And tablets are luxury devices. There's not really any point other than the enjoyment. Theyre not meant to replace a laptop.

My dear girl, there are some things that just aren’t done. Such as, drinking Dom Perignon ’53 above the temperature of 38 degrees Fahrenheit. That’s just as bad as listening to the Beatles without earmuffs. Last edited by 007; 07-20-2011 at 03:17 AM.. |

I compare Apple products to the Nintendo Wii - the masses love that shit, but it's not for me.

Apple: iPad Cannibalizes Sales of Macintosh PCs
http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/mobile/...ntosh_PCs.html Kind of like how the IPhone cannibalizes sales of Ipods....there have been whispers that Apple might stop making IPods. |

It's simply a matter of volume. IMO, where Apple does the most markup is on its computer hardware, and that's a much, much smaller percentage of revenue. |

I just think 16gb is not enough. If you plan to store pictures/movies/videos/books/magazines/music/etc 16gb disappears quickly and fast. 32gb gives you some breathing room where you do not have to check the "about" and see how much space is left. 64gb is the best choice, but you're talking a ton of more money.
Also to add, you can't add space via an sd card slot. |

This is like saying that Froot Loops are priced way too high because Froot Rings are almost as good and are 35% less than Froot Loops. |
