The iPad Killer

[mygaybuffet]

I think the iPad may have at long last met its match in the all new and powerful

Asus Eee Pad Transformer​

!

Smoke on this pipe, Apple!

Looks good and i prefer using keyboard for typing.
Does it have lots of applications?

Is it still a touch screen?

 

[mygaybuffet]

^^YES to all your questions!!^^

Why would you want that?

For a 10.1" screen it's $499 with 32-gigabytes of built-in storage and $599 for a 64-gigabyte version and $149 for the keyboard and trackpad dock.

iPads start at $499 too.

*meh* Much ado about nothin' much really.

 

[mygaybuffet]

Yes but the iShit can't function dually as a tablet and laptop, not to mention you are locked in with storage.

never mind - old news and wifi only

one big dis-advantage about the iphone ipad is it won't let you copy & paste easily which is sucks big time.

I never bother put any music into my iphone.
Just use it for work and that is it !!!

Just 1 out of at least 100 disadvantages!

This is how retarded Apple is:

My computer of 5 years crashed on me a while ago. No biggie! I get a new laptop and try to sync my iPhone 4 to iTunes to get iOS 5. It tells me I will lose everything unless I backup my iPhone 4. So I go ahead only to receive message "The iPod 'Mygaybuffet's iPod' is synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase this iPod and sync with this iTunes library?" I called Apple and they basically told me I could start fresh by buying the iPhone 4S or I could purchase a 3rd party app, export my libraries to my computer, drag and drop them into iTunes, and then manually rearrange them.
I don't think so! WTF?!?

This will be just one of many undoings for Apple. Mark my words!

^ I never use iTune for anything.
Just use it for update the software i guess.

 

[mygaybuffet]

^I can't even do that!^

I CANNOT WAIT for this tablet


That Tegra 3 is going to absolutely slay any and all tasks I throw at it.


Honeycomb is a beautiful operating system and when this thing gets Ice Cream Sandwich it can only get better.

I...Cannot....Wait.... Oh and did I mention how sexy it is?

Is there any way that you can manually save what's on your iPhone to your hard disk as a separate library? You can have more than one iTunes Library. Create a new folder somewhere and try to save all of your iTunes music into it. Give it some other name so that you don't get it mixed up with your default iTunes Library and iTunes music folder. I don't know exactly how you would do that as I don't have in iPod or iPhone, and I don't know what version of MacOS you are using. Once you have that on your laptop, back it up to a CD or DVD-R disc. Then while it's still on your laptop, import all of those songs into your regular iTunes library, using the Import command in iTunes. Then all the music you have will be in one iTunes Library, and you should be able to sync all of your devices to that. If this scheme doesn't work, then I'm missing a part of the picture.

^My dear friend, you completely missed my point!^

The Apple guy told me something very similar. The thing is I should not have to go to such extraordinary measures to sync my iPhone 4!
Why can't Apple just simplify the process to just plug & play?!

I think you underestimate the selling power of the Apple name brand. Even thought the iPhone 4S was a mediocre upgrade, at best, it sold like mad. Just as the iPad will continue to sell better than all the other tablets. At least in the long run. This is a criticism of Apple and of some of it's customers, but alas I am typing this from Macbook Pro.

Thank you for this.

I don't hate any products, I just think some are better than others. Seems like the OP has it out for Apple, and yet, has some of their products. Kind of hypocritical, no?

I don't know why, but if your iPhone has one iTunes library and your laptop has a different iTunes library, that's a conflict and it doesn't know which one you want to use. Apparently the software isn't sophisticated enough to merge the two into one big library. Before you would do anything else, I would try to back up what's on your iPhone to a CD or DVD-R, so that you don't lose that music. That may mean first copying it to your laptop's hard drive, then backing it up onto a CD. Then no matter what you do next, you won't truly lose anything. After you have done that, I would try importing all the songs from that into your iTunes on your laptop. Then your iTunes Library on your laptop should have all of your music, merged into one Library. Then you could sync your iPhone to that, and that should solve your problem without losing any of your music. Apple should address this in the future with a "merge libraries" function or something. There may be some reason why they haven't done that yet, possibly that it could make violating copyright law easier or something. But for now, I think you will have to use this manual method to get all of your music into one iTunes Library on your laptop. Then it should be simple to sync your iPhone to it.

That would be a very easy task. It's just that apple doesn't want it to do that.

Agreed! That is fixed however on the iPad3, which will be out January'ish. Apple is stockpiling 3 million of the new iPad in warehouses in the US as we speak, and will have their goal by EOY.

I hope it's the iPad with retina-display, but I doubt it. I heard they were having complications and it wouldn't be out till sometime Holiday Season of 2012. =\
