Yes, after trying to resist, I caved and bought an iPad 2.
I simply needed it for a couple of essentials. Full iCal support and a couple of apps to use with pro-tools at work. One being V-control the other air display.
But I am keeping my vibrant.
I must say, that I find iOS definitely lacking in various areas.
Most notably no widgets. I prefer the Android app draw and personal window customization, and I really don't like the iPad contacts app.
Hey, I have an iPod, but I'm not ashamed. I like it for the battery life. I will always love my phone more though.

No need to feel ashamed. They're great devices. I find that Android and iOS really go hand in hand and compliment each other very well.
They are good retail units, but little to no customization really. That and after costs............ too bad you couldn't wait until EE transformer by asus that is the one........ good price point and best of all worlds
Ipad 2 is the only device i would be willing to buy from Apple.

No jailbreak for the iPad 2 4.3.1, yet...not sure what they did to secure it beyond the iPhone 4, but they did. Only a matter of time before we get our homebrew on.

iphone-developers.com is xda's sister site for apple stuff.
There's nothing wrong with owning Apple products, i have 3 iPods (diff. Gens) and a iPad 2
No shame in it, they make good stuff just not the BEST stuff.
Apple is good for a couple things. Secure info, speed and memory when using large apps. Other than that they are money hungry fools who can't share their developement to make them better

I got their new ipod nano for as a gift and i like it a lot. but then again I have always liked their ipod line. I probably wouldn't get any other apple product unless it was reallyyyy cheap or free. I really wished a PC manufacturer could design a laptop using the aluminum unibody that the macbook pro uses cause its stunning.

Apple markets the iPad as this magical, cute, family friendly device while the Xoom is marketed as this totally bad ass, rugged machine that can turn into a spaceship if you try to grab it.

A device is worth what someone is willing to pay for it.
However, for $70 more than the equivelant model iPad I'm happy for the fact my Xoom eventually will have Flash and 4G.

Also, to upgrade the ipad to 64gb, it's another $100 plus tax. To upgrade a xoom, it's the price of a 32gb micro SD and possibly missing that second part. Not to mention you can upgrade it on your own after you buy it. You're not forced to decide before you buy it.

Just remember that an Android phone has more power than a jail-broken apple phone/device. Think about it this way, if they don't patch stuff like that... other countries like china will use them against us and attack the USA. They must patch. When someone can HACK A PHONE THROUGH A SIMPLE website, that isn't very secure. When we do it, it takes actually doing it manually. knowing what we are doing sortof.
Well, i for one, am sad to see this new patch ruin jailbreakme.com. I used to have so much fun wandering through the Apple stores in Dallas and quickly jailbreaking all their devices.

I can pretty much 100% guarantee you that the average selling price of the iPhone is significantly higher than the average selling price of Android phones. This includes highend phones like the EVO, Droid x, etc. The iPhone 4 is always $200 (same as the regular retail price of high end Android phones at launch) subsidized in the US and constant at similar price over seas. How many sales, first and third party promotions, and drops in prices happen to highend Android phone? At times you can get highend Android phones for free or a couple of cents! Then add big selling low end lines like the Optimus One, and smaller lines are even more popular in low income countries. Look at what's selling there.
Yeah, that's what I thought, you again fail at thinking things through.

I love it. I've been using the tethering on my Epic to download apps. I played Infinity Blade on it and omg that game is amazing. Siri is very useful. It's exactly what I wanted in a speech to text system. I had the original iphone (my first smart phone besides the helio ocean) which was horrible. I dislike the lack of customization and using itunes. The screen is much better than the Epic but you can see how overly Saturated stuff is. Everything works well. I am not an apple fan boy by any means. I'm studying Java to develop for Android. It's good to see what the competition is like. The apps really attract me on the iphone. I don't really want an ipad though because it sounds like a feminine cleaning product and because I'd feel like a douche carrying one around with me everywhere.

Even though the Epic 4G is several generations old it's still better and has more features such as 4G, >3.5", AMOLED, micro SD card slot, removable battery, slide out keyboard, etc. than the latest iPhone 4S. Only the iPhone5 will be catching up to it.
