LOL! iPad = embarrassment - Off-topic

I'm thinking that Steve Jobs must have really gone in for some kind of brain surgery and come out with brain damage if he is really excited about the iPad.
It's garbage! Hahahahaha! As a Microsoft fanboy, I'm happy to see Apple fall flat on their face!

Why would anyone buy this over a tablet PC? On screen keyboard, that would have to be laid down in order for people to use it comfortably, and then you are viewing the screen at an angle? Steve apparently never realized that on-screen keyboards for large touch screen devices are HATED in the world. They aren't friendly at all.
AT&T 3G again. No CD/DVD drive. Because it's based on iPhone/iPod technology, you have to jailbreak it to do ANYTHING with it. It's not even in widescreen format! $700?????????
Not to mention it looks like a handicapped-accessible iPod Touch.

LOL! I 100% agree with you.
No flash
Non-functioning OS
Virtual keyboard that takes half the screen
No kick stand
No real apps to do anything of use eg create a full word document
Im sure the list could go on...
I am glad Apple got this one wrong!
Now get yourself an Eeepc touchscreen tablet/netbook and dont waste your time with this!

Yeah, that's the stuff right there. I'm waiting for them to master Windows 7 on it, though.

The next generation will have strings for easy removal

Wow, after all the hype this really hasn't gone down too well I think.

Apples answer to USB and SD ports
Wont this lead to pirated apps and bluetooth transfer? There going to have to add a file browser (surely?) for this to work.

a completely useless device. however there is an upside.
pricks like asus will have to start shipping tegra tablets to compete with it. and i've been wanting a tegra device since a year before the chip released.
so yay apple. CMON FAIL HARDER =D

I bet that when you find an owner of one of these, they won't be able to tell you either.
The Kindle makes sense, better battery and better price.
In comparison, the iPad is like buying a new Mercedes without a spare tire, a radio, one rear-view mirror, and the ability to drive it outside of the county.

In the meantime, we have a couple of questions about the iPad:
1. Is there some kind of alternative tablet I can use in case I have to go swimming?
2. How will it stand up to other tablets if I pour a test tube full of blue water on it?
3. Will the 16-, 32- and 64-gig varieties be referred to as "light," "regular," and "super"?
4. Sometimes I leave food in my laptop bag. Can you make one that makes it smell like a light, spring rain?
5. I'm a cheerleader. Is it possible that the tablet could come flying out in the middle of a routine?
6. Can I still wear white pants? Will it make them look bulky?
7. Will my boyfriend be able to go to the Apple Store and buy it for me without being embarrassed?
8. If I pelted a shy girl with latent telekinetic powers with iPads, wouldn't she die?
9. If I have sex when I'm using the iPad, do I have to lay down a towel?

Yes, the Zune Tab has amazing underwater capabilities.
2. How will it stand up to other tablets if I pour a test tube full of blue water on it?
See answer #1.
3. Will the 16-, 32- and 64-gig varieties be referred to as "light," "regular," and "super"?
Of course. When we release bigger sizes, there will be Super-Plus and Ultra sizes!
4. Sometimes I leave food in my laptop bag. Can you make one that makes it smell like a light, spring rain?
At this time, we do not have the technology. We are planning a meeting with Tampax in the very near future, though. It is a strong possibility.
5. I'm a cheerleader. Is it possible that the tablet could come flying out in the middle of a routine?
Absolutely not if it's inserted into it's "case" properly.
6. Can I still wear white pants? Will it make them look bulky?
Unfortunately, it will. But, if you switch to what's known as the "baggy gangsta style," you will have no problems! Steve Jobs has already adopted this fashion.
7. Will my boyfriend be able to go to the Apple Store and buy it for me without being embarrassed?
No. Anyone who buys this will be embarrassed, including yourself.
8. If I pelted a shy girl with latent telekinetic powers with iPads, wouldn't she die?
Yes, we recommend that this not be done.
9. If I have sex when I'm using the iPad, do I have to lay down a towel?
Unfortunately, yes. I'm not going to go into detail as to why, but you can email me for more intimate answers at [email protected]

Most of us have a complex that makes us not WANT to like them. So we ride out the put-downs that make us feel better about our loyalty. I don't want to like the Jonas Brothers, so I don't listen to them, turn them off whenever they come on, and make fun of those that like them. I'm sure that if I listened to all of their music, I'd fine at least ONE song I'd like, but then again, I'm also not interested in buying a dozen d*ldos to put up my a** either.

