I find everything about the iPad in my office frustrating. Before and after licking it. SJ On Thu, Jul 15, 2010 at 6:29 PM, live <human.factor.one@gmail.com> wrote:
I'm confused that they would use iPads instead of other more 'modular'(hackable) tablets. There are a ton of tablets out in the marketplace, and soon to be many more.... Why get locked into limiting functionalities?
That being said, I love my MacBook, so I'm in no way an Apple hater. I just realize the limitations Apple as put on their mobile devices.

After all the hype, I can't figger out why someone (even at Duke) would use an iPad rather than a netbook for their research. Sounds like kewl won over functionality. If I'm taking notes, I'd rather have a real keyboard. If I'm doing other stuff, I'd rather have the plethora of applications running on Win7/XP or MacOX than on the little apps running on iPods and iPhones with their baby OS. -- I've been using the iPhone 3GS for months now as a pocket phone etc and am continually frustrated on what it can't do. End iRant. End PodHype
