Still: <br /><br />1: He should and must be talking about the average audience, that's his job. <br /><br />2: The iPad is highly capable as the cheapest model and twenty dollars' worth of software. Apple can hardly be blamed if people pig out. :-)<br /><br />Lack of multitasking is a weakness, but it will be improved with iOS 4.2 in November.Eolake Stobblehousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07126147415891586345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-485455051458949924.post-39003432600497258162010-09-22T08:33:47.822+01:002010-09-22T08:33:47.822+01:00Eolake said...

I wonder if they're trying to get peeps in the UK on board. The fact that you guys don't have to have 2-year contracts is quite a nice deal, as well! I wish that would catch on, here...along w/the lower air cards!

Perhaps the types of peeps he is talking about are those heavily into the games and such. They'll probably want/need the fastest machine they can get their hands on. That seems to be a big issue for peeps who play a lot of games: a fast video chip and the room for the memory-hogging software.<br /><br />That and...I think it was purposely built with some of its drawbacks, so that Jobs could use the cheapest form of R&D available - the end user - whilst having the dough rolling in to create the next rev. He's no dummy! ;-)<br /><br />The thing I see as a "fake-out" is how this device will <i>only</i> cost peeps $500. N'uh uh! It seems that people need to go hog-wild...with the applications, and various subscriptions, after purchase; a "small" fortune; and...where does it end?! :-(<br /><br />(forgot about it not being able to multi-task. I don't like that. It would be nice to be able to have everything right at your fingertips for just getting through the day; integrating it into and allowing it to manage every aspect of a person's life! It's way too durn spendy to just be a glorifed e-reader, methinks! :-(TC [Girl]https://www.blogger.com/profile/13627383459407464083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-485455051458949924.post-91193176374603551472010-09-21T11:47:33.939+01:002010-09-21T11:47:33.939+01:00It's unusual to have any service be cheaper he...It's unusual to have any service be cheaper here in the UK than in the US! <br /><br />... Hah, that video actually plays on my iPad, but *not* on my Mac. Odd. (Even tried two different browsers.

Does it play for you?)"<br /><br />Yes it did.<br /><br />"By the way, I have a wifi portable device which gets me plenty of bandwidth for 15 Pounds Sterling a month ($25)."<br /><br />We're still paying a bloody $60/month for any of these...although '<a href="http://www.clear.com/" rel="nofollow">Clear</a>' is, supposedly, going to be taking a $20 chunk out of it (although I don't see that pricing, anywhere, when I look, right now); they are just getting up and running, now. Looking forward to seeing how good that will be! (weird...this ad shows $55/month! But I have seen ads for $40. Yet more research to do.)TC [Girl]https://www.blogger.com/profile/13627383459407464083noreply@blogger.com
