I like how the suspects are all black.

Shows how nothing in NYC has changed since the '30s.

they are getting what apple and the general media has told them they want to get. it doesnt mean it would actually be the best for their situation.

Because the only reason they "want" it is likely because they think "Huh, it'd be nice to have a multi-purpose portable touch screen device. I'm older and am not tech savvy, so I'll go with the first shiny product I see on television".

At least in this case.

Also I find it funny that your name is ifaux. Faux means fake. iFake, seems applicable in this situation, blindly defending something only because you're so blindly brand loyal you won't even argue against our valid points and can only say "it's his money to waste"

iPads ain't that bad actually, I used one and I can see why people may want one. Its convenient, has a simple UI, and isn't a clusterfuck to use.

Yesterday I went out and tried some Android Tablets (Galaxy Tab 10.1, Xoom, etc.) and I really like them. Even the Xoom is decent in my opinion. I've been wanting an HTC Thunderbolt but I have to wait for my current plan to end/use an upgrade so I'm used to the Android OS, so I knew a few things on the tablets. What I really like are the weather/time apps running on the home screen, which is way better than the tiny time on the iPad's top bar with battery left and whatnot.

If I was out looking for a tablet to get for more flexibility and features, I'd go for an Android tablet, but since I've had all my things on my iPod Touch including apps, I wanted to get an iPad instead because it did what I wanted it to do, as well as run apps I had already purchased, and play games from the app store (Infinity Blade, GTA: Chinatown Wars, etc.) I don't hate Android Tablets, but I hate when people start talking shit about an iPad and that everyone who buys one is stupid just because it's from Apple.

If they enjoy it when they use it, and it does everything they want and they're happy with their purchase there is not a fucking problem. i have been arguing against your ~valid~ (aka OMG IT'S APPLE FIND EVERY SINGLE LITTLE FLAW) points.

if i blindly defend, you blindly attack.

right cause nothing interfered with that decision or made them unaware of other options. My mom bought an iPad, and while I come home once and a while and fuck around on it, she was never even aware she could get something that could do anything like that before it. I'm not even saying it's a bad piece of technology, it's not, it's interesting, but holy shit can you act more like the standard macfanboy? You keep bringing up 200$ android tablets that DO suck, why don't you bring up something fucking relevant? You know, an actual argument rather than an easy picking point.

so it's okay for them to just not be aware they could have another product because of brand recognition? I'm okay with the iPad, but to say that someone shouldn't look for a competing product or at least research the options... Cmon.
