I love Apple products. Their form and ease of function. The iPad is awesome stuff. I love how slick and sexy it is. Then there's the other side of me that is always disappointed.
I held back on the purchase of an iPad because of the pricing. It's a total consumer munching device, with productivity to boot. You wanna buy plenty of goodies for it and store it on board for ease of access. I couldn't own one unless I purchased the 64GB model. I am more than happy owning the Wi-Fi only edition, I have no interest in 3G. The 64GB/Wi-Fi model will run me back $749 in Canada... Before taxes. I'm writing this blog post on a $299 HP Notebook with 160GB of storage... Before taxes.
I know my Netbook ain't no iPad. However, the price was right and she's a tough little bugger. I love my Notebook.
Let's put this into another perspective.
You could go pick yourself up the following and still have change to spare...
$299.99 - PlayStation 3 - 120GB Model
$199.99 - Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker PSP-3000 Bundle
$50 - PlayStation Network Card for Online Store Purchases
$29.99 - Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of The Patriots
$29.99 - Grand Theft Auto 4
$10.00 - The Good, The Bad & The Ugly Blu-Ray
$619.96 Total... Before Taxes.
$749.99 and all I get is an iPad? Kinda sucks...
I'm running off topic.
The iPhone 4 was just released to great sales and hype, thanks to Apple's Kool-Aid. There have been more occasions of hiccups and users aren't happy.
