It just frustrates me when apple makes products that could do so much more but your not allowed to if it doesn't result in apple getting most of the money. Did you know that Iphones have FM radios in them but they never released the SDK for it it because they think you would stop buying mp3s from ituuuuuunes.

Fathom Zero May 9th, 2010 01:38 PM

Well, I've already cracked into it, but honestly, I don't need it to do much more. It has replaced my laptop; I sold it to buy the iPad. And I had a Toshiba tablet and a Gateway one. They were amazing. Definitely recommend the Tablet PCs. Unfortunately, most of the tablets and such are moving to slates that you can only use fingers with. I loved those pens. :(And you can't tell me that Apple was afraid that radio would kill mp3s. That's just d-u-m.

I've never bought anything from iTunes. Just a few things from the App Store, like a word processor and sketch program, which is very righteous. It's Sketchpad Pro, from Autodesk. They're the people that make the AutoCAD software. But yeah, I never played any games on my laptop. I just watched videos occasionally. Having to pull a 17" laptop out of my bag, waking it up from sleep, and connecting to an access point (which takes my laptop forever for some reason), just to watch a Youtube video I wanted to show someone - it just sucks. I can hold my computer with one hand, now. Because that's how I see it.

I understand not liking Apple. I've disliked a lot of their products. I don't like the iPhone. I don't like the iPod. iMacs are alright. I like the all-in-one design. But I bought this because I saw what it could do for me. It's all I need. It can do a number of things and it does them well, but, of course, it can't do everything.

Also, if a pen-computer is what you want, I've got a really nice pen that you can use on the iPad's capacitive touchscreen. It works very well in the sketch program. Also, I can type as fast on the on-screen keyboard as I do on a regular keyboard. The auto-correct, while it has been frustrating a couple times, fixes whatever couple errors I have had.

:rolleyes

I want something that can replace my laptop, too, but I don't think this is it. I might wait until wrist mounted HUDs are out.

You might want to try it first, if you can find one in Tazmania. It's bizarre how fast I can type on it. Of course, if you can't really touchtype, it doesn't really make a lot of sense. But if you hunt and peck for keys, then you're gonna be slow anyway so it doesn't matter.

Zhukov May 10th, 2010 08:53 AM

I type at blistering speeds. But I suppose the point to try it makes sense, even though I usually hate these sorts of things (TREND).


Also, there is no zed in my home state, yet everyone puts it in. WHY?

Fathom Zero May 10th, 2010 10:59 AM



And it's zeeeeeeeee, you big dummy. :rolleyes

Grislygus May 10th, 2010 11:13 AM

Tasmania, New Zealand, Australia, and Britain can spout off all the zeds they want if they can learn how to pronounce "paella" >:


Except the English are the only ones who are uppity about it, so... I guess... whatever, I don't care anymore

I said "zed" just then rather than "Z" for this exact reason :lol

I actually prefer the American take on the letter, since it rhymes better.

Evil Robot May 10th, 2010 11:35 AM

Whose Zed?
Zeds dead baby, Zeds dead.

Why does Apple keep putting out stuff with touch screens on them >:

Some of us don't want to get the screens dirty with our grotesque, fat fingers >:

Evil Robot May 11th, 2010 12:44 AM

And that is most of my issue with apple as well.

I wonder if a stylus would work though? Like the DS one

Fathom Zero May 11th, 2010 08:37 AM

It requires a different kind of stylus, but yeah. I've got one. And it's easy to wipe completely clean if you want to. I don't really care because I've got a screen protector that blocks almost everything.

Evil Robot May 12th, 2010 10:58 PM

Does it have an app that enables fluoride support?
