The beauty of the i-pads is seeing how, in just one generation IT technology has advanced and miniatured. All my working life I have worked with the latest technology, but what the i-pads bring to the ordinary people is out of this world. Having said that, after I buy my i-pad 2 next week, my desk top will never gather dust. (nor any more arguments with the other half over who has priority rights )

[Get Real!]

A guy that is crearly againt the ipad
that does not have one To evaluate it
arguing about its usefulleness without being using one
But reading a thread about it, wonder why!
A guy arguing that a mac is expensive and not worth it
But never bought a mac to realize what exactly he is buying

Hmmm interesting!

Mate when you buy a mac and an iPad and think they are not useful or you got ripped off come here talk about it. There is no point arguing about someting you never owned!

Dude, I’ll bet I’ve setup and synchronized more iCraps, hot mobile phones, and paraphernalia (for others) than you!

It’s my job to make you people look good!

Dont bet on it mate! Devices i use dont need syncing or anything unless i need to upgrade them, now if you are doing a boring job setting up things for others instead of yourself then it might explain why you dont like things.

Its like asking a doorman if he likes the restaurant food! He bloody never ate In the restaurant! He just lets people in the restaurant!

Synchronizing, has nothing to do with upgrading because it’s the automated process of COMPARING & UPDATING files and emails between two devices so that they both end up having the same user data.

Many people make the mistake of downloading emails and/or working from two or more computers, so they end up with all their stuff all over the place causing unnecessary headaches for themselves.

There is however a solution that will allow a user to work from ANY NUMBER of computers and gadgets without this happening... and for THAT nifty solution you’ll have to hire me!

... and for home users, what would you rather have? One of Sotos's grubby beige boxes hidden under a desk cos it's ugly, or a well-styled Mac to show off to your visitors?

You can buy nice looking aluminum cases for a windows PC if you want and don't mind to spend the extra money. But you can also buy a $20 case if looks aren't important. You have what is called choice More than 90% of computers are PCs so I don't think they are hard to use, especially Windows 7.

You can use IMAP, Microsoft Exchange, or something like Gmail.

The iCrap can only be compared to any of the half-dozen remotes lying around the average home!

Tablet computers can function as a remote if you want them but they can do a lot more than that. An average user can do with a tablet the 80-90% of what he does on his computer. For some things they are better than a computer, reading ebooks for example. And of course they are more portable with longer battery life than laptops. So on this point I agree with parisp. You can have a truck and use it for everything and in most cases it will be ok. But you can also have a small car and a motorbike and you can use the vehicle which is best for each occasion. I wouldn't use an ipad to watch a movie, I do that on my 92" projector screen. But if I want to lie in bed and read a book then something like ipad would be ideal. But if I want to watch a movie on an airplane, ipad would be the tool to use.

IMAP and Gmail are only good for email but what about files?

As for Exchange… it’s an enterprise solution! Would you recommend it for a small business or individual?

As I said before GR, bloody amateurs!

[parisp]

if you don't what to spend some money use gmail with iPhone or iPad, supports Exchange so you are fine.

100 per year for an exchange account is not too much for people that really need it! so its pretty good for the small business, exchange is not an enterprise solution! I have many clients on Exchange! I could not possibly live without exchange these days!

don't like mobile-me for cloud storage but dropbox is the best thing in years! its actually the reason i gave up using my usb stick years ago!

Sotos if you have kids, letting them watch Toy Story on the iPad while you watch a movie on your TV is a blessing! they love youTube on it as well!
