But Chris is right. Many peoples opinion on a 7" tablet (or any apple decision) is completely skewed by what Jobs says. If the Smart Cover wasn't 1st party then it would be criticized for offering no back protection and for being low quality because the leather models weren't properly treated...

Which carrier is better if you dont want 3G service the entire month? With my Sprint HotSpot feature then I can turn it on and off so I only get charged per day rather than per month, the problem is I need to talk to a rep to do it. Does it work the same with Verizon and ATT? Because I would...

Really? This is I put this much effort into thinking about lines and availability yet you assume I'm not buying one because I wasn't 100% complimentary on an Apple? :confused: (BTW, I'm actually buying two iPad 2's on launch)

Many people are freaking out about when to get in line or if they'll even have enough iPad 2's for them. But the more I think about it the more I feel the iPad 2 launch will be pretty tame. Here's my reasoning: 1) How busy would an iPhone launch if they weren't subsidized? On subsidy the most...

That whole "its not made for photos" line from CNET is complete rubbish since Apple even includes a photo app so this is just a case of irresponsible journalism. This is the problem with journalists today. Their job is to dig for the truth but unfortunately when it comes to Apple they are so...

Actually, 1MP isnt ideal but with AutoFocus it is enough for the "scanning" stuff since docs and text are usually converted to black and white. But this all depends on the autofocus. And it stinks because Ive used phones with autofocus and storing documents in evernote is an amazing productivity...

Dont forget resale value. Look at people trying to dump their iPad now and settling for scraps. At least the iPad 2 will hold its value just a little bit longer.

Thats true and there's always that possibility. But from what it seems then they put the same old iPod Touch camera in. And as a Touch owner and long time Apple lover then I have to say that the Touch photos are the first time I'd ever felt too embarassed to brag "This was made on an Apple".

Actually, it still is an oversized iPod Touch. As a user of various iOS devices (and we're getting two iPad 2's next week) then I think all the current iOS devices can be more accurately described as App Launchers than tablets. Want to check mail? launch it. Want to see the weather? Launch it...

Actually the entire camera industry is locked into an outdated design for "comfortably" shooting photos and it isn't getting any better. With DSLR's and older cameras you would hold an awkward box to your head that restricted any peripheral vision. And with big screen cameras you now extend your...

Why? 1) The spent 40min in the press event to prove the iPad is an all-in-one media creation device. So what good is all that incredible software and powerful hardware when your native film/photo input is limited to a .69MP Front / 1MP Back camera? 2) Cameras arent limited to only view...

(Disclaimer: I'm buying 2 iPads next week. So this rant is based more on confusion on Apples decisions than any sort of "hate") Not only does the iPad 2 have the worst cameras in todays market, it also lacks auto-focus? This is actually a bigger deal than most people realize. The iPad 2...

Steve Jobs is no ordinary CEO. His influence, celebrity and press appeal is unmatched so he shouldn't be lumped with other CEO's. And as for the leave, I really doubt everything at Apple is "business as usual". I'm sure they plan for stuff like this but my worry is that part of their plan is "...

Surprisingly, storage space rarely factors into resale value. If you look on Craigslist or EBay at used iPhone/Touch then whether it's 8th or 32gb then the prices are usually the same. That said, we're buying devices that will cost $100/mo to operate. So skimping for 16gb just to save a few...

I'm not slamming the Verizon iPhone because I'm likely to jump on 2/10 also. But the thing to keep in mind is The iPhone 4 is at the END of it's product cycle. Think about it, what other top tier phones out there are 8months old? The Nexus One? The Droid? We all know that the iphone 4 is ahead...

They took out the button on the Palm Pre and I found it to be annoying because you no longer can tell which side is up when answering/grabbing your phone. The look of a faceless slab is appealing but not necessarily ideal in day to day use.

I learned my lesson with the 16GB iPad(12.6GB usable space). So 32GB for sure on the iPhone. It just doesn't make sense to skimp. Especially considering we cant upgrade until Oct 2012 when both the iPhone 5 AND IPhone 6 will already be released.

Right. Im not trying to slam Apple by pointing this out since I've been fully entrenched in the Apple "lifestyle" since the 90's, but at some point then Apple crossed a line where Aesthetics interfered with functionality. Their obsession with "Thin" is a good example of where sacrifices in...

I've always felt the publics love of "no buttons" has more to do with worshipping Steve than being practical. Having awesome multitouch gestures doesn't mean buttons should disappear. And in comparison to other phones not caught up in this "touch only" phase, a row of physical shortcut buttons...

There are ATT customers with very valid reasons on switching, but for those who want to stay then it's pretty easy to justify keeping ATT. 1) Verizon competing on ATT's iPhone "turf" will force ATT to finally wake up and compete both in Customer Service and in addressing trouble cities 2) IF...
