OT – iPad 2

[briansd1]

For you phone guys… Why won’t they make the iPad and other tablets be able to make cellular phone calls. The iPad is just a big iPhone IMHO.

I would like to use a tablet as a phone with a headset.

Maybe other tablet makers could one up Apple and add that feature.

Resistance is futile. I’m not a fan boy, I’m not an engineer but I’m also not clueless, I’m a realist. The fact remains that apple products by and large function better, look better and hold their value better. I used to get pissed, I remember buying my accessories on e-bay direct from china (av cables, car dock fm modulator) and then when either I uprgaded software or phone version, sudenly the damn thing knew I bought a cheap knock off and refused to cooperate with it. There’s no reason to spend $50 on an apple a/v jack, but in the end, I succumbed. Because it’s about stuff working. I have a drawer full of old chargers adn phones and accesories that have no value, but my de-commissioned iphone 3g, even more than two years old, has value, all of the accesories still work on my iphone 4. My employer gives me a free smart phone of my choice but will not buy an iphone, usually, I just use my iphone after I’ve yelled at the other phone for a while, 90% of the planet thinks like me, that’s why there are lines.

I hate it like I hate car shopping (which I am still doing). I hate that german cars cost twice the money for parts, it makes no sense. I resist, I look at domestics, I talk myself into them at times, but i have yet to pull the trigger because somewhere between the ford or dodge dealer and my house, I’ll see a 6 series convertible or a porsche and think that i can have a used one of those instead, I’ll have more fun driving it, I’ll admire it, I’ll enjoy the unearned sexual attention of the opposite sex, I’m only gonna live one, why the hell am I resisting. Cause i tell myself I don’t need those things. But the detractors of my dream car are not found in my apple gear, cause my apple gear has the sexy of a 6 series with the reliability of an accord. It just costs a little more and it’s stats aren’t as good.

Case in point, I’m typing this on my very powerful PC, but if I move to my mac, I wouldn’t have the typos that i have, because my mac corrects everything I write and I never asked it to. Someone mentioned the iWoman or iDate, the analogy works, if apple were a girlfriend, she would always look good, she would always be ready to go, she would know more secrets than victoria and she would never complain.m She wouldn’t be inexpensive and there would be other models with more modifications and better statistics. But I wouldn’t care, as much as others told me there was something better, i wouldn’t believe them and if i did I still wouldn’t care, I’d write them off as being jealous or thinking about today, cause my gal will still be able to hold my attention years down the line.

Yeah, it’s creepy, fight it as long as you can, but I still maintain that if my house was on fire, the first non living things I’d try to save would be my iphone and my macbook pro. The rest is just crap.

That’s what I’ve always said. And the competition does not have a prices advantage over Apple.

Toyota and Ford do sell a lot less than BMW.

However, I’m still rooting for Android… Otherwise, we’ll have no choice but to make monthly contributions to the Apple God every month. I’d rather not pay anything beyond the initial purchase price.

Funny that you started your post with this. I totally agree, but not for Apple products. Resistance is futile for Android when you’re talking about smart phone. Android is growing quickly. Android’s market share has already surpassed all other OS, including iOS. iOS market share has plateau. 5-10 years from now, I bet Android vs iOS will be a repeat of Windows vs Mac.

While you might grab your iPhone and your mbp if your house is on fire, I’ll grab my kid and my phone (so I can make calls) and nothing else. I don’t care about my computer because all of my data is in the cloud, so I can buy another hardware. I used my iPhone 2G and 3Gs, but at first chance, I jumped to my Nexus one and never looked back. I recently tried to use my 3Gs again and I can’t use it for more than 1 day before switching back. Once you start using voice search, voice input, Google map/nav, native G-Mail/Google Voice app, you’ll never go back.

It’s funny you mentioned about auto spelling correction on Mac. Windows with Firefox has been doing that for the last few years already.