I'm not laughing at you, but I wouldn't think it's a good idea. A large display for sensory needs is different than a large interface for sensory needs. Make the display on the floor and the interface on a 13" panel on the wall, then you have a nice setup.

Well yes, I knew it wouldn't work directly, hence why I said it would need to be designed differently, but yes your right
Being an MS person and bashing Apple (or vice versa) makes you feel like you are part of a community, and that people sitting on the fence will just get caught in the crossfire and drawn in at some point anyway.
I personally think that Apple products will continue to become more ridiculous. The iPad is pointless in my opinion. Tablet PCs aren't popular anyway. Next thing they'll probably do is give the iPad some kind of phone functionality!
Aesthetically Apple wins hands down I think, because they look so awesome. Although saying that there are some Android phones that look really really nice, so maybe its a sign that Apple may be threatened in the looks department!

Any e-cig members here?

I have recently made the switch from stinky "analog" or regular cigarettes and love it. I got a Joyetech eGo-t starter set for myself and the wife because it came with two complete vaporizers. Just wonder I g if there were any members here who use PV's and what flavors or strengths you use.
Thanks,
BZ
Yes it was tested on animals, didn't fit.
I'm a fan of the Blu myself (never was a cigarette smoker but I like it for when I'm drinking and it's perfectly fine to use indoors).
I tried an e-cig, and the real thing is better for me. Yes, this is me quitting smoking lol. I am at a stage where I only smoke when I want to, not when I have to. I can go on for days not smoking, then one day I'll just decide to smoke one.
I tried an e-cig for a bit and got bored with it. About a month or two after that I didn't feel like buying cigs anymore so I just stopped smoking.
Aren't they worse for you than actual cigarettes?
I smoke like there's no tomorrow.
My wife has e-cigs, but they're menthol. Barf.

Sort of. There's nothing that will ever give you the same taste as a real ciggy. My thing is, I've smoked almost every day since i was 14 and I'm 29 now. I did quit in basic training because I couldn't get any. Sadly I picked em back up.
There are flavors with and without nicotine in them. I have talked to some people that haven't smoked ever but picked up a PV because the flavors you could use.
Personally, I've had 4 ciggys in the last week and felt like trash after. So far I've tried a menthol, regular, apple martini, my dew, caramel apple, and a sorta camel gold flavor.
All flavors seem to have a sweet taste but, my lungs feel better and the morning breath is not near as bad as before.
Besides, when a customer comes into where I work and they just got done smoking, it smells like a bad barbecue.
If you've ever smelled "Liquid Smoke" (for cooking) its strong lime that. Never realized I smelled like that......

Thanks matey. I need to quit the cigs and was thinking of giving these a try. Guess you can get them in the UK
I am! I have been vaping for about 5-6 months now. www.totallywicked-eliquid.com is a pretty nice site for hardware, and myfreedomsmokes.com is a great site for ejuice and their pretty reasonable on prices, they also sell hardware but I like the quality of totally wicked. I also mix my own juice, once you get a little more experieced I would look into it. It saves money to mix your own and you can mix to basically any strength you like. Myfreedomsmokes carrys all of the diy yourself items you would need.
Here's a pic of part of my collection.

The strengths are something you'll wanna play with, I started on 24mg, and now I'm using 16-18mg depending on certain flavors. Also I like VG based juice, they tend to produce a little more vapor.

