For the next 10 years? Then Apple is wasting its time working on the
iPad 3?

Um, OK. What does this mean? 9 times faster video? so I can watch a 30 minute
show in 3 minutes?

You can record a 30 minute video in 3 minutes. It is awesome - they tied it
into their Time Machine technology and now you can actually record the
future or the past. Nobody else is doing anything else like it. On their
next update, I have read, you will be able to record what the dinosaurs were
doing in your area. Awesome!

$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.

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.

And, does he know Apples are made at the SAME Foxconn plant in China that

Yep- 7-8" and under a pound would be my preference as well.
> > Still $499

> Still way too expensive
Perhaps, but $349 isn't. I almost pulled the trigger on a refurb
tonight, but my wife and I still don't like the size/weight. I played
with the Android 2.2-based Viewsonic G Tablet at Office Depot today (10"
diagonal like the iPad, but 16x9 so it's a little smaller.) Nice machine
but still a wee bit too large and heavy.
The Viewsonic is actually a nice Android tablet, but at $379 it's no
longer a bargain vs. a $349-399 iPad v1. I'd still prefer a reasonably
priced 7" 'droid tab with a capacitive screen to either. The Velocity
Cruz 103 might have been it at it's new reduced price of $170, but
Velocity stuck a MIPS chip in it instead of an ARM (what were they
thinking!?!) so it's slow and has compatibility issues.
Frankly, considering the iPad's success, I'm surprised more serious
competition hasn't arrived, though Google's partially to blame for
disallowing non-cellular tablets access to Google apps and services like
the Android Market.

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.

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.
