Apple

So what do you guys think of the IPad 2?
Amzing isnt it? its a very slim media type thingy WOW, and to think, no-one ever thought of the idea before, prehaps that dream i had of a me holding slim portable pc called a tablet was really a dream
Oh wait it happened to me a few years ago, before apple even invited the iphone
Come on guys, yes Apple do make "nice looking" products but why the hell do a lot of you act like they are superior to everything else?
Ipod, yeah ok it was a good looking mp3 player for the time, but it was still bulky as hell & didnt offer USB plug & play
Also its MY IPOD, i paid for it (and it wasn't cheap) so let me use MY SOFTWARE on it, not your crappy itunes that likes to format it everytime its plugged into a new computer or has a habbit of freezing while eating all my cpu/ram resources
Apple devices wouldnt be scoutenized? (spelling?) so much if they didnt offer half as much for twice the price
IE: Apple macbook, if you want a 512gb SSD drive in your new macbook you have to pay £990, yet if you want a 1tb in your alienware you get it for £650 (ok not twice as much but point still stands)
IE2: http://www.jigsaw24.com/product-details/m587ata - Costs how £2.6k inc vat
You could buy a top of the line Gamming/CAD Pc with 2,3 or maybe even 4 times as much ram, 2 6870's in corssfire/sli? (is that the new top of the line AMD card?) and an i5 at 3.5 ghz (overclocks to 4.2 with only 1 or 2c temp increases, 4.7 at a push with 15 - 25c temp increases but the voltages will kill the processor quicker) and then add on a monitor of the same size or dual monitors of a smaller size for the same price easily
Then you can go & install OSX on top of that with hackintosh (i'm debating wether to install OSX on my laptop)
Also, wouldnt that PC be upgradeable? And parts are easy to access/replace & dont invalidate any warranty, last time i checked macs aren't that easy to upgrade
Many exmples exist of Apple charging over the odds for things that "look nice" and screwing customers over (Iphone 4 fiasco anyone) Most companies would have done a recall but nooo, Apple are too proud for that & instead offer a case with an RRP of £25 (which could be brought elsewhere for what? £5,£10?)
Nice to see people flocking to buy the Ipad 2 when its using the same tech as Ipad 1 just with a camera & everything more tightly compact, oh and your Ipad 1 accessories wont work with it so that £50 dock/keyboard you brought for your Ipad is not comaptible with your Ipad2
and on that note i laugh at you all lining Steve Jobbs pocket's, i'd rather spend my money on a dell tablet/laptop in one & donate the change to charity, at least then i dont have to spend stupid money buying a keyboard, or money to buy a dock to make it easier to charge
Anyone else have an opinion on Apple? I'm sure i'm not the only one on here who dislikes them & what they stand for
Finally its good to see a lot of people starting to choose HTC/Android over Apple & the Ios, Has the Iphone finally gotten flash player yet? which tbf 99% of websites use in some form
