lol what's apple doing... They tweak the designs (for the better) of already existing products and sell it super high to morons (like us who can't stop craving apple products)
Apple is big because they sell stuff super expensive and people actually buy it. Essentially we are paying $1000 bucks for an operating system, and the design is a bonus, but that's about it...
Now I know people are going to raging on me, so just to be clear: It's my two cents
I'm sorry, but you're wrong. Where are you getting the $1000 for an OS? I paid $29.99 for Lion... Since when is the hardware free?
A friend of mine put it perfectly a few years ago.
If you were shopping for a refrigerator and their were two to chose from;
#1, cheaper, but were told you had to spend X amount of money a year to maintain it and will most likely be out dated within the month(PC).
or
#2, pay more, built with quality and last longer - owes you no money when you upgrade next(Mac)
Which would you buy? You would buy #2. Apple builds high quality computers and products. I am more than happy to pay a 'premium' for a Mercedes-like computer over a cheap Toyota. Either buy a Mac or buy a PC. Up to you. But IMO, I'll pay the extra for something I can rely on.
Available now, but not in the UK store
Getting this >.<

Worked for me on my iPhone.
It won't be as
1, it's based on WebKit
2, AppStore apps, "thanks" to Apple, are not allowed to use private API's to provide as stuttering-less scrolling and as good JavaScript as Safari.
All in all, it'll be slower than Safari for both scrolling and JavaScript.
What the what?
Maybe I am misinterpreting - but one can't read an iBook on anything other than an iOS enabled device. If one rents a movie on iTunes - they can't watch it on their kindle fire. And so on.
If by flexible and open you mean that they are fortunate to have other companies develop apps to allow their content on Apple's devices... then sure..
Just tried to download it here in UK and it started then said "the item you tried to download is no longer available".
WTF?!
WTF?!
I was wondering how far I was going to have to read before I ran into a Google-hating Apple fanboy. Post #17, not bad compared to yesterday.
Then don't use it, nobody really cares.
Not entirely true. Thereis an app that lets you read your books outside of ibooks. Also there is an app that will let you watch itunes movies outside of itunes/quicktime. Obviously this won't work for rentals though. It is called reqiuem. And yes, it is legal if used properly.
See if this is another iMame and has snuck through only to be pulled, I'll be pissed.
just downloaded the browser, it is very nice! Nice to be able to select my other browser tabs and the ui is solid to me.
Ahhhh.... (breathes a sigh of relief and excitement) this post brought to you via Google Chrome for iOS on iPad.
Works pretty good so far. Love the tabbed browsing instead of selecting open pages like in Safari.
Yes, that is what I mean. Granted, it is Apple not allowing others to have it's video and book drm capability, but as far as a 'from the consumer' POV, I can truly shop for the best price.
I've actually now done two things this week that I never did before. That is move the native Mail app and Safari off the Dock of iOS and replace them with Gmail and Chrome. Whoa!
