My work buddy wants to get an Ipad. I told him to look at other tablets. I cant stand apple and I want him to spend his money wisely.
What does the hive say? |

Get the iPad, pc side hasn't gotten the tablet right yet... Not that iPad is perfect though.

How can I convince you not to say 'Bro'. Looks like we are both F'd.

I use my iPad all the time. I like it a lot.
I'm thinking of buying my niece one for Christmas. |

I studied the options hard and ended up buying the mini ipad. Apple just makes great products but we also already have a tone invested in iTunes stuff from iPods and iPhones. Going ipad we already have content and aps, switching would have been work plus more money.

I'm not an Apple fanboi by any stretch of the imagination, but I like my iPad.

Please don't steer him wrong by recommending a inferior product
iPads are magic portals to the universe |

My work buddy wants to get an Ipad. I told him to look at other tablets. I cant stand apple and I want him to spend his money wisely. What does the hive say? What kind of phone does he have? If he currently uses an iphone, he should get the ipad (the apps transfer to the ipad for free, no need to buy apps again) If he currently uses an Android based phone, a good quality android tablet (Samsung, etc) would be better for the same reason. If he doesn't have either, I'd get the iPad. It just works. I have both and use the iPad a ton more. I have two iPads and an HP TouchPad with WebOS and Android ICS on it. The Touchpad is not used nearly as much as the iPads are. I like Android, but I think the iOS devices are easier to use, especially for novice computer users. |

Im a MS guy myself, but I love my Ipad. I let my mom use it, saves me a headache since she cant figure out Desktop or Laptop MS computer(she is 70 and not a computer person). Apple products are stupid easy for most people to figure out. That said, I love the Samsung tablets.

iPads are the best!
Posted from my Mac Mini, but could have been posted from iPad, iPad 2, iPhone 4, or iPhone 5............I have a PC but I don't always like it.......

Tell him to get the iPad. You won't have to waste time fixing it.

The kids gave me an iPad for my birthday last summer; I have hardly used my laptop since then. I like the way it sinks to my iPhone.
|

What the hell do you care how he spends his money? Or are you just the type that has to stick their nose in everyone's business?

If it was either of my brothers, physical violence usually works.

My dad owns an ipad and likes it very much, he uses it all around the farm to take and send pictures, respond to e-mail, and whetever. All from the seat of a tractor, never had a problem with it. My uncle, who is also a farmer, owns one and uses it constantly as well with no problems. So unless you have first hand negative experience with ipads, let your friend get what he wants.

Whats wrong with an iPad? The OP doesn't like apple The OP isn't buying the hardware. |

Quoted: Quoted: Who cares what he buys? Exactly. And furthermore, why try to convince someone out of buying something that works great...every single time....exactly as it should? |

What's wrong with him buying an iPad, if that's what he wants?
I'm with you on Apple overall, but I have to ask. (Posted from a rooted Nook Tablet, AKA "po man's Nexus") Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

love my ipad and iphone
windows is fucked when it comes to anything other than desktop / laptops. They have a history of lack of support / development. |

Zoom!
There goes another thread in a totally different direction from the OP's expectations. |
|
Do you have a rational argument against the ipad or is it an emotional-13-year-old-girl argument?
|
|
It's kinda like walking dead, once they turn, you gotta put them down.
Sorry for your loss. |
|
Quoted: Ipad Mini. Awesome and handy. Be sure to get your husband the larger "His" model. |
|
Let him make the "mistake" of getting one.
If it's really as bad any some people make it out to be, he'll get rid of it himself. |

Have fun funneling money to a company that makes its profit by stealing others ideas, then claiming that it was actually the other company who stole it from them. ETA: Oh yeah, posted from my Galaxy Tab... Aren't I sooooo cool now. |
