This iPad sucks - Epic 4G General

So mom bought me an iPad 2 while she was down visiting from out of state. I have to say I was a little excited to get it after hearing all the iPhone and iPad users rave about their equipment. I'm on my third day of use and I cant find one decent thing about it that I can't do better on my old Epic 4g. I couldn't be more disappointed. Anybody want to buy an iPad? JK - Momma might not bake me those amazing cookies anymore if I sold it.

I'll buy it but I don't really get the comparison between and iPad and an Epic.

The ONLY redeemable aspect about an iPad to me is the virtual textbooks for college. I don't have one though but can't say I want one either I just wish more textbooks could be found on an android tablet.

LoL, there isn't much comparison. Other than the iPad having a big screen that isn't as bright...the Epic is MUCH better and does MUCH more. I know, the epic isn't a tab, but it is my "other" computer...and the iPad doesn't come close. My daughters rooted Kindle does more than this thing.

fair enough but my wife uses the textbooks xopher mentioned. I happen to think Apple makes the most overrated products on the planet but I seem to be part of a growing minority.
how much do you want for it?

I guess I should edit the first post. You know how sad Momma would be when she comes back over and that gleaming new apple is no where to be found. I'll put it in the closet with the George Foreman grill, the godaweful red sweater and those golf clubs I'll never use...

The comparison is it's a shame that a 2 year old Android phone is better than Apple's "cutting edge" tablet.

jailbreak it and install xbmc. By far destroys any media player on android. Amazing to stream files off of network shares. Other than that, I prefer ICS on my touchpad.

Can't even jailbreak it yet. iOS 5.1. Sad. Even if I jailbreak it, the possibilities are limited. The on screen keyboard is thr absolute worst and there is no replacement like the unlimited possibilities on android.

Hes not technically... but i have my doubts... . He supports it for what its worth.. not because he uses it and enjoys... from my expierence with him he doesnt like our "fanboys" ( which is not really possible, here in the android community we have N00bs, Developers, Contributors, and the occasional "fanboy" which is usually just pride. ) bashing apple. Can we not let this thread turn into another Android vs. iOS?

So IF I decide to trade out, what (current) tab would anyone suggest. I like the specs on the xoom, the galaxy and the transformer...thoughts?

Awesome. Cant wait for those tablets....
Only a small glimpse to be sure, but it definitely looks like phone/tablet android is gonna fork. Everything you can see looks absolutely amazing however, like miles above what we have seen on a tablet so far. Youtube looks sick. The UI actually looks "cool." Like futuristic, badass, sweetness. But its hard to tell from a minute video.

Between my Evo and my Notebook, I don't really have a need for a tablet...but I really, really want that Honeycomb goodness. Dammit Google, now you've made me drool all over my desk!

so what will be the next build for mobile phone devices? i assume ginger will be the last evo update then? might be time to start to look for a new phone in a few months.
Thats a good question. This looks absolutely fantastic, and absolutely nothing like android does currently. I for one am excited to see where the two forks of android take us. This looks like it has absolutely no place on a cell phone.
I still wouldn't mind a port though. My evo screen is room enough especially With honeycomb running on landscape .

I knew Sprint did something right

The BB Playbook will run android apps.... I'm so getting one that thing is sexy
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/...k-to-run-Android-apps/articleshow/7473802.cms
RIM plans to integrate the technology with the PlayBook operating system, giving customers access to Android's more than 130,000 apps, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the effort isn't public. RIM, after looking outside the company, is developing the software internally and may have it ready in the second half, two people said.

old, and retarded.
Why waste thousands of dollars on trying to figure out how to run apk files, when you can simply install AOSP honeycomb, and have it look 1000x better.
1 day old news is old a retarded? lol. Let me not feed
I think this is great. I'm curious to see if it actually follows through and how they will put the Android market on it... that's my biggest question. Seems unlikely to have a device with two market places.

If they follow through I'd buy one, always wanted a tablet that wasn't a Tab or an iPad. Having two markets isn't that ridiculous. Isn't there a way for people with rooted phones/jailbroken iPhones that can install the other's market on them?
It'll still rely on RIMs horrible OS. No thanks. Now if only WebOs could run our apks...

