As for LG and hp, I've said it before, and I'll say it again, x86 has no place in portable computing, hell it probably wouldn't still be so prevalent in the desktop market if it wasn't for Windows, with the iPad, like it or not, Apple showed that a specially designed OS on an ARM platform, gives the end user an affordable and fast tablet with hours of battery life, hp was smart to kill the sure to be disappointment and focus on webOS, now we just wait for JooJoo to die it's slow death]]>Apr 30th 2010 1:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/30/confirmed-lgs-moorestown-based-gw990-wont-be-made/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/30/confirmed-lgs-moorestown-based-gw990-wont-be-made/

This argument is quite common - Apple make a product, the haters latch onto every possible non-Apple device that comes along no matter how bad they are and then the products die off one by one or deliver a poor experience.

If you really want a working tablet or a good phone, why not just buy an iPad or an iPhone right now instead of bitching about other manufacturers not being able to beat their products?

First people wanted Windows 7 on mobile devices because it was such an optimal desktop OS and x86 because it runs Windows 7. Now those advantages can be ignored so long as you get Web OS bought from a dying company and all 2,000 apps that are available for it running on the thickest slate built since the 90's with a TN screen? The depths haters sink to borders on masochism just to avoid some infantile fear of stigma.

An Apple logo doesn't come with a "kick me 'cos I'm an upper-middle class prick" sign y'know.

In summary:
- if you want a tablet and you want other manufacturers to beat the iPad, you actually want an iPad and you can buy one today
- if you weren't planning on buying a slate anyway no matter whose logo is on it then stfu and stop hating for the sake of it
- until any of these other companies actually deliver something worthwhile that you can walk into a shop and buy, there is no discussion worth having about it's ability to compete with what you can actually buy]]>May 1st 2010 1:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/30/confirmed-lgs-moorestown-based-gw990-wont-be-made/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/30/confirmed-lgs-moorestown-based-gw990-wont-be-made/Apr 30th 2010 12:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/30/confirmed-lgs-moorestown-based-gw990-wont-be-made/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/30/confirmed-lgs-moorestown-based-gw990-wont-be-made/Apr 30th 2010 1:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/30/confirmed-lgs-moorestown-based-gw990-wont-be-made/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/30/confirmed-lgs-moorestown-based-gw990-wont-be-made/

Oh, and a couple USB, one FireWire 800, a headphone jack, an HDMI out (maybe a mini) and an AC Jack.

Of course, my idea will slowly be split apart into different products and a comparable device will take until past 2012 to release, and by that time the world will be gone anyway...]]>Apr 30th 2010 7:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/30/confirmed-lgs-moorestown-based-gw990-wont-be-made/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/30/confirmed-lgs-moorestown-based-gw990-wont-be-made/Apr 30th 2010 12:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/30/confirmed-lgs-moorestown-based-gw990-wont-be-made/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/30/confirmed-lgs-moorestown-based-gw990-wont-be-made/Apr 30th 2010 12:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/30/confirmed-lgs-moorestown-based-gw990-wont-be-made/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/30/confirmed-lgs-moorestown-based-gw990-wont-be-made/Apr 30th 2010 12:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/30/confirmed-lgs-moorestown-based-gw990-wont-be-made/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/30/confirmed-lgs-moorestown-based-gw990-wont-be-made/Apr 30th 2010 12:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/30/confirmed-lgs-moorestown-based-gw990-wont-be-made/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/30/confirmed-lgs-moorestown-based-gw990-wont-be-made/
