    I think think the general consensus is that other tablets are catching up to the IPAD

    In the new year it should be interesting...the only thing IPAD has over the others is the APPS

    Ohh and the Apple name.

    How many people have heard of ASUS and how many have heard of APPLE? That alone right there will make people spend 100+ bucks extra, even though the ASUS is better than the Apple one.

    I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab,7 inch screen,nice,but now I wish I would have went with the 10 inch screen.

    The smaller Tab is easy to carry around,but the larger Tab is better for watching movies and such.

    How many Apple Apps are not available on the Android Market?

    I agree with you... and let me just add my $300 Notion Ink Adam can plug HDMI to the TV... thing the iPad can't do without maybe buying a $50 or more accessory... lol are you kidding me... a $700 device and buy some extra accessory to do something a $300 android tablet can do native... L.O.L.

    is there something on the ipad that would allow it to stream sports/shows/movies?

    yikes, i was ready to get one so that i can watch it while on the treadmill or whatever and it won't even stream stuff because of the flash issue??

    It's overpriced for the average consumer and brand whore. For people that do heavy video, music and photo editing, there's no other option. Apple's video editing software (Final Cut Pro) is light years ahead of anything else out there.

    On the subject of tablets, I'll probably be getting the new Nook tablet. I'd never pay $500 for a tablet. It's a gadget. It will not replace your laptop or desktop.

    Key word there. I'm willing to bet you that the majority of people don't buy Apple for that. People are brand whoring, by buying Apple. They want that logo. It makes them feel better, but clouds their mind that they just spent the high price to surf the web.

    I get what you are saying here Onlooker... I am a huge apple supporter.... I only use Apple products... I compare Apple to Jesus Christ... They want something to believe in and it gives them hope...

    depends on how much you wanted to spend, there are tons of options out there now. i am getting the kindle fire for xmas. i am pretty pumped about it. sure it may not be as hip as the ipad, but it has alot of the same things. just does not have the skype of camera built in like i think the ipad does.

    You really can't do any typing work on one unless you buy a dock and a keyboard attachment, unless you want to hunt and peck while trying to type. Your probably looking at 700 plus then.