What makes you say RIMs OS is horrible? The new QNX based OS looks great. It's funny that you are a WebOS fan, and wouldn't be interested in the PlayBook. They are extremely similar in terms of UI.
I've only read great things about their new OS. If you have some articles saying otherwise, I'd be very interested to see it.

Technically it's not true integration.
WP7 just lets you get gamer points on your phone with your XBLive gamer tag.
But yes, both these posts are referencing Windows Phone 7. Specifically the soon-to-be-released HTC Pro 7 for Sprint.
Which makes this thread off-topic.
Sounds like Microsoft's late-to-game rehashing of "cloud" this and that blah blah and xbox integration that nobody cares for.
Microsoft's cloud storage is not just for WP7 anyway...
25GB free cloud storage with Android App from Microsoft-

Aww so sad
I was thinking that my android phone could now be "integrated" with my Xbox
Btw I'm both a ps3 and a 360 person
Not that it matters at all
Another thing I think wp7 is going to be the next big thing
Because if I remember correctly apple came to Verizon first with the idea if the iPhone and Verizon refused and the iPhone was a huge success and Verizon also refused wp7 so maybe wp7 is going to be huge too.
Even if wp7 becomes "huge" I'm sticking with android unless Google abandons it

While I prefer ps3 over 360, I'm gonna have to disagree based on multiplayer. The 360 has a great social system. Once the ps3 gets on XBL level, there is definitely nothing holding them back. And hopefully a redesigned controller (not fully redesigned....just put some joysticks that atually have grip so that I can shoot as comfortably as 360!).
Multiplayer is more casual on 360, but that's because you have all these little kids not taking it srs.
Ps3 is more intimate online and its more hardcore because theaverage age is 12<, which is why I prefer it, but I can't enjoy it with my friends playing a different game than I

Maybe if your intent is to use it as a linux box. However as a game system, they are close enough that you should pick based on which one has the exclusives you like. That and the online system I suppose. Cheap vs good.
Only fanboys think one console owns the other.

Why oh Why Samsung!

READ THIS
Cause they is inept.......Plain and simples!
They have THE best phone currently available in the market (SGS2), one of the best tablets (10.1) and about to have the mutha of ALL phones (Galaxy Nexus), SO you have to ask yourself a question about the motivation of a company who seems to be hell-bent on cementing their place in the market as a rip-off merchant.
At least Apple try and pretend to have come up with an idea (by preaching out the usual "innovate" subliminal dictorate) BEFORE launching their attack dogs. Sammy just blatantly highlight>copy>paste>plagiarise and HOPE that no-one else in the world has eyes, sense, access to a computer or quite simply the nous to notice what they have done.
What is the Korean for "IDIOTS"?
Rofl, thats hilarious!
This is ingenious, i think we're not giving them enough credit. Now when apple sues them they can say "clearly our products are different enough for anyone to spot the difference" and cases get thrown out of court. Or maybe their just stupid as fk, who knows.
Well a few years back, wasn't it just norm, to copy paste publish what ever they wanted. Like the pirates they are.?
I am not surprised, seems they need to engage a USA firm of Americans who know the difference, and can setup a good thing.
Boss: Can we have a picture of Google maps running on the Galaxy Player 5.0 please.
Marketing firm: Sure no probs, a quick google search later and 'shop out the Apple bar and nobody will be able to tell the difference.
Boss: Thanks

Not a Goodbye thread

So I got a Epic Touch for a reasonable price that should be arriving tomorrow. Not getting rid of my Epic, but it won't be on a line. I'll be happy to test anything for people. Please feel free to contact me. I'll be lurking and helping here still. Not to fear.
Let us know how it is going from epic's QWERTY to no-keyboard.
The keyboard options for new phones are sparse and not terribly viable (droid 4's display, bootloader, etc).
It will soon be time for all of us to move on, and life in the non-qwerty world seems daunting!

I wish we had "technology courts" or something that will have judges who specialize in electronics and will actually know when a company is suing, that company also has parts blatantly stolen from "company b".
