So locking, freezing, and lag under stress isn't buggy enough. Or how about it took WEEKS for the google servers to respond to our sign in attempts to the app store on my wife's captivate. Couldn't buy apps, couldn't sync calendars, nothing. And then out of the blue on day it just worked. No response from google (You can't even contact them for tech support) and no reason it should have accepted the information after multiple failed attempts. One thing I will say is that when it works it's a very satisfying experience. The apps are scaled for the device and work very well. The problem is that I've still to have an Android device in my house that doesn't freeze up and require a hard reset. I've never had to reset any of my iPhones or any other of my Apple products for that matter. Maybe I'm just lucky, but judging from past experience and sales numbers it looks like there's a lot of lucky people out there.
Thanks. Yes, Honey=Vista. Vista=Ugly. Batt Life will be ugly.![]()
The same 75 percent of people won't know why they can't access flash sites either LOL....
Just saying - you can't argue it both ways...
Xoom battery life is a TANK. Trust me after using it for 1 week it is utterly ridiculous how long it last with Wifi+3g turned on. 12 hours+ with heavy use of email, web, video, IM's, document editing and music playing in the background
The counterpoint is that Apple can't shorten a $500+ product's effective lifespan to 12 months. They just can't. Otherwise they'd alienate a sizable section of their market. The sweetspot is keeping enough customers around, keeping things fresh for the more techy, and keeping up on cutting edge technology. This is an excellent update for what it is. That last 5-10% of weight or thickness isn't easy to shave off. A much faster processor is a huge upgrade for what people will use the ipad for. Revamped Airplay will really start changing up the home user experience.
Like on that classic iPod thread where a couple of posters state "I don't get the fuss, I have all my music on CDs" and "5 gbs, big deal, I only need like 2gbs at most." The future usability is unknown really ... unless people think that ipads are only good for AngryBirds and facebooking. Where was the tablet market 1.5 years ago?

But I ended up buying one on launch day (there was NO line at the store near me in NYC). It was right before my wedding/honeymoon and my reasons for buying it were simply media consumption.
You're radiating your 19month olds partially formed eyes with your lazy parenting.
Yes, the above comment was designed to make you go all defensive and crazy.
My niece loves my iPhone. So I understand really.
You wanted a media consumption toy right before your wedding/honeymoon? Really though?

iPad 1 has a new lower price. Keep up man!
They've always done £1 - $1. It's nothing new. Not fair, I know.

So if I have a 2004 Mac Book Pro, I will more than likely have to upgrade my OS for $129 in order to use the Ipad 1 or 2? That is somewhat of a buzz kill.
Yeah but it doesn't hide the fact that Apple refuses to represent the real reason why the Xoom is more expensive. The fact that it technically is a better unit.
I know what flash sites are, and understand I cant access them. But, at no point have i said this sucks...well there was one time and then a couple weeks later the video was encoded correctly and I was able to view it..
If I were you, I wouldn't believe a word samcraig writes. He's been trolling the iPad forum for months. I'm quite sure he doesn't even actually own one.

Yes, it's the the same as the original iPad, if you ignore the video cameras.
Oh, and the reduced size. And the reduced weight. And the faster CPU. And the faster GPU. And the video mirroring. And the improved speaker. And the choice in colors. And...
Well that didnt answer my question... but my question was more rhetorical.. I knew nobody in this tread would be able to answer.
well that's because it's hard to find one of the 6 people on the planet that actually bought a xoom...
Define "better" in this context.
lol. +1
Both the first and second generation iPad's are basically the same.
There is no outstanding feature in the iPad 2 that makes it a MUST HAVE device.
