Own it MSFT fanboys! Tablet PCs never took off because of utter lack of innovation in software. This comes from a Thinkpad X60 tablet owner who has tried Windows XP Tablet edition, Windows Vista ultimate and Windows 7 editions.

About a year after Apple gives rest of the world on how to use tablet PCs, Redmond would start it's photocopiers and "improve" their tablet offerings.

That's what happened with WinMo. MSFT had the smartphone OS market all for themselves for nearly 5 years (after Palm lost and Apple had not entered) and never did they care to think about ease of use on mobile phones. Then iPhone is released, and 2 years later, MSFT comes up with a great, finger driven UI for their media player.]]>Sep 15th 2009 1:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/apple-tablet-rumors-strike-back-9-6-inch-with-hsdpa-coming-feb/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/apple-tablet-rumors-strike-back-9-6-inch-with-hsdpa-coming-feb/]]>Sep 15th 2009 1:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/apple-tablet-rumors-strike-back-9-6-inch-with-hsdpa-coming-feb/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/apple-tablet-rumors-strike-back-9-6-inch-with-hsdpa-coming-feb/Sep 15th 2009 1:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/apple-tablet-rumors-strike-back-9-6-inch-with-hsdpa-coming-feb/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/apple-tablet-rumors-strike-back-9-6-inch-with-hsdpa-coming-feb/
wow...seriously? Is that the best you got? Not only did Apple have a way of doing right-click for quite some time, they've since even innovated that beyond what big red could ever hope for. Oh wait, copied with Surface. Multi-touch? Copiers start your engines.

To be honest, I'm glad they've copied each other over the years. Businesses that do that means more competition which means lower prices for the consumer.]]>Sep 15th 2009 2:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/apple-tablet-rumors-strike-back-9-6-inch-with-hsdpa-coming-feb/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/apple-tablet-rumors-strike-back-9-6-inch-with-hsdpa-coming-feb/

Shame on Microsoft. It would a different story if they made improvements or great software, but they only make 'good enough software (and sometimes not)', 'cost effective/maximum profit (for them)' software.

Now I'm a firm believer in a capitalist system, but there is a a clear difference between earning profit and short changing your customers.

And before you start cussing me out blatantly and rudely Mark -We all know that you are the #1 Microsofty Fannie boy, claiming to know something about Macs too "because you own one."

Truth be known, ya' don't know jack about either platforms or their origins. So save it!

I'm getting sick of Apple. Microsoft may have some issues, but it's because of those issues that I know what I know today. There's a stereotype that Mac users don't know how to use computers. Though this isn't true for all, it somewhat fits. They blindly follow what Apple does because they have no choice and don't know else wise. Windows users, however, are used to tinkering with things and enjoy their freedom.]]>Sep 15th 2009 11:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/apple-tablet-rumors-strike-back-9-6-inch-with-hsdpa-coming-feb/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/apple-tablet-rumors-strike-back-9-6-inch-with-hsdpa-coming-feb/
Are you kidding me? iPhone and Snow Leopard have both become more optimized with time. For the most part, Finder is still the same, just re-written in Cocoa.

When was the last time Microsoft actually developed their OS or any of their own products using their own high level programming tools? .NET and its Framework are beyond FATWARE and I shudder to see a day when Explorer, or IE be actually written in it. No, its actually written in the same VC++ 6.0, technology ala 1997. As for Office, the majority of which is kept in pseudo code; it is the defacto definition of piggie-ware. It is one of the rare examples of an application that actually runs more efficiently in Microsoft's patented pseudo code technology simply because compiled to native Intel instruction set would make it unable to fit in RAM. In RAM folks! What a joke.

Development in Cocoa and in Carbon is actually well thought out and doesn't suffer from 'platform fragmentation' contrary to your complete lack of understanding.]]>Sep 15th 2009 1:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/apple-tablet-rumors-strike-back-9-6-inch-with-hsdpa-coming-feb/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/apple-tablet-rumors-strike-back-9-6-inch-with-hsdpa-coming-feb/
And you're just kidding yourself about the iPhone OS. 2.1, or maybe 2.2 by now I can't remember, was perfect. It worked, except for the email program constantly getting stuck in an endless updating cycle forcing me to restart my phone. 3.0 broke the phone again, and 3.1 didn't fix what was broken. And yes, my email still goes into an endless updating cycle like everybody else's does. My phone is the slowest and buggiest it has ever been. And I'm not the only one, everybody I know who has upgraded to 3.x wishes they didn't.]]>Sep 15th 2009 1:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/apple-tablet-rumors-strike-back-9-6-inch-with-hsdpa-coming-feb/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/apple-tablet-rumors-strike-back-9-6-inch-with-hsdpa-coming-feb/Sep 15th 2009 1:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/apple-tablet-rumors-strike-back-9-6-inch-with-hsdpa-coming-feb/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/apple-tablet-rumors-strike-back-9-6-inch-with-hsdpa-coming-feb/

First the rumor mongers tell us (with a ton of "reliable" sources) that an Apple tablet will of course be presented in Fall, and even newspapers like the FT bought into the crappy Apple hype. We all know how that rumor turned out.

A tablet has to fit in the pocket .. so that means it's gotta be 6 inches diagonally .. not more than 7 and not less than 5inches.

The iPhone could actually fit a 5 inch display diagonally in its current form factor (measure it). The LCD would have to be flush with its edges .. I'd expect a 6 inch or 7 inch tablet's display to be flush with the edge too so there is no waste bulk.

*walks away laughing* I was once a Mac user. I drank the juice for 3 years. Then realized that Apple's success basically boils down to: look at us. We make pretty and aren't MS. Once you drop that mask what is underneath is pretty damn ugly. Questionable polices, crap hardware that overheats if you push it too hard, initial buggy OS releases, patches that generally work but occasionally are crap releases, warranty work that you need to sometimes argue with the genius to get done, and generally planned obsolescence.
I said enough. If that was suppose to be computing nirvana then I will gladly accept the Windows hell.
I'm thinking different alright. I'm thinking of an OS that I don't need to download a bagillion haxies to make my own. I'm thinking of hardware that I can extend my warranty past 3 years. I'm thinking of an OEM that will send someone to ME to repair my hardware. I'm thinking of games that I care about. In short. Apple may someday release this fabled tablet. I couldn't care if it was God's gift to the computing indistry, no doubt iTards will make it out to be that, I wouldn't touch it if you paid me.
You fooled me Apple. You fooled me with your commercials and your fanbase making your platform out to be great. It isn't and I'm damn well spitful about it. Esp after dropping 4 grand on hardware and software. I recouped 1.5 but still. Never again. ]]>Sep 15th 2009 2:05AM
