I keep forgetting you're a kid, ask your parents.

 

Too many people dislike touchscreens for the pads to be anything more than a phase, and in reality keyboards on touchscreens suck compared to a proper keyboard, and are dumb really as they use half the display.

This will ultimately drive a better device, and the question is will Apple innovate then rather than trying to patent an envelope as a symbol for email.

 

Apple have lost their visionary and their innovater and thus it will be a downward spiral from now on.

 

I'm 23.

 

Pads of any guise are not designed to replace a proper keyboard, they are designed to be convenient for casual browsing and other bits which are not particularly intensive. I like mine as I have it lying around the house easily within reach, it's light and convenient, rather than having to wait for my laptop to boot up every time I want to use the net, I can sit on the sofa with pad in hand and it's easy.
They will never be a serious computer for working IMO but they are very convenient and day to day I much prefer this to my laptop for my needs, I doubt they will fade away but it seems there is a space in the market for laptops and pads, as has been said they will probably replace netbooks which in my experience are not particularly good at anything

 

Removed your blinkeredness for a moment and think about what you said, A $380 billion company, Employing 60,400 people that is gaining market share in almost every sector it pursues and your predicting it's demise?

Despite what some may think, one man alone doesn't make a company, Steve Jobs was smart enough to surround himself with some very clever people. Guys like Jonny Ives and Bob Mansfield certainly have that spark.

 

Anyone who comments for either side, now sounds like a child stomping their feet.
I used to be pro-android but I really don't care now.

You can't reason with idiots!

 

Have a read of Walter Issacson's biography of Mr Jobs! My comment wasn't to mean that Apple will go under, but rather it will no longer be producing innovative products with Job's obsessive attention to detail, with Apples products, everything is in the detail.

 

Exactly. I was in Bagdad when you were in your Dads bag.

 

Apple offer a beautiful Bluetooth keyboard that even when coupled with the iPad is smaller than a netbook.

 

Yes, but try using Apple's keyboard and iPad on your lap!

 

Well clearly you redefine the rule of age bringing wisdom then.

 

Why would I use the keyboard and iPad on my lap, I don't work with a Laptop on my lap. And anyhow I can out type the average old man on the iPad's keyboard.

 

Cheeky whippersnapper.

 

I was aware but for what I need the touch screen keyboard is fine for me and actually better than the keyboards on my NetBook

 

I tried to type on a netbook and couldn't. The split keyboard on the iPad is great too, reminds me of that silly Nokia phone with the display between the keyboard.

 

You really are a moron. You're the only person i have ever encountered who acts as if they are having a mature debate about something, to then turn to immature comments for no logical reason

 

Why ever not ? !

the bluetooth keypad sounds great , i guess thats not included ??

But then you need to prop the screen up somehow so you can see it

This is where that clever device, the hinge , comes in handy

 

FFS how long have you been being played by Jack.

 

Yep he really is a massive ***** st18, don't bother

 

I wonder if he goes on like this when he is down the pub with his mates

 

I thought gay was something else

 

Highly unlikely. What we see is his e-persona flexing his e-***** all over apple. IRL if you went on like that you would be spending most of your time in casualty.

 

Don't forget it's iJack

 

Nice EFA lol

 

That is condascending in the extreme, below even your usual low standards.

All you have shown is that you are older. So what, plenty of people are older than you who are far wiser and less demeaning.

Your idol Jobs had started Apple by the time he was 23, so I guess that means he didn't know what he was doing and therefore Apple is worthless?

Geezer

 

Have a sense of humour. Look at the thread title, question your seriousness.

 

Apple is gay.

JackClark is gay.

Can we now close this thread?

 

Not now you're here, we keep going to see who presses the button first.
