[g8ina]

Nope. Doesn't do a thing for me.

[Mossy]

No No No and No

Apple FTL
Android FTW

[Ferral]

NO!!!!!!!

Apple products are not allowed in my house its all Blackberry an Android for mobile devices

Tablets should only be prescribed by doctors. I think that sums it up quite well. I have never seen a use for a tablet for what I do. Smartphones seem to do everything I need atm .

[ghostdogma]

Screen size aside, the iPad, and every tablet available at the moment, has feature parity with a smartphone. There's nothing that I do that would work better on a tablet than on the laptop and my smartphone I already own. Unless the university I attend & work for goes all digital next semester and insists everyone needs a tablet for textbooks, I really have no reason to consider an iPad.

Also, anyone who thinks an Android or BlackBerry tablet is so much better, it's worth mentioning that neither mobile OS on a tablet (and, in the case of Android, on a smartphone either) is supported by my university because of their lack of consistent security implementation in regards to data or network connectivity. I'm not an Apple fanboy saying, "Suck it!"; rather I'm a well-versed IT guy saying, "Calm down there, fanboy - the grown ups among you make decisions based off of reason, not our irrational feelings."

I donated my iPad 2 to my brother, barely used the thing, mostly use my Android tablet for reading Manga as it's the correct screen ratio. More pixels isn't the solution to the problem that e-ink has already solved.

Have experienced this too in the past, though it has mostly come down to a lack of proxy support because they use over-the-top firewalls. Otherwise can't poke fault at the android implementation.

Nope, my Xoom already does everything I need a tablet to do at a fraction of the purchase price

[kingpotnoodle]

No I won't! My Archos 80 G9 got the ICS upgrade today and is running nice for train entertainment.

The Mrs was totally uninterested in upgrading her iPad2 when I said the software was the same... she said "screen looks nice enough already, why do I want something thicker and heavier and who uses a camera on a tablet"...

[cheesemp]

No it does nothing I can't do on my £100 second hand laptop.

[3dcandy]

Nope, not good enough and too much. Retina display is wasted on a tablet and who wants something thicker. Short memories Apple, you were touting how thin the last iPad was....so how can you justify a new thicker model?

[jnutt]

Sorry I have much better things to do with my money than buy Apple products.

[lkarunan]

No, I will be building a new desktop for the same price.

[edvinasm]

Nope. Had, didn't like.

[CAT-THE-FIFTH]

YES!!

Well,actually,NO!!
