Today whent to an Apple store to try out the iPad. OK, after trying out this for a few minutes, I started to feel this device is quite useless if compare to our laptop. This is only a bigger iPhone with the same OS and almost the same hardware and performance, just it is using bigger capacity battery for longer period of net surfing and video. This device is no way to support the full version of Apple software, just only can use the mobile version, this already enough to call this device sucks. When try to surf net using the stupid Safari, come on, too slow if compare to our laptop or even net book, especially the webpage is full of flash. Come on, this OS is for mobile phone, not this kind of device, the so call net book killer. And I don't know why a lot of people like to use it and give very hugh review, is Apple pay them to do so, haizzz!

well, i can tell u that, cause we are apple fan , ya, its true that it cant support flash, but it really more portable, what's ur laptop weight? 2.3 kg? it really heavy and i pad is just around 1kg, its really a cool staff to show to friend, good looking, and good to touch, i think its touch screen is among the best....

The big advantage of iPad is mobility. And have a darn good battery life.

Also, flash isn't as important as it was 3-4 years ago. Even as a webmaster, I'm phasing out flash banners and limiting its use. And there are quite a few reasons for that.

And no, I'm not a fanboy nor do I own an iPad or any apple product. But I do believe saying that the device sucks is a little premature.

The second posts proves how it gained popularity. I do not 100% agree with your view, but it is not completely useless as you said. For me, i am getting a tablet computer as well. Reason is it is easier to surf lowyat.net. However, the survey shows that 85% new users prefer Ipad over the Galaxy Tab. It is the TREND my friend. If you have money to show off, Ipad is something you want to buy.

that is how Apple managed to get their the Market capitalization exceed the Microsoft's Market capitalization. For me, Samsung Galaxy Tab is my choice for now as Ipad has no front camera. It can only use the micro sim card which can no where to be found and have to spend extra money to buy the sim cutter.

My friend bought the iPad 3 months ago in Lowyat, that guy used it for about 1 week and we got the feedback from him, SUCKs. He is the real owner of 32gb 3g iPad. Now he has kept it inside his room drawer and maybe will take it out to use it once in a while. You see, that guy need to bring along the his laptop at the same time with the iPad, he said iPad is for showing off and surf net only, and I asked that fellow then his laptop also can surf net as well and at the same time can perform a lot of stuffs that the iPad unable to do, why he still need to bring along the iPad to add extra weight to him bag? Now he no longer bring the iPad anymore. See, that fellow wasted RM2500++ for this gadget and now R.I.P in the drawer!

How much he wants to sell his iPad and wat the T&C of warranty?

Depending on the user. This guy is definitely not a suitable user for using the tablet. For me, the purpose i am going to get a tablet because it would be easier for me to watch movies during the long journey on a bus or car. The laptop LCD tend to vibrate with the car as well when i use it to watch movies. Also, i am interested using the tablets to surf the internet while traveling.

I have a 64GB 3G iPad. No regrets queuing up to get one. I take it everywhere, it so convenient to check your emails & do some reading even in the toilet or in bed at nite . Infract I have stopped buying printed magazines such as Dwell, GG & Habitus & purchased online at iTunes store. Just love it.

I thought the Samsung Galaxy Tab is bigger?

Ipad diagonal measurement is 9.7 inch, but the samsung Galaxy Tab is 10.1 inch. Right??

That is the purpose why i want to get a tablet, but definitely not Ipad.

Galaxy tab is 7"


Think ts is the smartest guy, keeping money in his pocket.

I become . I thought the Samsung Galaxy Tab is 10.1 inch. Thanks for reminding me.

+1 even how u compare each brand have their pros and cons.

Hehe.. No prob. U know. U may not completely wrong maybe next month samsung launch another tablet with 10", who knows..

The thing is why ts single out ipad? Other tablet also build for the similar function lor..
