http://news.yahoo.com/s/ac/20110312/tc_ac/8044392_ipad_2_buyers_offer_mixed_reactions
no flames intended, but the people interviewed was quite hilarious IMO
well, makes me glad i'm not one of the apple fanboys ^^

Seems all the smart tech savvy people buy ipads

"...is like super fast...". This annoys me. Why does it annoy me? Clue's in my name

Yes, the ipad is nice and pretty... That said I wouldn't trade my galaxy tab for it, I have what the ipad have plus flash and widgets and I can take it anywhere in my jacket pocket.

well, if you read carefully, there's a woman that said the iPad 2 can be put in her pocket lol
can't imagine what kind of pocket she had
a photographer dude that use its camera for actually taking pictures, and actually prefer using iPad instead of his cam coz iPad have a longer battery life and he doesnt have enough money to buy extra batteries for his camera (wonder how much he got his iPad)
that one cracks me up

ROFL, i cant stop laughing

How can you argue with somebody like this?

Yeah really she said that

lol, nice pic you got there rofl
we definitely can't beat the aura coming from his face

Thank goodess those folk bought Apple and not Android..!!!

It is obvious that these people never looked at or tried anything but the iPad. Good marketing by Apple. Bad customer.research by the customers.
The one that says "I thought it would have better apps.“ shows the tech level of these people. Sad, just sad.

Seeing these euphoric people standing in the line for 8 hours to get a new ipad2 just wants to make me vomit.

LOL ))) Could not stoped laughing )))

Thank GOOD I Bought The Tab...
After I Read This Bull**** I Would Sell The Ipad 2 Anyways...
But Please Be Fair To Apple...
They Do All They Can To Make Other People Laugh At Their Customers...

Nice find, Justin. I enjoyed reading their comments. At least they're honest (a 9.5" in height device is not bulky) LoL

i would die of laughter if i hired a photographer and they came through with their ipad 2..

Just reading the comment about it being lightweight - from my use of the old ipad in the store afyer a while it began to get quite heavy (thats partly why i got the tab) i doubt with the ipad 2 apple have made it dramaricaly lighter (doubt it). either that or i have feeble arms (not the case)
and re it being small - i doubt it will fit in a pocket unlike the tab (thats what samsung claim and it will fit in my jenes pocket)
and re it being fast? Its 1.8ghz in total whilst the xoom is 2ghz so the xooms faster.

[Q] Why do Apple lovers hate the XOOM so much?

I am an Apple user (no kidding) and am puzzled at the lack of love for the Xoom, particularly at MacRumors (been a member since 2006). Where is the love?
Comments such as:

makes me wonder whether Apple users are mostly pricks?

I think it comes down to religious fanaticism. They feel that there is only one "right" choice and everyone else must follow them and they don't care how they achieve that goal. I've seen it here too.

It's funny because on here I think i haven't seen too many 'bad' words about apple / ipad - mostly that the UI is very clever, but not to their taste...
lack of customization etc.
I see apple stuff more as a fashion statement personally - and I'd feel restricted if I had one - but that said, I think it's good for people who want something simple...

Well put...

To be honest if I wasn't such an android fanboy I'd be all on it. Apple makes great products and its a fact. However for a super user, anything but Droid is just.... boring.

Because Motorola charges $300 premium over the iPad for a half baked product with a beta OS.

Great products? Have you heard about the defect with their LCD screens? Light bleeds in several points of the edges of the screen. A lot of iPad users are complaining about it, but of course, hardcore Apple fans call it a feature. LOL

What the crap are you talking about? The Xoom isn't that much more the the 32gb 3g version of the ipad 2 and given how much more advanced it is via hardware...I can understand the price increase. Do I like paying more...no...but my Xoom works for my needs 10x better then the ipad. That is just my personal opinion. The wifi only Xoom is the same price as the 32gb wifi ipad 2. You need to compare price points for similar products...not just make random incorrect statements.
By the way, Xoom isn't that buggy at all...atleast not for my wife and I. People seem to forget that the ipad had to wait 8 months for fake multitasking as well as other features. Everything takes time.

[POLL] What Made You to Buy / Pre Order / Like Xperia Z?

Just like the title- what made you to like XZ and buy or pre order the phone?
For me, I just liked everything of Xperia Z. but waiting for price drop!
Please tick your reason in above poll. You can select multiple choices!

I desperately need an upgrade as my arc s is to slow for my usage, my contract was expired in august but didn't like any phone at the moment enough to upgrade. I was tempted by the one x+ but I like the looks better of the xperia z and it is more up to date. I think any 2012-2013 high end phone would be good enough for me so I have the luxury of just taking the one I like. When the One was presented I was thinking of switching but that phone just isn't for me.
love your city and country btw

Design & Build quality

I like Shiny things

Best looking handset i have ever seen simple.

i bought the xperia z, because i had a pretty good experience with the xperia arc s. I also like sony's ui, i think it's much better than touch wiz.

i love design, build quality, performance, sony ui ...amazing phone!!!!

