The only thing the iPad is missing is a pretty decent overhaul to the OS. I hope ios5 has better notifications and I guess some widgets. (Which I never really cared for)
Oh and photobooth on the ipad is sooooooo sweet. To the OP, you know you can manipulate the effects by moving your fingers around the screen right?

I agree. No retna display either (my primary reason for not upgrading). I bet retna display will be on iPad 3.

? I don't get it. I have the iPhone. So If I had an I pad I could use my iPhones Internet on the iPad?[/quote]
Yes! That is why I didn't spend the extra money on a 3G iPad.[/quote]
So with the 3G you wouldn't need to tether because 3G comes with Internet? So I could connect to my iPhone and not need to worry about an Internet connection? Sorry, just trying to understand it. I don't have a computer. I do have an iPhone 3 GS. I want an iPad but don't see the point if I have an iPhone. Anybody else have the iPad and iPhone?
there was some apple bias in that comparison. just read Brians reveiew of browsers. talks great about xoom and pisses on ipad but gives them the same score. really?
also alot of talk about how great itunes and istore is, when in reality, that stuff is available from other outlets.
it'll be interesting to see how things look in a year after developers have had a chance to play with honeycomb on tablets.
no doubt, apple has the head start and a better cheaper product today. i suspect in a year from now, it all changes

it seems like every good ipad review theres a "bias". its a great product, thats why it gets a good review. And itunes really doesnt have any other alternative. The whole point of itunes on an iphone or ipad is to buy your music, movies, books directly on the device and have it put onto the device. You cant do that with amazon or rhapsody.
Also, the ipad 2 blows away the competition in graphics performance.
edit: actually you cant have movies installed directly to the iphone because theyre so huge. But you can buy them on the device.
you can't give both machines the same score for a catagory after you sing the praises of one, and talk about the inferiority of the other. that just tells me you want the ipad to win regardless of whether it is the better product.

it wasnt the same score.... the xoom had 4.0 and the ipad had 3.7 for that category.

The ipad won fair and square.
i was commenting specifically on Brian's scoring for that round.
i do believe i said today the ipad is a better choice, however, i believe in a year from now it won't be. just like 2 years ago the iphone was the best smartphone, while today, its equal at best. at best.

Its all preference.
Some prefer more customization and features. Some prefer a smoother UI and ease of use.
I still think the iphone is the best. Its smoother and simple, not to mention better looking. I understand features and customization is important, but Ill leave that for my computer. A phone or tablet needs to be slick and easy to use.
and some prefer customization, smooth & easy to use interface, high speed (4g IS cool) and the ability to fully utilize the internet and not rely on stevie to tell us what we can and can't use.

People who use the android platform love this argument. It's pretty funny.
I use my iPad all the time and Rarely come across a site that doesn't support HTML 5

whatever.
All Im going to say is that if there were an android thread you wouldnt see me or anyone else commenting on how its not as good.

Right. Because we own apple stuff and know it's better and don't have to argue about it
Besides, we are trying to compare a cell phone to a tablet.....
Got mine in the mail the other day. This thing is so amazing. Its so ridiculous what you can do with it, and how much more fun it is to use than something like a laptop. Streaming movies with netflix, playing games with pretty much PS3 graphics, going on the internet, plugging a guitar into it and making music with garageband, editing movies, goofin around with photobooth, taking notes in class with it, buying and listening to music with it, this crap is endless. Just holding it and flicking/pinching the screen feels so cool. The smoothness of the OS is even better than the iphone 4. I knew I wanted this over a macbook and I'm glad I made the choice I made.
So, can you tether an iPad to an iPhone 3gs, or just an iPhone 4???

anouther common word is "hotspot"
i tether my home computer to the evo via the usb cable, and the wii (gf's choice, not mine) via wifi to stream netflix movies.
no traditional (cable, dsl, dial up) home internet in our house.
