I'm sorry but 20 EVO 4G posts (or WHATEVER you're into) won't attract NEARLY as many clicks & views & potential Ad revenue as Apple posts will. Go to ANY tech site (minus those who are committed to not showing a lot of Apple related posts) and you will see plenty of Apple related articles. Far more in proportion to ANY other headline news...

So in conclusion ... JUST GET THE $%&!

Yeah, really nice apps.

Side note: Why doesn't the Joojoo have a HUB at the top of the website, like the iPad, Evo4G, and even PlayStation Move for some reason?

Hey iPad developers, have you told your new users that you don't need to alter one line of code from your old iPhone base code to re-compile for the iPad with the new SDK? That would mean keeping the original price... wouldn't it!!!

This really confirms my thought... a device is as good or as bad as the developers for that platform!

Really? I can't see one application that is compelling or a reason to get an iPad (exception being the home automation).

Thats also why book publishers didn't like Amazon pricing bestsellers at 9.99, because eventually people just come to expect that price and value books at 9.99, leaving publishers no more flexibility when it comes to pricing.]]>Apr 3rd 2010 3:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/02/ipad-apps-defining-experiences-from-the-first-wave/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/02/ipad-apps-defining-experiences-from-the-first-wave/http://bit.ly/the-ipad-debate-using-it]]>Apr 3rd 2010 9:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/02/ipad-apps-defining-experiences-from-the-first-wave/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/02/ipad-apps-defining-experiences-from-the-first-wave/Apr 2nd 2010 3:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/02/ipad-apps-defining-experiences-from-the-first-wave/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/02/ipad-apps-defining-experiences-from-the-first-wave/Apr 2nd 2010 3:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/02/ipad-apps-defining-experiences-from-the-first-wave/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/02/ipad-apps-defining-experiences-from-the-first-wave/
Right, because I'm typing this message on an iPhone as we speak, due to the complete lack of other phones on the market. /s

that's pure propaganda, engadget.

"it will have a software library greater than that of any handheld in history"

yep, you forgot all the handhelds with linux. Starting from PSP.


ENGADGET FAIL]]>Apr 2nd 2010 4:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/02/ipad-apps-defining-experiences-from-the-first-wave/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/02/ipad-apps-defining-experiences-from-the-first-wave/Yeah sure. The question is who gives a shit about the psp?]]>Apr 2nd 2010 4:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/02/ipad-apps-defining-experiences-from-the-first-wave/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/02/ipad-apps-defining-experiences-from-the-first-wave/
SO many things wrong with what you've just said.

1. The PSP has over a 100,000 apps?

2. Not all linux OSs are created equal. As in, just because a handheld (any handheld, not just psp) runs the linux kernel doesn't mean it can run standard desktop linux applications (amarok, konqueror, etc).

3. I don't know how many linux applications are out there, but the Debian repository has over 25,000 applications. As already said, that is less than the apps approved for the iPhone and iPad.

4. Sorry to repeat, but not all linux OSs are created equal. WebOS and Maemo, for instance, can not run the same apps, even though they both use the linux kernel. I bring this up because you seem to have combined the number of apps for all of the linux kernel handhelds out to beat the iPhone's hundred thousand. Sorry, but it does not work like that.]]>Apr 2nd 2010 5:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/02/ipad-apps-defining-experiences-from-the-first-wave/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/02/ipad-apps-defining-experiences-from-the-first-wave/Apr 2nd 2010 5:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/02/ipad-apps-defining-experiences-from-the-first-wave/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/02/ipad-apps-defining-experiences-from-the-first-wave/Apr 3rd 2010 3:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/02/ipad-apps-defining-experiences-from-the-first-wave/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/02/ipad-apps-defining-experiences-from-the-first-wave/

I don't know what the reality is...all I see is that there are usually HUNDREDS of comments on Apple stories and then a couple of dozen on anything else. The readers have spoken. It's a little boring but Engadget is a business.

There are 21 posts currently posted as 2nd of April...7 of them are iPad, or iPad related stories. A whole third. It's not your imagination it's a lot...but businesswise, it makes sense.]]>Apr 2nd 2010 3:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/02/ipad-apps-defining-experiences-from-the-first-wave/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/02/ipad-apps-defining-experiences-from-the-first-wave/I might be wrong, but based on the comment I read recently on engadget, there are more people hate apple like me. If majority of the readers hate apple, shouldn't engadget try to make sure we are happy? I don't know if you ever work in customer service, people who called are the people who hate you. Happy customers never call to say they are happy. How about I offer an alternative explanation to your observation. There are more posts in Apple news might means more people hate apple (e.g. "Hell no I am not getting ipad" or "Yawn..."). Less posts does not equal less people reading the article. You need to know how many pageveiws, not how many posts, in order to make your argument valid. You are assuming the number of posts is co-related to the number of pageviews. Do you have something to back that up assumption? If not, are you willing to consider what i said?]]>Apr 2nd 2010 4:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/02/ipad-apps-defining-experiences-from-the-first-wave/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/02/ipad-apps-defining-experiences-from-the-first-wave/Apr 2nd 2010 3:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/02/ipad-apps-defining-experiences-from-the-first-wave/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/02/ipad-apps-defining-experiences-from-the-first-wave/
I agree. I'm sure the masses won't agree with me, but the whole user experience looks to be no different than an iPhone IMO just on a much larger scale.

I still think Apple missed the boat by not giving it USB ports/Media Slots and some other way to interface with it besides iTunes. There are so many people who despise iTunes.]]>Apr 2nd 2010 3:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/02/ipad-apps-defining-experiences-from-the-first-wave/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/02/ipad-apps-defining-experiences-from-the-first-wave/

You'd probably say that a nuclear bomb is nothing more than a scaled-up firecracker. Look at it any way you want, but the iPad is huge news for low-tech consumers. Apple is going to sell more iPads than most iLovers or iHaters ever imagined.]]>Apr 2nd 2010 4:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/02/ipad-apps-defining-experiences-from-the-first-wave/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/02/ipad-apps-defining-experiences-from-the-first-wave/
I agree with more I/O for sure, but having Apple undermine iTunes is not the answer. The reason people despise iTunes is because it's been piled and piled upon an old codebase for years, à la Windows, Classic Mac OS and Photoshop, and become a bloated monstrosity as a result. (And that's besides the fact that they can't write good Windows software to save their lives.) What Apple needs to do is not to add even more new stuff, but to get their heads out of their asses and redo iTunes from scratch. Hey, the next major version number is 10, so this is their chance to pull another major product onto the "X" brandwagon too.]]>Apr 2nd 2010 6:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/02/ipad-apps-defining-experiences-from-the-first-wave/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/02/ipad-apps-defining-experiences-from-the-first-wave/Apr 2nd 2010 8:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/02/ipad-apps-defining-experiences-from-the-first-wave/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/02/ipad-apps-defining-experiences-from-the-first-wave/
