My mom's the manager at a big publishing company and they're getting into the whole ebook thing, so she got this thing to mess around with.
5 things that would've made the iPad not suck:
1. Better battery. At full brightness, browsing the web or doing anything media related, watch the battery drop at 1% a minute, at best.
2. OSX. iOS - seriously? WTF Apple? With iOS it's nothing more than a giant iPod Touch.
3. Mobile TV. Cable/Sky/Satellite or whatever it's called where you live. That would kick ass unimaginably.
4. Bigger screen. As can be seen in the pic, my netbook has a slightly bigger screen, yet the iPad has a large frame of empty space around its screen.
5. Bluetooth. Again, seriously? Not being able to share and transfer files is just the kind of shit I expect Steve (blow)Jobs to pull.
The only thing I enjoyed a lot was Google Maps and Street View - the touch screen makes it AWSOME, but that wasn't even made by Apple. All-in-all, it's crap. Don't buy it. Wait for the iPad 2, or whatever.

That blows. Intense media surfing would kill the poor thing under 2 hours.
As for Sanchez, not all Apple products 'suck'.
The iPhone's pretty decent and it's not as overpriced when compared to other bestselling smartphones. As for iMacs, they're just for show. If ya got the money, it won't hurt your pocket.
That's funny because I just went on the zune site to try and point out the obvious price issue with the zune, but apparently none of the zunes are being sold online anymore. Kinda makes you wonder why they would stop selling them if they are so much better than iPod. I'm also kind of curious why if they break so easy, I still know people with FIRST GEN iPod's that have been dropped 10,000 times and still work great.
