I do agree that the fact that they close the source is lame, but how is that different from most other products?
Most other companies allow open
development, which I think is where that previous point was going. (which isnt the same as open source)
that is, you don't need (insert owning company)'s go ahead to make and sell your program.
Also it's not meant to be a "computer." It's meant to be able to surf the internet quickly in a comfortable format as well as play with apps.
Well, since tablet is short for
tablet PC, i quite expect it to be something meant to be a "computer", and that is exactly what i want from a tablet (note: i dont actually *WANT* a tablet)
And like Ryos said. People who want a computer that will truly perform well over the top, they buy a Mac. I've known at least 5 or 6 people who were total WoW-heads that bought top end Macs so they could run WoW faster and better.
Generally, if you pay attention to benchmark tests and such, mac v. PC is relatively close with mac having a slight lead in performance, it's never been as crushing a defeat as some people make it out to be (and usually not noticeable enough to your everyday consumer). And of course you can always find highly skewed views in favor of each side, but most reputable sources i've seen usually break close enough to even that it isn't a huge deal (however, this isnt what the topic is about, so i dont wanna derail it. If you wanna discuss this, go elsewhere, make another topic, or whatever)
Plus it's not the exact same OS that the iPhone/iTouch run, it's based on the same concept, but it is different. It's optimized for the larger screen and the better hardware.
You're right, it's not the
exact[/b] same OS, it's
Iphone OS 3.2, the iphone is at 3.1, and apparently 3.2 is going to be only for the Ipad right now. Assumedly, it'll get pushed to phones/pods eventually.
