All the big brands charge more then some random brand even though they will do the same thing and will last
just as long. You would rather be seen walking out with a LG tv then with some weird Chinese sounding brand. Same with the ipad. Read the reply's i made before making assumptions. I never said the ipad fails. I'm saying most people care more that others will see they spent $900 on a device then to be seen with a device that no one knows how much it cost them

I'm not saying your wrong and i'm right...or the other way round. Just stating my opinion... and at the start it would be marketing, i see about 1 ad for another tablet once a month, but i see ipad ads all the time.
Also the fact that Apple has had a chance to see what works well on other devices and what didn't work would help them.
btw i'm NOT putting down the ipad, i'm going to buy one when there is stock in a city near me so i don't have to get on a plane for 3hours to some where to get one..also i like the app store :)
In my OP i was talking more about the original Ipods that apple made more then the ipad... when you saw it you new instantly what it was(thats the case with the ipad aswell..). If the other tablets makers advertised as much as apple you would see more of them.
Not going to reply if you do. i'm not disagreeing just posting my opinions.

come's back to the advertisement. apple show their devices in most places so people that see someone with them know what it is and what it can do(and how much it cost them). When they see some one with some weird thing with a touch screen on it they don't really take much notice

the app's for the ipad will ensure it prevails

Your buying the brand. There are heaps of other products out there that can do the same or more as a Ipad, that cost less. But people will always buy an Ipad over that because they care more about what others think of You when they see you with one, then what the device will do for them

Brain Training Games Don't Train Your Brain 151
Stoobalou writes with this excerpt from Thinq.co.uk: "A new study has shown that brain training games do little to exercise the grey matter. Millions of people who have been prodding away at their Nintendo DS portable consoles, smug in the knowledge that they are giving their brains a proper work-out, might have to rethink how they are going to stop the contents of their skulls turning into mush."
Company Invents Electronic Underpants 110
theodp writes "SIMsystem have created the world's first electric underpants that let you know that you've got issues by texting. Incontinence issues, to be more precise. The new-and-improved skivvies come equipped with a sensor strip that alerts caregivers to wetness via text message. From the technology summary: 'The SIMbox, when fitted into the individual resident's stretchpants (SIMpants), transmits sensor readings from the SIMstrip in the SIMpad® over a wireless network to the SIMserver. The SIMsystemManager software running on the SIMserver then detects key information about continence events and determines when to alert care staff about an event requiring attention.' So, who's going to start an open source project?"
Ubuntu's "Lucid Lynx" Enters Beta 366
ActionDesignStudios writes "The upcoming release of Ubuntu, titled 'Lucid Lynx,' has just entered the beta cycle. Alongside the usual desktop and server versions, a special version has been released that is designed to run on Amazon's EC2 cloud service. This release of Ubuntu does away with the brown 'Human' Gnome theme we've all become accustomed to, replaced by a new version Canonical says is inspired by light. The new release also includes much better integration with social networking services such as Twitter, identi.ca and Facebook, among others."
Disgruntled Ex-Employee Remotely Disables 100 Cars 384
hansamurai writes "Over one hundred cars equipped with a Webtech Plus blackbox were remotely disabled when a former employee of dealership Texas Auto Center got hold of his employer's database of users. Webtech Plus is repossession software that allows the dealership to disable a car's ignition or trigger the horn to honk when a payment is due. Owners had to remove the battery to stop the incessant honking. After the dealership began fielding an unusually high number of calls from upset car owners, they changed the passwords to the Webtech Plus software and then traced the IP address used to access the client to its former employee."
