thats probably the majority of the ipad users i guess..
its like cars. theres the small community that likes to mod their cars and ones that can care less about their cars. ones that buy bmw's and benz's just for looks and not what manufactures built them for. there are lg's that drive m3's and can care less about the car. do you think they bought the car for the performance? i doubt half of them did. you probably saw the large population of the people that can care less about thier ipads. the rest of the people that mod their ipad, you have no idea how much we actually use them.
i have both the iphone 4 and the ipad also. the ipad can do more things than the iphone for sure. i actually prefer browsing website on the ipad over a computer/laptop and even the iphone. sure it might be a pain in the ass to carry around, but i only use my laptop for school and the ipad can achieve all my needs. i like the ipad even more because i get notifications (social and for work) and i can easily write down what i have to do in the app, "things" (its like a agenda) and the ipad doesnt lag like a bitch when i run alot of things. the ipad is alot more user friendly and accessible imo. i hear alot of "the ipad sucks cause you cant type stuff in word docs and no flash". i oppose that because there are apps where you can save stuff in pdf's and word docs and add ons and apps that can run flash. "notes plus" is even better than microsoft word imo cause you can highlight stuff faster and make charts easier than ms word. then you can save it to a pdf or email it to yourself. if you know how to use your ipad, its way more convenient than using a desktop/laptop. the ipad loads apps in a few seconds whereas computers take more time. you can switch programs easily with multitasking.
i wouldnt say "the ipad is a fail". its not a fail product because there is actually a pretty good demand for them. you cant just say its a fail because there are people do useless shit on them. in fact most of the people i know just use their computers to go on facebook, twitter, blogs, forums, music and homework. wouldnt that make computers fail? different products have different uses and i fully beileve apple achieved what they wanted to make. they made the ipad for a reason. although the ipad may be over-rated and overpriced, i wouldnt say its a fail. i am satisfied for what i paid for and i would say that its actually pretty efficient. im not a apple fanboy either, i actually prefer android over iOS but iOS is so developed i love it.
i hope no offense was taken, but im just trying to say that the ipad isnt a "fail" and it most importantly
is efficient. once again, different consumers use their products differently. just because a product is over priced doesnt mean its fail. there are many things a ipad can do a laptop cant do too btw. the ipad is awesome for entertainment and can achieve things for work and that is already kick ass.. i cant see myself playing game or being entertained on a bus by a laptop.
im not a apple fanboy btw. i dont like mac computers.
