Well I would say that I like apple, I have a the classic 80GB ipod and I love it, there are a lot of things wrong with it however, and lots that they could improve on.

It seems that the first generation of any apple product has in disputable technical problems with. They have yet to bring out something that has been fully functioning bug free on their first attempt and no doubt the ipad will be no different.

That isnt to say that their products arent good, and that they have a very definite market place in a somewhat saturated market.

They are clever in the advertisement, the "hype" that you all talk about, is what they call free advertisement and this thread alone is testament to it.

Like them or not they are clever.

No but its funny that Apple have the gaul to try and make out that they are somehow better than MS at getting it right... Or at least thats what their "why get Windows 7 it'll only be broken" argument leads me to believe they are trying to make out.

Luke, whats wrong with us IT professionals?

... and yet most computer companies are now downloading windows 7 onto them straight away, as they believe them to the most reliable, and stable OS out there.

I just love to watch their sales pitch though, that guy could sell batteries to power stations.
