    which 10" tablet weighs less?

    it sure isn't the 1.6 pound motorola xoom, the only android tablet (so
    far) that runs honeycomb, google's tablet os.

    which 10" tablet costs less?

    it sure isn't the motorola xoom, which costs $800.

    $499 is "way too much"? If you own it for just two years that works out
    to less than 75¢ a day...

    for 499 I can buy a real computer.
    That still costs 75c a day.

    I can keep an ipad for 12 hours and that 1000 a day.

    ah, it means gamers will continue to flock to the iPad. and pushing out
    wireless video to a large HDTV screen will be even more smooth.

    then name a single tablet with that many features for less... waiting.

    $499 is extremely cheao when you look at the specs:

    nobody really cares who assembles it, what matters is the precision
    engineering and ecosystem it works within. the iPad is about 6 years
    ahead of anyone else, so you still need to learn what we are talking
    about.

    you can start to learn here:

    or

    This guy an Apple shill, or what?

    And, does he know Apples are made at the SAME Foxconn plant in China that
    makes, Dell, HP, Compaq and others?

    For the smallest memory version? When a single video file can be over a GB
    it's rather limited

    but we aren't talking about fixing we are talking about the engineering.
    apple products are the best made products in the categories they compete
    in, that's why you rarely see them fail. nobody cares about foxconn, we
    are only concerned with having the very best money can buy.

    no, we left the "assembly" business in the 80/90's so there is no point
    to build electronics here. we want to focus on the engineering, that's
    where the good jobs are.

    not sure what you mean? of course apple will continue to race ahead,
    that's why i said ten years. the ipad 2 is just a stepping stone to the
    ipad 3 you moron.

    Why? The fact that it's too heavy has nothing to do with competition

    Yeah, 16GB. That's not much storage at all. Does it have an SD card slot?

    Oh, that's another $30 and can easily be lost or misplaced.

    You mean like the new Macbooks and their stripped screws, unlocked ZIF
    sockets and way too much thermal paste?

    how about $1000?

    it was $18 just 11 years ago, so it will easily be $3500 in the next 14
    years if not before.

    apple will be the centerpiece of "wireless paper" so that's a $6
    Trillion business alone, then volkswagon announced today each of their
    new microbus' will include an ipad embedded into the dashboard.

    http://www.slashgear.com/volkswagon-...icrobus-021373
    33/

    then the FAA just announced pilots can use iPads for their maps! SWEET!

    http://www.wired.com/autopia/2011/02/faa-ipad

    the list of innovation is endless, so expect 90 million ipads sold in
    2012, thus $3500 looks cheap.

    you'll see!

    which basically means you are clueless about technology. $499 for a
    device like this is equivalent to $650,000 some 20 years ago.

    so sounds like you need to get a job and be responsible.

    I fix Foxconn products all day, day in, day out. It is no better than
    anything coming off Foxconn's assembly lines. No special components, no
    special assembly, it's just another of the same.

    And, I care who assembles it. I would do something a lot of people
    wouldn't do:

    Pay MORE to have it made in the USA. Instead of that Chinese sausage
    grinder.
