Funny, if there were a slashdot filter for the same we might not even be reading this

I have no sympathy for pious nerds who know perfectly well that tablet Android is (at best) a desperate work in progress, buy it anyway - and then inevitably wind up back at their PC dissatisfied, frustrated and utterly underwhelmed.

What a load of nonsense. My iPad 2 is powerful enough to do everything I've thrown at it: HD gaming, video editing, Facebook, webcamming, email (what 99% of the population presently has a computer for) with a fluidity and grace completely absent on hardware orders of magnitude more powerful.

Isn't it amazing what throwing away 40+ years of legacy will do? The iPad 2 / iPhone 5 hardware (as an example) is fine right now for this proposed use. Certainly almost perfect with a few inevitable software refinements. Losing your device or having it stolen will be inconvenient but with iOS 5 and automatic transparent iCloud backups now far less catastrophic for the end user than even the inevitable HD crash. The concept of forced OS maintainence (filing, backing up, software installation wizards, uninstallations, antivirus/antispyware, registry cleaners and other nonsense) being has been rightly eliminated. What a fucking mess. Battery life is now a 15+ hour non issue if you're not within reach of an ubiquitous iPhone charger.

This is happening right now.

I will cede you the possibility of a local bulk storage cache for media (the AirPort extreme or Time Capsule could already do this in theory). Besides very specialized tasks I can't see how the PC industry will manage to avoid a complete collapse in the next decade; the hemorrhage has already begun.

It's so refreshing to see somebody actually admit and write that all out so eloquently.

Amazon Programstoreâ¦It's only ever Macs that have used the term Applications.

Still waiting for my iPad 2 jailbreak here, buddy.

Isn't this comment stolen off reddit?

This feature actually exists already in Lion and i believe it has corrected more mistakes than mistaken my corrects. You can selectively enable/disable it for any text field anyway so its optional...

Wow, another anti-apple post from PopeRatzo complaining about bias? What a joke.
