[QUOTE="Voony, post: 1030031, member: 144142"] Mac, if I may, I don't think that he meant to be rude or anything. I think that he is, like many other people, surprised and tired of people complaining that the iPad doesn't do this or that. I think that the raison d'etre of the iPad is to be an easy to use internet browser, video player, music player and whatnot. Nothing more requiring more power or more anything. Otherwise, if you give the iPad a real OS, then you have a very different product. And I think it is called a "Tablet PC" or even a "laptop" :-) From what I could gather online, tablet PC or MAC that run a real OS are, first of all, bigger, thicker, heavier, with a battery that doesn't last long. I've spent quite a time looking info about these tables online. The ones with a real OS are just as complicated - for many people- to use as real computers. And Apple didn't want the iPad to be something complicated to use. It's easy, starts fast, and stops fast :) My 2 cents... [/QUOTE]