I started with..... ummmm...... 20 or 30mg and I gotta say there is little to no menthol in the "Cowboy Menthol" that I got. I deff need to look into the whole day thing. I have a eGo-T myself. Wide drip-tip tank. My wife has the exact same setup and we both have had them for the same time. Hers leaks like a sieve. The local shop said the atomizer melts the tip and gave her a rubber like cap for it. Still leaks. Also have a clear tank but I think something wrong with that one. Little to no smoke there......
Anyways, any samples in your cupboard?

Nope, as far as i know you only get steam and nicotine in you, while with regular tobacco you'll get some nicotine, some benzen, half a horse and a dead baby seal in your lungs.

There's that and you can order or make your own mixes where there is no nicotine content. Just whatever flavor you want. Like apple pie or Mt. Dew......

Im also a snowboarder, which mean i like loud colours and the ironic style of a bad outfit that the rest of society just wouldnt understand.
HOWEVER........ THOSE BAGS ARE FECKING HIDEOUS TO SAY THE LEAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In the words of Gordon Ramsey; "**** me! Get some kahunas man. Jeezus! ****ing hell. Whats wrong with you".
Good day.

Burro Bags are nice, there are quite a few really nice "utility pouches" most people that ride bicycles have them to hold their Ulock.

Most people that wear skinny jeans and fixed wheel bikes with Converse or slip on shoes wear them.

nope, it's not
In Miami, where WE live, men don't wear those. Unless they're on south beach trolling for boys. Maybe that's where you see them. or wear them.

Well, we can go on and on about the specifics where certain people live about who wears the greatest fashion accessory...
But a lot of bikers HERE (see what I did there?) wear them (not this specific brand) because it's small/light and easy to carry a patch kit or tube.

I'd guess you're a matching color jersey cyclist... These are examples with links to many other styles and color combos. Most are made of recycled billboards.. I don't ride for fashion, I prefer function.

Have you ridden critical mass on the last Friday of the month here where WE live? You'll notice quite a few out of the 400± riders have hip pouches with tools, keys, pump, cell and their Unlocks. It's not a sexual preference thing. It's a thing of convenience. Being able to be light yet carry essentials while dodging cars..
A man bag doesn't define me. I carry a Chrome Messenger bag strapped to my back, but it's too large for everyday use.
But again to each their own.

Hemidroids, that's a F.A.G. Bag. FYI Fast Action Gun bag. I don't think I'd put any electronics in there. If you needed your firearm in a hurry, your stuff would go flying.....

I was just going to post something like this! This is the only reason I'd wear one.
Not saying he's hip with fashion or anything but the hulkster always wears a fanny pack. Kind of makes him look like a hobo from Santa Monica pier though to me...

Quick Draw Nexus
Looking for a slim trim bag
• I am looking more for a slim fanny bag to just nicely fit my neXus 7 in its folio case without extra bulk. I would like to look as business like and trim as possible considering I will be wearing a butt bag. These dimension specifications seem to be a hard find on the internet.
• I found this - walmart.com/ip/Travelon-Carry-Safe-153-Anti-Theft-Waist-Pack/12360607 at wallmart.
I'm female, but I wouldn't get one of those bags for my guy. Too much candy in those colors. Plus, of course it's a fanny pack, so I'll pair it with a Member's Only jacket.
Has anyone else looked at Waterfield (SFbags) for a backpack type of style? They have cases for the Nexus 7 too.

Kickstarter Idea- TouchCover for Note 2...(PICS!)

I would be glad to entertain the idea of putting this up on kickstarter if there is enough interest. Would require a hefty amount of research and dev however.

Keyboard cover, that would be cool as hell!
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium
I suppose this could work with bluetooth. Typing on something that small would not be enjoyable. It would be neat though

cool idea but how are you going to type on it and support the screen at the same time?

My idea for that would be to integrate a sleek kickstand on the back of the case.
Currently I would say that the back plate would have to integrate some sort of kickstand. I think this wouldnt be too hard to do. Also, if you lay your Note 2 across your keyboard to see just how many keys would fit on this, you would notice that it isnt too far off from a cramped up netbook-style keyboard. I think it would be usable for most people.
I want a cover that has a cutout for the back camera so it wouldn't be awkward to take a picture.

