Apple sucks

[Viva Las Espuelas]

for the money though i guess its okay but if you have owned or used an ipad its painful to use that thing.

smh

[lefty]

I can't imagine why anyone makes fun of Apple fan boys. No, really. I can't.

I agree

[Cry Havoc]

Well until you can get one for 99 you probably shouldn't compare them.

Your Camaro sucks. My Gallardo is so much better in every aspect.

Can you get an ipad for 100 bucks?

You can get one for $400 (probably cheaper on eBay), and it's very likely to be more than 4x better.

Sometimes you have to pay a little more to get the best stuff out there.

see what ch posted.

I give respects to Steve Jobs. he really took the market to a new level.And he created a following of a new breed of lemmings in the world, those re s called "apple fanboys"

that being said. apple, this is the beggining of the end for that company.

so what kind of "fanboy" are you? i mean, considering how much you drool over winOS, i am guessing a microsoft fanboy?

so defensive when it comes to your ty hp touchpad even though you know for the price you still can't compare it to an ipad... wow! granted, i bought one too. hahahaha

[MannyIsGod]

not defensive at all. The touchpad is pretty bad overall. The ipad clearly a much better tablet and its the best and will remain the best until ics comes out. Its also really stupid to compare it to a tablet that costs a fourth of the price. Anyone who wants a 500 dollar tablet would not look at the tp.

if I'm in the market for a Mercedes I'm not going to compare it to a kia.

funny thing you say considering HP was toutin' it as such...

[lefty]

Yep it was at 500$ or more when it came out

[MannyIsGod]

and that's why it did terrible? HP is just as dumb as apple fan boys.

[Cry Havoc]

so defensive

kw accusing someone else of being defensive. I lol'ed.

[Cry Havoc]

HP is a horrible manufacturer and anyone who's in the business of technology knows this. Aside from their printers which are decent in that they only have a fail rate no worse than all other printers for the most part (which is to say, unreliable as ), HP is probably the worst major tech brand in terms of quality control, if not they are at the very bottom of the barrel.

What is equally unsurprising is that Apple fanboys are trumpeting the iPad over the HP tablet like it's some great victory. Seriously? This is what you want the iPad to compare itself to? The cheapest tablet on the market?

[ElNono]

Not to mention that HP literally sold these at an absolute loss. IIRC, the BOM when it came out (which I'm pretty sure was the only production run they had) added up to $300+ for the cheapest version.

IMO, the comparison is valid because A) HP didn't roll it on the market at $100 and B) They definitely touted it as compe ion with other tablets (including the iPad and Xoom).

[MannyIsGod]

the comparison is invalid, el nono. Why do people buy the tp? Why do they buy the iPad? They're not the same reason. HP can do whatever they want and the tp isn't in the same class as the iPad. Does the tp sell without the price drop? Nope. Would the people who just bought them have bought iPods otherwise? Nope.

Until HP decided to pull the plug on it, the reason was that it was competing with the iPad and Android tablets and the difference was night and day. Thus why nobody was buying it.

That HP decided to cut their losses and basically give away the tablet is great for consumers, but let's not pretend here that HP built a tablet not to compete in the tablet market.

That somebody didn't buy an iPad but bought a $100 TP at liquidation price doesn't mean that whoever paid $500 for the TP didn't choose between buying that or an iPad.

[ElNono]

It's like saying the TP hardware/software somehow changed when it was $500 and when it was $100. It didn't. If the comparisons were valid back when it was $500, then why would they be different now?

[Viva Las Espuelas]

Yep it was at 500$ or more when it came out

Don't confuse them with facts or the concept of fire sales. They're rollin'.

Quit confusing them. First it was price and now it's whats under the hood. Please wait while goal posts are moved. They need to regroup.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

Oh and

who's arguing that? Disagree on last part.

who moved the goal posts?

[ElNono]

Why would HP build a tablet that cost them $300+ to put together if they planned to sell it for $100 all along? Why would they invest that kind of money if they weren't competing with the $500 tablets?

Sorry Manny, I disagree that what was a valid comparison 2 weeks ago isn't valid now.

[MannyIsGod]

huh? Its a good buy at 100. Ifs a bad buy at 500. When someone buys one at 100 its not because they think its better than the iPad. That's pretty much the whole point.
