Looking to buy a Tablet?

Nah, my problem is that iPhone has more features than an iPad making iPad completely useless in all ways imaginable. Also, rocks are fun :P

I think we should actually be fair, Ace. I can totally throw an iPad at a passing car and still get the same effect as if I was throwing a rock. I would probably get more entertainment out of it because that person would be so confused as to why a random iPad was thrown at his/her car.

Tomoya... he's just pointing out that people who think that tablets are the "future" (especially Apple's iPad's) are sorely wrong. Why are we dumbing down our computers just so it looks cool or can have a big touchscreen? There are netbooks that do all of those features that the iPad 2 cannot AND it has comparable battery life.

Again that goes back to the nature of the market. I'm sure they already have the technology of creating a tablet that rivals a gaming pc, the technology isn't the issue, it's profit vs giving what the public want.
This isn't a communist market where products are built with quality and meant to last forever. They're designed to be constantly upgraded every 3-4 months or 6-7 months or 12 months.
To me it seems like the companies are banding together under democratic solutions to rip the public off together rather then fight it out like dogs, but thats to a certain extent.
And no we are not dumbing down our computers. The tablets will only get better and better as the years pass by, just like phones.