I would just let the cover hang down when taking a pic. Honestly I think that the huge hole in the cover would defeat the purpose of having the keyboard there in the first place. It just wouldnt work. And that hole would look straight up stupid when the cover would be closed. Idk .
I would be down to support, looks sick!

That is a great idea! I would buy that
Love XDA. Fresh ideas every day.
I like it!
there are some bluetooth keyboards that you could hack up to make a mockup..
Honest questions: does MS have a pending patent for this design? If so, would it affect the development?
I'd support that, but depending on how long development would be. Lots of Kickstarter projects take forever to start shipping. I might be on the Note 3 by then...
I'd prefer a slide out KB case. How much would this cost? If it's like $100 no thanks

That's why I took my flip cover back after a day. Too awkward to take photos, and it got in the way of my car dock.
I'd support / buy that!

Great idea. Great mock-up. Spread ther word
I'd buy it although I haven't used a "querty" for over 2 years.
I would probably look really close at buying it if it were on the shelf right now. I think it is a terrible idea from a financial perspective. You have to look at how many of these phones are out there and what percent of people would buy. Like the other poster stated, we will be on a newer generation phone by the time this comes out.
You are also screwing yourself because all this money and time goes into one particular item for only one model of phone. Don't waste your time or money. Try to find something universal that many different phone owners can use.
THE problems with this.
1) The vast majority of users are perfectly happy typing on their screen.
2) Obviously, since it is so small, the idea of "touch" typing is out. It will still be hunt and peck.
3) If this is laying flat on your desk as you type, what is to keep it from sliding all over the place every time you hit the keypad? The Note II doesn't weigh enough to keep it in place.
4) Flip cases are already expensive. One with a kickstand and keyboard will be prohibitively so. Does the user receive enough additional benefit to justify the additional cost?
5) M$ spent a lot of money creating their flip cover keyboard. You would probably run into patent infringement left and right.
I think this would be one of those products that looks cool which no one buys - or at least not in the volume necessary. Think about it this way. Cases have been around for a long time manufactured by companies always looking for ways to make money. Since no one has tried anything like this you have to ask yourself why not? Probably because they determined they could not make any money.
Cool idea, won't work. You are trying to turn a handheld device into a desktop device. The ergonomics are all wrong.
Hi. For sure this is not a new idea (Surface) but it looks interesting. However the biggest issue is the size of the keyboard. It is too small in order to use it like a small Surface.
Looking good. I will consider to buy it.
it's a solid idea. Obviously, from a business standpoint, I"m like others and question how well it sell for various price points versus the cost.
The other issue I see, the cover lends itself to a landscape mode on the phone only. As one who uses a BT keyboard with the phone at times, not all apps are landscape friendly. I have Freedom Pro portable blue tooth keyboard; supports both HID and PTP formats.
Plus given the same of the cover, it may not be that user friendly for regular typing. The keyboard to type on would be about the size a chatpad used on controllers for video game consoles. Unfortunately, their size of my thumb typing friendly versus ten finger typing (what an awkward way to stated that).
I do agree there is a market for something that is compact, extremely portable, for phablets to type on. There is a reason way the Surface has it, there are quite a few for iPad and other tablets. Personally, I don't really like using virtual keyboards; I hold great disdain to autocorrect. II may be more old school since I've been using full keyboards for around thirty years, so it's basically ingrained into me the correct feel.
It's possible a slide out keyboard may be a better option in this situation. The bad part, added bulk. Not everyone is like me and doesn't care how think of phone gets. The plus side, if designed right, no need for a flat surface around, thus can use while just out an about, say at a bus stop. Then again, it could be redundant with the size of the phone which also influences it's own virtual keyboard.

I love the Windows keyboard (see windows key at the top left corner). If you do go Kickstarter, I would change that to an Android symbol. I agree about possible litigation. I would check make sure MS or something get a patent on a cover keyboard. If they did, you could still do it, just need to work out the royalty with them that makes sense for you to be profitable.
