I'm told apple fans (the evangelical ones) have an experience similar to that of religious ones... Therefore logic and rationality break down.
Apple has been the man for a few years now. Hell if Microsoft pulled half the crap that apple has recently people would have stormed the gates by now. But hey It's apple so...They get a pass.
Also im pretty sure Samsung did rip off some of apples products. Can't blame em though they do sell. |

Yep they are backstabbing scumbag company. What is Samsung suppose to do put waves in its pads to make it different? Or did apple pay off a Euro judge? Samsung makes better stuff anyway. |

Amazon pad is 300 bucks cheaper anyway and hope they destroy Apple. I will order one tomorrow even if I like the Motorola Zoom far better than Apple crap. |

lol dood thats my local rag u linked
But yeah. Summarising:
1) Apple Aus is afraid of Samsungs marketing power for the Galaxy Tab
2) Apple needs any way possible to stop it, so launches legal action
3) To go further, it bans Samsung AND any other Australian retailer to sell it [img]http://i53.tinypic.com/bebnf8.jpg[/img] |

this means that the next version will be the same thing as today's version, but on a 12" screen.

It's all or nothing I'm afraid.
You either protect your IP or you don't.
The minute you let one miniscule infringement, or even, potential infringement pass - you open it up to everything and anyone potentially infringing your whole back catalogue.
Then, when you go to court about it, the defence will argue you are being picky/selective about who you do and do not sue, which can affect consumer perception.
Apple got there first with the iPhone and it took 5 years for the competition to compete effectively, now it's the iPad's turn.
Sad that people cannot think up an original idea, or, admit that Apple got it right and everyone else screwed up or didn't have the resources to commit to an R&D plan for tablets.
It not surprising what is happening, regardless of whichever camp you are in.
Anyone remember HP's attempt? This is a company that spent gazillions on R&D and killed off their tablet.

Because everything Apple has ever made is in no way shape or form an iteration of a previously established concept. Everything they have ever made has never been done before, they are the truly creative people, and everyone else is riding on their coattails, AMIRITE? |

Twist words much?
'back when the original iPhone was released, there were no phones that had touch-screen and a decent user interface. Yes, I consider that a first, with stacks of R&D behind it.
Whereas the real phone manufacturers like blackberry and Nokia didn't commit enough to developing new technology. The shareholders can clearly see that Nokia screwed up and are loosing market share at an exponential rate.
Tablets are similar, no one was even thinking about committing to that market and they took it by storm.
There is room in the market for more competition - but until they make something which is original, they are looking at the crappy end of a law suit. "Combat in New Eden is either a blob or a work of art...let me paint you a picture" |

Small touch screens existed, as did cellphones. Combining the two doesn't give Apple any exclusive rights, and it didn't take a massive leap in technology to accomplish. I'm pretty sure i heard of cellphones with a touchscreen that existed before the iPhone, also, but i can't find a link amidst all the "OMG iphone" hits. |

IBM Simon... LOL Back then Apple was 'storming the market' with PDA's.
Sure you might find an example where Apple looked great or terrible being the first to do something poorly or well, but the overall picture of a company constantly rushing to fail or succeed first shows only that they are reckless... it's silly IMO to try and focus on one triumph or failure and pretend they copy or innovate.
My personal experience (and I don't pretend it's more than that) has found Apple products to be buggy and weak, but I must give them credit for ergonomics. Their interfaces and devices are always fantastically well designed physically and virtually. Lots of little moments with Apple devices where I wonder why all their competitors don't do this or that. But then the thing freezes, fails, or glitches and I throw it away anyway.

Yes, they even introduced the "death grip" for the iphone. Great ergonomics at work.

I'm waiting a little bit to see how the new Kindle turns out. I was pretty close to getting a Nook Color until I heard about this.
And my reasoning for owning something like this is to have a device I can browse PDFs in an emergency (Veritas VxVM/VxFS, EMC Networker/AlphaStor, old Sun server docs etc). So I really don't need a lot of the fancier stuff a device like the iPad has - and certainly not at that price.

I may have to get a kindle; holding a 1200 page .Net text book is doing my wrist ligaments in. |

My only problem with the Kindle is Amazon is able to control it and delete your info off of it. They took a book off once and refunded people the money without even requesting permission first. Some kid had notes on it and those got deleted as well. He sued and won.
One thing to be able to data mine or store info in cache (phones for mapping info) Quite another to be able to delete and add at will without permission first. |

I remember that. It was a book which couldn't be sold due to copyright issues. But I am told that one can pop one's own PDFs onto the things and that does interest me. |

Perhaps, but that means, no doubt, having iTunes on my machine. I never wish to ee iTunes ever again and, secondly, I am not too chuffed about QuickTime neither.
Since I can get change from -ú100 for a Kindle I think that I will be having a hard time getting an iPad for that.

The iPad replaced my laptop. Windows7 for the desktop. Not sure what my next phone will be, but it won't be another iPhone. The one I have has served me well nigh on 2 (3?) yrs....want to see what I'm missing on other platforms.
EDIT: not a fan of iTunes either. I installed it, registered my iPad and uninstalled it. Haven't reconnected it since. No need. iTunes has to be the worst thing to come out of Apple software-wise...clunky, bloated and difficult to navigate. |
