else does.
So, if Nintendo and Sony decide to introduce revisions to their hardware each year, will it be acceptable aswell? I mean, everybody will be doing it then. What eludes iFish and you and what I didn't feel like arguing about with him since he wouldn't accept my stance as equally valid no matter what is that this is about a principle, not a product. It could be applied in any industry.
This seems about correct it's been a year since the last one I'm hoping the ipad 3 get's at least one of the major rumored upgrades that it really needs.
It's been a year. There have been no extraordinary technological breakthroughs. There is nothing to upgrade so-far. This is a cosmetical release so that people swap their iPad 2's for a newer model.
To the comments about what good is a tablet for I say alot I use it everyday at college.Take notes on it,write papers on it,basically anything required by my class I can do on their.Then you got your usual media usages like netflix and watching your own videos.AHell I even make photshopped stuff on their.So no tablets aren't a waste it's just a preference of what you would rather have and some people just don't want really high specced stuff that for sure would cost alot .
Here's the thing... iPads cost alot. I could get a far beefier laptop for the price of an iPad, no problemo. Tablets are only attractive because they have touchscreens, they're the middle-ground between laptops and smartphones but until they move onto "big boys and girls OS'es" they're laughable larger versions of the smartphone, that's that.
