Thread: iPAD vs Tablet PC: Forget the iPAD

I see the new iPhone 4 has a gyro. What is the benefit of having one of these?

btw, my new Win7 laptop going well, vast improvement on earlier versions, boots up in a snap

Still grabbing updates off the net though

Games.

Nintendo Wii type games, that allow the iPhone to sense acceleration better than just the compass and accelerometer, by detecting the type of movement better (in essence, it detects movement over six axis, instead of 4 axis.)

It'll be up to developers to utilize it fully.

Oh woe is me. AT&T are the first of what is sure to be a long line of telcos to start dropping unlimited data plans for the iPad.

Yet more gouging from the gullible iturds. The best customers in the world, they just bend over and take it right up the gary glitter.

Which has been my point at the very beginning of the thread, when I pointed out to some that the iPad is obviously not for them, and they would be better served by a laptop or some other 'computer'.

Maybe you should ask the dedicated haters why they feel the constant need to justify their decisions by posting in Apple threads about how crappy this and that Apple product are?

Why is that?

Let it.

They generally only release them once a month, and you can set it to automagically download and then leave them until you want to install them (since most of the time a monthly Windows Update seems to require a reboot for installation).

I'm running it on an Atom-based Netbook and it's fine.

If your startup begins to take longer as you add more apps, have a look at Soluto (one from the BKK Post!). It's quite a nice tool to see what's slowing down your start up and gives you control over what starts and when.

Soluto

Perhaps we're just bored listening to your incessant "This is the best thing EVER OMG!" type threads and feel the need to point out that most of what you write is sycophantic Steve Jobs hero worship, sprinkled in with a little executive self relief?

Hey, buddy, whatever gets you through the night -- or maybe your incessant antagonistic posting is just a heaving dose of envy, with a hearty sprinkling of cognitive dissonance (big word - look it up). Seems more than likely.

Whatever Duckhead. Go and find some more big words in your Thesaurus; who knows, one day you might actually impress someone with them.

^ Inability to comprehend big words, noted.

I'll use easy to understand language in the future when addressing you, if that'll suit you better. Sorry 'bout your parents skimping in the wrong place.

Oh dear, parent issues as well?

Explains the medication.

Please post a picture of a linux product or maybe a bunch of linux people outside a store waiting for the release of the latest linux phone or laptop.

Cute misdirection, in order to deliberately pretend to not getting slack's point.

Linux users have their own equivalents of these events, and he clearly stated the locale, conditions of venue. You chose to be an idiot.

Thanks.

That's odd, my "buddy". He made a straightforward request which supports his point, viz:

Please post a picture of a linux product or maybe a bunch of linux people outside a store waiting for the release of the latest linux phone or laptop.

And you accuse him of misdirection, yet evade responding to his request?

Come on, my "buddy", you can do better than that.

See, when you have to explain a joke (as Slack made a pretty good joke), then the audience (that's you) is simply too dense to bother with -- and it's really unfortunate that both you and Dug are unable to have a bit of fun. Pity.

On the other, that's quite the roll you're on -- I think you missed a thread, though. Don't let me stop you.

But my "buddy" - you still haven't answered his request.

Is it because you can't?

As I said:

You'd actually understand what I'm saying, and that I *have* answered his request, if you weren't so dense - which is not my problem, of course.

I'll leave you to ponder that one, pal.

mac jokes ? is that like a blonde joke without being funny ?

"Pal"? You mean you're not my "buddy" any more? *sniff*
