Just because something is hyped doesn't mean it's overhyped. For example, the iPhone is the bestest phone ever, in spite of annoying Apple fans.XShagrath said:He's too busy not buying into the apple hypetrain.
This. Apple haters are almost more annoying than Apple fan boys. I'm so jealous Costanza. Take a pic of we rule HDTheGreatDave said:Just because something is hyped doesn't mean it's overhyped. For example, the iPhone is the bestest phone ever, in spite of annoying Apple fans.

The iPhone did a bunch of stuff that was unique for phones at the time and was really different then everything else out there. The iPad is just an oversized iPod Touch that doesn't bring nearly enough 'new' stuff to the table to bother with for the price.ravien56 said:This.

The only thing the iPhone has over the Droid is a slighty better form factor.ravien56 said::lol :lol :lol
4.0 is bringing expose to the iPhone/Ipad. Believe.birdman said:I own an iPod, and understand the importance of a Mac for certain jobs and applications(graphic designers, musicians), however, the iPad is a beta attempt at combining the iTouch and a laptop. They should've waited until they could have it with more features (multitasking being the biggest thing necessary) because the thing is too damn overpriced for what it does now.
You can buy a keyboard for it.Terrordactyl said:The Droid is better than the iPhone, I've had both.
I don't hate apple but I dont like them either, I'll probably break down and buy an iPad eventually. I expect I'll use it for a few days and decide I shouldn't have bought it. I'm trying not to get caught up in the hype though even though I almost ordered one this mornining :lol
The only thing thats realllly making me want one is GeoWars. But thats not a 510 dollar game. And even still.. I'm sure the thing is fast and browses the interwebs fine, but typing with that this will be retarded, just think about juggling with it on your lap trying to use two hands to type. This is why the droid wins, I'd rather browse on a 4 inch sceen with a keyboard as opposed to a huge ass thing that can't be held well to use the softpad.

birdman said:Does it attach or does it just plug in? If it's the latter that doesn't seem to help Terror's cause.
TheGreatDave said:Tell me something the Droid can do that my iPhone can't. The apps alone for iPhone mean I can't imagine switching. The multitasking thing really isn't a huge issue to me on iPhone, but I could just install Backgrounder to get multitask if I wanted anyway.
I'd imagine so because it has Bluetooth but I'm not sure. Every picture/review has it attached like so.MrOctober said:Agreed. All other phones came out to "beat" the iPhone because they recognized it as a threat. Until there's a community for these other phones nearly half as big as the one for the iPhone they won't win. There are millions of apps. And on top of that there's another whole app store created by people for the hell of it. Another phone would have to go a long fucking way to beat it.
Also Ravien that's actually the keyboard I use for my iMac it's wireless so can I just connect it via blue tooth to an iPad like I do with my Mac?

Omg why would you buy some expensive crap keyboard? It must be shit because it's apple even though the iPod/iPhone are the best selling products in the market /ArchieMrOctober said:That is my regular keyboard.
It's the best keyboard I've ever used, imo. Everything else feels mushy in comparison.Archie said:Boy that looks comfortable.
I just don't like touch screens. I like the tactile response of a button. Even with the DS, I prefer to just use the buttons instead of the screen/stylus.MrOctober said:The iPhone keyboard with auto correct is far and away better than any physical keyboard you could possibly put on a phone. I obviously don't prefer it to my keyboard at home but anything phone size it fucking destroys.
Blu_LED said:Physical buttons - that's preference because i hate buttons it clutters up the phone
Multitasking - Realistically unnecessary in a phone as I've never really had to use it but a simple jailbreak makes this more than possible
Open market - we have one it's called Cydia and it's bigger than yours
Verizon > AT&T (no clue how O2 is) - having Verizon for 12 years I wholeheartedly disagree in every way possible, and good luck multitasking when you can't use the phone and the internet at the same time
Better camera - my digital camera is a better camera than both I don't need this feature at all really
Screen on the Droid is much nicer - in what way?
Better battery life - based on what talk/standby time? There needs to be a more uniform way to measure the life of a battery in a smartphone that's used for way more than calls before you can really stand by that statement.

What's that from, a mediocre sci-fi show?Archie said:They keyboard of kings.
XShagrath said:The true king of keyboards is without a doubt, the Optimus Maximus. Every key being an OLED screen is pure sex. The $2500 price tag better give me sex though.
