The ipad 2 is a piece of crap

[qnet]

Be grateful we even HAVE these devices. Think of how amazing the product IS instead of what it isnt.

-sigh- Why do i even try anymore?

To be fair it's a fine line between being a too negative hater and over-emphasizing the negatives and being a too loyal fanboy and downplaying the negatives.

Best to be objective and look at both the positives and negatives when discussing gadgets IMO. No gadget (or anything else) ever made has been perfect for everyone's needs.

Just a matter of what is best in a certain product category. And iPad 2 is definitely the best tablet yet IMO.

To be clear...I am no fanboy. I am an avid tech lover and reviewer, as well as a writer and teacher. I own a xoom, think its crap right now because of the amount of work needed to be done to make it work right (root,hack,hack,flash,ROM, etc). I own an android phone and love it. Wouldn't trade it for the world. but as far as tablets go, Apple has my vote. I own windows computers and can not really stand mac computers as a gamer.

I'm similar to you except I have a Imac and like it very much. I also have a Android phone but, like the Ipad as a tablet better. I had the Xoom but, returned it. It has a lot of potential but, not quite there yet.

Your status is an iPad entheasatist (I know I misspelled this), I found this so far the most friendliest forum, so next time don't be so blunt. Also here are fact in order for the iPhone 5 to be retina and have a 5 inch screen they have to have a resolution of 720x1080 which is the resolution of some HD TVs, creating a display that high is expensive. I value your opinions on the iPad 2 but don't you think Apple did improve the iPad 2 in various ways. Remember that the iPad is still fairly new and has to have time to mature so it still could improve in lots of ways. When the iPhone 3G was released all they added was 3G and now look at the iPhone 4 with much more improvement.

Of course I know that when you say "get free apps" that you are not talking about cracked apps from a cracked app repository, right?

oops.

 

[hairy]

I agree

After falling prey to Apple's glitz and faux advertising I bought a 64gb Verizon 3G iPad2. After 2 months of using it, I think I will either eBay it, or give it to my daughter. I hate this thing and will never buy another Apple product as long as I live. As far as eBay goes I will have to wait until I get home so I can use my PC to do so. $900.00 plus change right down the gurgler mate.

What's wrong if you don't mind me asking?

 

[minouge]

Similar to what mzhunter asked, I'd like to know, specifically what 'hairy' had said, what exactly made you so unhappy?

I love my iPad 2 but it's definitely not a significant upgrade from the first one. As a heavy user it's a decent enough improvement for me to warrant the purchase of course I like to stay up to date with my gadgets whenever my disposable income allows me to do so

indeed, what is good for one person, will be bad for another, no product can please everyone, not now not ever

heck banks could give money away for free and people would still complain, they are not giving enough away, marketing ploy etc etc

To describe the iPad as " a piece of crap" without actually saying why is strange. As others have posted here, what exactly didn't you like about it?

It almost sounds like you're expecting some rational, well-formulated reason(s) as to their purported hatred of what's essentially just an electronic device. Not biting this one.
