My iPad tryst: I craved, I caved, I gave up

Great movie for a great device

Sent from my iPad.

for thorgal:

Touché

Ok... Intel pushed for ATX cases with cut-out in side panel when they launched the Prescott
they were responsible for ATX cases coming with extra cooling fans, even from OEMs

That's a completely different thing. The micro simcard is no technology or product designed by Apple, it's a standard and afaik I don't see why they are pushing it.
What Microsoft and Intel did was selling their own products in a market that wasn't mature at all (or at least they were selling stuff they kindly borrowed from others )
The regular (mini) sim cards are doing fine and I don't know why they're putting something that small in something so big. It makes more sense to try and put a full size sim card in a Kin phone

you are incorrect and you know it, your view is biased

No, I'm unhappy because you only provide negatively biassed news, which seems to be popular among PC based websites nowadays, Dailytech being the worst of all

let me see...

MS: WINDOWS
Intel: x86

buy me one
you're just unhappy that we're not going crazy over this product

ps: nothing is stopping you from making newspost about iPad which put it in a different light;
I don't "seek out" negative iPad news or reports, I'm still using the same RSS news sources as always

Maybe you guys can give it a try before go out and bash the thing

Which product/technology did Microsoft push to the market ?
Same for Intel.

As if that is unusual for any device bought purely as a "want".

let me see.. might think of a few...
Starts with M end with icrosoft (OS)
or how about *ntel? (dev)

More and more I start to wonder whether the iPad wasn't designed to be kinda useless. I mean, it's a hell of a marketing trick and they can afford doing so. They create bigger iPhone, be very secretive about it in the beginning, then all of a sudden drop a bomb as if a new era has started ... et voila: the perfect mix for a gigantic amount of free advertesing, people all over the world are talking about the iPad, even on the news and on television they're talking about it.

On the other hand, they're also pushing the micro-sim format. It's unbelievable... all of a sudden, all mobile operators are offering micro-sims... Just because the iPad needs it.
Can you imagine any other company able to do something like that ?

//edit: lol@pic

this is the second post I see from an apple using reviewer who returns/sells his ipad because he can't find a real excuse for keeping the device

What an interesting news post For every a$$hole that writes an article like this there will be 100 satisfied customers that you don't hear about.
