Well, considering you can buy a tablet PC for half its price, yes.

Some people don't know about alternatives/are not ready to spend hundreds (or 200 i guess) on a new company that they've never used before on a product that they probably don't know how to use anyway

wOah someone bought something that i don't like with their OWN money waaaaah
[editline]24th June 2011[/editline]
he was 46 years old for fucks sake. maybe he wanted something that's, you know, easy to use and does everything he needs it to? maybe he has an iPod Touch or an iPhone, so he's familiar with the UI which makes it easier for him to use it.

BRAND RECOGNITION okay?
[QUOTE=Lambeth;30683413]that doesn't really make sense[/QUOTE]
it makes a lot of sense. he's fourty-six years old. why would he go out and get some sub-par chinese $200 android tablet with 1.6 on it for $200 when he can get an iPad which does what a fourty-six year old probably needs (internet, mail, etc) [i]quickly[/i] on a super easy UI. and hey, he can get all of the goddamn casual game he wants.
you guys call apple fanboys brainwashed, yet when the subject of apple comes out you guys do nothing but bash the shit out of them.

God forbid you actually spend 15 minutes on researching, instead of believing what your co-workers or similar tech illiterate persons say.
Same with people who buy cars purely because of the brand, instead of the professional reviews done by trustworthy auto magazines & similar (NOT Top-Gear, that's more entertainment than factual car reviewing).
I don't wanna live on this planet anymore, too many idiots.

the "trustworthy reviews" usually give apple products at least an 9+. and you guys aren't listening. why should he go out and buy some shitty chinese ePad that runs 1.6 that's slower than a sloth with a UI that could be easier, when he can spend some more for an iPad which does exactly what a FOURTY-SIX year old needs (internet and the ability to check mail) and play a casual game every once and a while and has a UI that is easy and he's possibly already familiar with?

Yeah no, they don't rave about shit, you may hear people talk about how much they like their new mac laptop or ipod and how they think it's really great! But that's just people being excited that they got a new thing.

Cry cry cry, people don't understand computers like you do, not everyone spends forever doing computer related things. Especially not a 46 year old, who cares what someone does with their money, stop fucking complaining you god damn fucking idiots. Everyone on this site does nothing but complain about people's use of their OWN money when those people themselves don't see it as a waste.

Inferior how? It's easier to use and it can do everything people that buy it wants it to do.

Anyways, shut the fuck up about how you hate iPads. Can't people spend their hard earned money as they please? An iPad starts at $499, and a Xoom will cost you $799.99 if you don't want to sign up for a contract, which the iPad does not require. Even with this, people still say the iPad is overpriced.

...So according to you, people only say Apple's products are good when they first get them, but after whatever certain amount of time, they don't like them anymore?

He spent his money on it, he can do whatever he wants with it. But being in a shitty world, there will always be someone waiting to steal it.

where the fuck does it ever say he was using it for a company
tetracycline said he was using had an ipad due to brand recognition, i.e. he's familiar with apple and their products
[QUOTE=Ninja Duck;30686137]Hehe
and a Xoom will cost you $799.99[/QUOTE]
Way to pick the shittest Android tablet on the market.

[QUOTE=Fatal-Error;30686681]Way to pick the shittest Android tablet on the market.[/QUOTE]
The only Android tablets I've heard talked about were the Xoom and Galaxy Tab.
Anyways, look at this good use of the iPad:

And pilots are even using iPads to replace paper flight manuals. Android tablets are capable of this too, but the people who made the apps chose the iPad and Apple's Appstore.
[editline].[/editline]
This also reminds me of last year, some guy bought an iPad as a gift for someone in his business, and some kid, in broad daylight (in a busy mall) ripped the guy's pinkie off when it was caught on the bag the thief was pulling. He wasn't jogging in the park, he was just trying to get to his car after buying it in the Apple store.

Those pilots are idiots. That has to be one of the stupidest applications of an ipad i have heard about so far, christ.
don't worry guys you are arguing over an insignificant piece of consumer electronics
you all lose!

Oh, so as long it isn't designed by Apple it's OK to use?
I also found out that they use an app called GoodReader ([url]http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/goodreader-for-ipad/id363448914?mt=8[/url]) for their documents.

Youre an idiot if you think thats what i meant. i really have trouble figuring out how you got from my post to that, i guess some people just read shit then decide it means something else for whatever reason.
An ipad used only for reading flight manuals, an ipad which both has tons of features you will never need for such an application and on top of that your paying way too much money for the hardware that you dont need in the first place.
Internet fight? Look, just stop.
