Can We Consider The New Ipad A Computer?

I still can't believe that teh Ipod is the runaway success of the mp3 player market tbqh, shows how many gullible hipsters there are in the world. Same goes for the "revolutionary" Iphone that needs to be hacked to have any real useability over any other smart phone.

I agree it's frustrating at best how much domination all the apple crap has. I basically had to buy an ipod cause the thing i wanted to use it most for was music in my car and ipods seem to be the only one with support from most headunits. Sound quality on them still sucks a fat wang but i guess thats what you get

i don't have that much music (only about 3gb of it on the computer), and back in the cd i had a 10 disc stacker, then they started bringing out cd players that played mp3 format and i've been using that since (cd player in the car is about 7 years old now). have a cd player at work that plays mp3's at work as well. so since i get 10 hours worth of music on a disc i just burn a new cd every few weeks once i get sick of the old one

Thats what I do marc, I can understand the convenience of having a larger and reusable data source, but I'd rather have a provision for a USB stick or memory card in my car CD player.

I've got a DVD player in my car that reads MP3s... so that's 8Gbs of music there

and I wired up an input for my phone, or any other 3.5mm jack capable device (read:has headphones)... My phone has 16Gbs, so that's 24Gbs of MP3s at any one time to choose from without the need of having to carry around an MP3 player...

Take that Apple!

Looking at its specs it seems like just a bigger, higher spec iPhone... nothing really new, just bigger hardware

it had a lot of potential, just the shitty OS is limiting it.

it cant even multitask..

i hope that this gets rejected by consumers so that Apple have to eat their hats for being such pretentious wankers.

It had no potential, it would have been an ok entry level device 8 years ago.

Apple consumers had pre-ordered the iPad before release date, and prior to knowing exactly what they buying. Apple users... you make me LOL

[mad082]

apple could just send them out a piece of cardboard with a picture glued to it and i think even then 80% of apple fans wouldn't complain, LOL

[bozodos]

but as usual, ill informed wankers will laud it as being the 'next big thing'.

I refuse to even use the bloatware that is Itunes and the whole Ipod thing (which can only ever have music from one pc put onto it at a time).

[mad082]

if the iphone is compared to a rock, would the ipad be a boulder?

[MSTRshenanigans]

I like the iPhone and all it can do jailbroken - name one mobile on the market that can do all the things a jailbroken iPhone can...

This iPad though is the silliest thing ever... I would buy a Google Document reader/kindle over this thing lol

The Ipad is a fancy embedded computer system. Which is still classified as a computer.

When the word "computer" comes up most would only think of the platform computers (ie PCs).

So yeah, I say they are computers, just a very overpriced POS one that targeted at Apple fan boys/girls.
