A semi-hater.... I think the iPhone was a cut above the rest when it was released and still is for the most part.

BUT, this thing will prove who the real Mac fan-boys are IMO. If you buy this, its purely because you like shiny things.

What do you mean by a cut above the rest?

Yeah I can kinda agree that the iPad will be something to just say "I have that." I mean I think I would get one next year sometime.

I love my iphone but the iPad is just a pointless waste of money.

Hmm...Maybe its a regional thing... It means above average, or better than the status quo.

Not a Apple fanboy but I can say without a doubt im buying one of these. I love my iPhone first Apple product I bought. But there were a few times I wish it was bigger for certain tasks I was doing. With this thing it will pretty much fill the gap for me between my iPhone and full fledged laptop.

i still dont see what the big deal is about the iPhone i have a old flip phone

Flip phone vs iPhone
Case Steel and plastic /steel and glass
Dropped bounces and flex's /breaks
Email No i have a laptop /yes but every black berry does as well
Music Yes /Yes
Internet Yes /Yes
Text Yes /Yes
Touchscreen No /Yes but too small for me
video cam Yes /Yes
Alarm clock Yes /Yes
Price $150 /$799

Excuse me for my ignorance but i don't exactly see what I'm missing but a ton of money i can't afford to loose at the moment. till i can plug it into the OBDII on my truck and tune it I'm not buying one... oh wait i have a product for that already its called my old trusty Acer laptop and it can do every thing the iPad can and more
