Can't These Other Computer Manufacturers Step Up?

Or are they just saying "no mas" to Apple? Apple just put out their 2nd Gen. Ipad and the 1st Gen. is better than anything out there right now!

[Panthers128]

the ipad is a waste of money and i assume you meant tablet manufacturers

Tablets are the future of the computer world.

If you like Angry Birds instead of Dragon Age and Battlefield sure. Otherwise it's a pretty friggin niche market. Find someone who will blow more cash than a phone costs yet slightly (SLIGHTLY) less than a computer on a piece of equipment that's more "neat" than useful.

Things apple does better than other companies;

hype

high prices

crippled software

and again.......hype

the ipad isn't technically superior to it's competitors, simply more expensive and alot more hyped.

Mostly true. Just like the Ipod. I've always found that Creative MP3 devices are far superior to Ipods. Ipods handcuff you to their format where Creative could handle just about anything. They just didn't have the money to put out flashy commercials or anything so they weren't that big. Other companies like Archos and whatnot still put out better devices than Apple.

Look back at the last decade. Here is the business plan of most consumer tech...

Wait to see what apple does. Rip it off, only less intuitive.

Apple is not for you computer nerds who want to tinker with everything. It's for the 90% of us adults who just want something easy and functional.

Apple sucks IMO. The Mac platform blows for my basic needs (may be great for others, but not for me) and I neither own nor need a smartphone, mp3 player, or tablet. If I ever did decide to buy a smartphone, tablet, or mp3 player I'd buy something else just because that company strikes me as arrogant, pretentious, and WAYYYYYY over-hyped.