Well everything, but the Design & build quality gave it the edge over the competition.

Fancied a change from Samsung and HTC, the more I see the XZ it makes me think how beautiful it is!
Really Sony have put out all the stops this year, I think it's the best looking Android phone and I want a premium handset that not only looks the part, takes decent pictures/videos too!

Design. I like subtle design with tiny elegant details; like a black Mercedes. HTC One is on the other end of the scale. It's a white Toyota Prius with a boomblaster on its roof.

Do we REALLY appreciate it. ?

I just thought to myself.
How many people, actually appreciate how awesome this piece of hardware is, that they hold in their hand...... And yet the amount of moaning and whingeing that goes on on the web is ridiculous.
"Who wants an ir blaster in a phone.."
"This screen is a micron less thick..blah blah blah "
We should just sit back, relax and enjoy what we have now......
.....I'm guessing the marketing department wouldnt like that though...........

Wut is this?
OP, please express yourself coherently.

Ok !

Initially I was trying to ignore the battery life and how long it takes to charge haha..
But you can't deny, it's about the average. But when you consider the screen and how the phone works, you can't expect an extra day's worth out of nowhere..
If this and the S4 are considered the best options for smartphones right now and the S4 really does gets a few more standby hours, I would still go with the HTC One.

I was thinking about this after playing with a friends S4... yeah its a slick device but nothing on the market feels as good as the One.

out of the many many complaints about our phone you picked to use as examples, you choose two that i've never even heard of. screen thickness & people not wanting the IR blaster?

Whilst typically I can't help but say every argument has 2 sides, and it's foolish to say the HTC One doesn't have any floors, the fact that this device and similar ones exist certainly deserves a moment of appreciation.
I remember when I was 11, and I spent a full week optimizing what at the time was a relatively well maintained machine and removing loads of crap, overclocking my CPU + graphics, disabling literally everything and eventually I had enough space to install the just-released GTA3 on my computer. The installation itself felt like it took around an hour. Even on the lowest graphics settings I managed just to get 15fps and boy did it make my computer run hot!
Now I have a HTC One. Just one of it's cores is capable of 5 times more processing power than my crappy little AMD Duron had. Today I installed GTA3 on it in a matter of minutes and was playing it maximum settings at a frame rate that made it smooth as butter. And to top it all off, I can control every remote controlled device in my house with it AND it fits in my pocket.
On a forum where people are inherently pointing out every little area for improvement to get the best from their devices, I agree with OP that we should all take a minute to sit back and reflect on the awesomeness of the technology we're all in possession of right now.
We're living in the future.
Hoverboards and holodecks can't be that far away now.

Moderator Update.
Thread has been closed. As the thread is really a general off topic thread and not specifically to do with the HTC One it has been closed. There is a XDA off topic section were threads like this are better suited.

guys finally i didn't get what s meaning of "bigger than bigger" !!!!
i don wanna make joke but really wht does it mean?

Yeah and now they will have enough screen room to read alot more content in landscape mode....I laughed hard when they introduced that...I was like wtf?....I dont hate but damn....not to mention thier live stream was a disappointment the streamers had to show updated pics of the event...one thing I can say positively about the apple is that thier release dates are much sooner... same month as the presentation. ...

I have to say, Apple usually has great designs, but its new Watch is downright ugly. I also prefer the design of the 5S to the iPhone6. Not that I care so much, Imma buy the Note 4.

they completely miss the innovator (the boss)...
:laugh: I like the tagline,,, Welcome to 2012 LOL

ip6 and 6p are a utter joke, I even know some die hard apple fans who say its meh but yet still say they are getting it. Im like are you serious??
they have also conned the apple fans by not inc a 32gb model so now in the uk this is what you get.
iphone 6:
16gb £549
64gb £619
128gb £699
Literally any 2012 android flagship is better
iphone 6+:
16gb £619
64gb £699
128gb £789
literally any phablet is better, never mind the note 2, 3, 4.

My brother uses iPhone and when I ask him about features he said "it just works".. lol
He also said Android crashes alot. Not sure where he heard that my stock rooted n4 had never " crashed".
I think though the iPhone would be ok if the price was inline with premium android phones. I really like the build quality but the price is insane. The day I go out and spend over $1100 for a phone is the day it will have lady parts.

We all laugh because iPhone 6/6+ finally add things we had in 2012, but in reality I'd say Apple finally caught back up to Android. All the main features of Android are now present in the iPhone 6/6+. I'm shocked that Apple finally gave up Steve Jobs' silly notion that large screens are bad. 4.7" and 5.5" are solid screen size options that cover most people'swishes.
You still have to deal with Apple's closed ecosystem. In terms of phone lockdown, though, since carriers in the US are locking down Android handsets more and more that point becomes less of an issue here in the US.
I'm still primarily considering Note 4 and Nexus X/6/5(2014)/whatever to replace my Note II, but this is finally a new serious contender from Apple.
