Re: The Apple Tablet

Definitely curious about the UI, think I read somewhere else that we'd be surprised by how we interact with it.

Re: The Apple Tablet

I had a 2nd gen ipod when they still had the hd's in them and used it for about a year until the hard drive broke. I liked it alot, it still had the circular scroll wheel which was really nice because I could skip around long sets without much problem while driving and paying super close attention getting in a wreck.

I bought a 3g iphone the day it came out here and had it for a little over a year and sold it to my friend because it was too buggy and pissed me off. the phone would ring and the slide bar wouldnt work and i couldnt pick it up and the call would goto vm. it would reboot randomly and other bugs like that. mainly i could not get used to not having a physical keyboard to type on which drove me crazy. i came to realize i dont give a crap about games or movies or any of that on my phone, all i want to do is have a good battery life, a good keyboard to talk on and a good phone to use. plus i fukin hate itunes with a passion and since i use about 5 computers regularly at work and home i got very irritated with copying my music around to one pc to use my one copy of itunes to synch.

I bought the smallest macbook out about a year or so ago and used it for a while but really couldnt get into it too much. i bought it mainly b/c i am a unix administrator for my job and wanted to check out the underlying darwin kernel. but it was still kind of too pointy and clicky for me and i would just rather have a cheap netbook with a bare linux os running firefox and a large terminal to make me happy. my battery died a few months after i bought it, but got it replaced at the apple store w/o any problems.

im kind of over apple products and their prices.

I think I would rather stick to my Lenovo X200 Tablet

Re: The Apple Tablet

I'm not necessarily going to rush out and buy one of these because it's hard to imagine that it would serve a need that I don't already have covered, but I'm very excited to see what this thing is all about, how the UI is set up, etc.

Re: The Apple Tablet

This is all the buzz... damn. When I have more flow soon, I will be getting and this, an ipone, (my old blackberry is a bit dated lol), and a Mac for djing purposes. I had Apple computers all throughout the Nineties, but gave up on them -- for preferential reasons -- but I'm glad to see the progress they have made since then... right on.
