It's because they just can't be mainstream in ANYTHING. They got small syndrome and need to prove their phone is 0.13 times faster and has a better camera to capture the beautiful moments of mundane life.
It's a phone, it does what it does well, despite what they say. It kicks arse and looks good, but because it isn't pimped like an alienware computer, and don't look , they cry about it. |

| I don't like iPhones because they are made by Apple. The product itself is fairly decent, I just don't want to be associated with all the gay Apple fanboys. |

I was waiting for the iPad introduction before buying an e-reader. Been wanting to jump into the e-reader market for awhile now and decided with a Nook over this and the Kindle because of a few features I like on it better.
As a person that has had to move about 6 times in the past 10 years I find the idea of e-books amazing. Nothing sucks more than moving my book collection.
Granted we are getting to the point where collections are becoming digital 0's and 1's in devices and storage. Eventually I won't know what to put on my book shelves. Movies, music, and books are all on hard drives. It took me awhile to embrace digital downloads with music so I'm jumping headfirst into the e-book market at the beginning.
Once everything is on hard drives I hope that people at lease make cool screens that I can hang on the wall or on a shelf that would cycle through the covers of my music, movies, and books. Imagine all the jobs that will be lost if all consumable media becomes digital. |

wait so does this actually support flash now?
or did they just basically sit down for 5 minutes and say, "lets just make the ipod bigger and give it some ram, processing power, and a bigger hard drive."
seriously don't see why anyone would buy this, really don't |

If you buy the Gen 1, knowing that a Gen 2 will be out within a year with all the features that should have been there in the first place, you're a certified grade A idiot.
This is such a colossal disappointment when you think about what it could have been. If it didn't have an Apple logo, it would be suicide to release this and that's probably the saddest part about all this. |

I agree for the most part. People who own most apple products by in large are young professionals with the dollar to spend and the need to impress, it's a status symbol mostly. However, compare this to other similar devices and Apple have produced something that does look better, has a far better build quality. This world is all about image, we all know this.
Why buy Microsoft's slate when it looks terrible and is probably built like a cheap acer laptop, when you have enough money to buy something that looks good?
The points most people make (even getmuntzel, who makes excellent arguments, but by god do I dislike the twat) are very valid, but like everything in the world it boils down to image.
Would you a woman who had a degree in medicine, healthy as a horse, and knew all the rules to your favourite sporting event, but looked like she was made from Microsoft? Nope.
Smoking hot brunette with no brains and big enough to ski down? Yep. Probably. |

| Well, I would the brunette then run before she wakes up or maybe keep her on my phone for the occasional bit of fun, probably be very good friends with the ugly but smart chick and then eventually find a chick which is both hot, smart and successful :p |

| Introducing iPad: Something to keep stupid middle class wives occupied so they can lounge outside their two-story homes sipping tea and shot of wine while cropping their children's photos all day. It's pre-gen 1 now and just looks like it should have come out back in 2007, but one day it will be able to support Logic Pro, Final Cut, and actually work with flash. But until 2012 comes we'll just have to watch people who have a lot of cash and just don't know any better waste their money on this crap. |
