If you don't have an IPad, well, you don't have an IPad.
I am not an apple fanboy by any means and intact prefer high end android phones over IPhone but if given a choice for a tablet, I would pick an IPad over other tablets any day. I maybe a little biased towards IPad because I own one but I have used the samsung galaxy tab extensively too and have found the IPad to be a much better product overall. For me the end user experience is the king and that is where IPad outshines it's competitors.
Having said that, I do hope that IPad 3 is a great improvement over IPad 2 and not just the same thing with a few upgrades. My gripe with IPad 2 was it's inability to play various video formats out of the box, I hope IPad 3 rectifies that.

.(no offense to the OP just saying )
Well - Apple products always generate interest. As somewhere it is said - Apple underpromises and overdelivers, this is their highlight. I do hope iPad 3 will be significant improvement over iPad 2 & not just few throwaways like they did with iPhone 4S. With Steve not there - I am not too hopeful though (Not that I know the inner workings of Apple, but just a personal feeling - Apple was Steve and Steve was Apple)

Apple wants to keep you locked into iTunes. So not going to happen.

Apple does not over deliver, they just dont deliver some really wanted features at all. They deliver what they like, not what you want.
As for the underpromises :no:
The absence of USB has to be for a good reason. Any takers? On another note, I've heard Bose systems don't include USB inputs to avoid virus problems...hahahari said:
Kind of tend to agree with "Apple was Steve and Steve was Apple" ... how many times have you read an article that talks about Apple, and does not include Steve Jobs in it? What it tells us is that the perception has always been that Apple was Steve Jobs... only time will tell if the company can progress (or even maintain it's stranglehold) in the same manner as when under Jobs.
^^ but still they run faster than the other cars;maybe they are from the jetsons.
As for someone who said apple doesnt allow to play all formats,the video player on the ipad supports mp4 but the if you puy o player in it from the app sore you can play every format available with wifi syncing straight from your mac/pc.sweet isnt it?

This is bollocks.they have the lead in the tablet segment with regards to both o.s and the hardware.others have been blatantly trying to copy what they do but still havent manage to catch up.others have taken 2 years just to get competing devices up and running ala the transformer.
People talking about usb's.why do you need one when you can transfer a file wirelessly from your pc or access it anytime you want from the cloud?

Just bcs they run faster doesnt mean its better. I would like to watch a movie from my HDD. Access a file thats on my pendrive. Damn, I have to up it to iCloud and then download it again? BS!

^ bcs its simply a helluva lot more faster and easier. Unless Apple is ready to open up, they will lose market share. But it is true, they do produce the most optimized tablets. But again, iPad has very limited uses aka just entertainment. Anything more, look for something a little bit more open. I will agree when u say iPad is the best for a casual user. For a power user, its just limited and plain annoying!
