"we already have consoles, and look what they did to the PC gaming market" - exactly, nobody saw that coming, the pc people thought those consoles will never replace gaming on a "proper" computer, but ooops,, it did.... just a thought, but what if crappy little $1 games do actually start...

the problem is, with mass-adoption (which smart phones are moving towards very quickly....) comes mass-usage... and the average mass user will not download much additional content that will alter the OS's behaviour, yeah they will download games and stuff, but the average mass market user will...

a picture of 2 lcd panels standing side by side SWITCH OFF!!!!! this qualifies for news???? come on...!

i don't think this rumour is going to be correct at all... apple "license" all devices that are made for the ipod iphones, and ipads by using the dock connector as the interface (the dock connector is what companies need to pay a license fee to use). if they turned over to standard usb, there...

i think what "abhijeet1982" is referring to is the hardware refresh interval that apple have, you can be sure that in most cases apple will refresh their hardware once (at most twice) in a year, and the most up-to-date version of the iOS will work in several generations of the product at once...

to be an accurate comparison the current galaxy tab sales should be compared to the ipad 3g version only, but i don't know if individual model sales figures of the ipad are widely available or not..

@stocklone: yes it does matter that it is laggy "out of the box"... when i buy anything, i expect it to function at a desirable level from the off.. to compare, you wouldn't buy a new car and then say "it'll be fine once i've replaced the engine as the one it comes with is too slow, and while...

@yao: there is, its called a 16gb ipad, $499 without a contract..

@keepdreaming... yeah it's a pipe dream, probably won't happen, it's just my thoughts is all... microsoft are cozying up to adobe right now but any merger between those two would be very difficult as it would give microsoft complete control not only of the desktop o.s. (apple aside, ms still...

@g00fysmiley: unfortunately that idea is not really open to adobe as nearly half of their company revenue is generated from mac owners (according to adobe's own published accounts figures..). as a percentage of use, the mac platform is far far less piracy on it than the windows platform does...

wouldn't it be really weird if in the end microsoft ride in with some open standards html5 based tech the beats the both of them.....! oh wait, i forgot they are peddling that silverlight rubbish!!!

apple control the iOS eco-system, adobe control the flash eco-system, it will be interesting to see which "closed system" wins... because make no mistake, flash is also a closed system under the control of one company... people tend to overlook that... In the ideal world, HTML5 should be the...

if anybody cares to take a look in the folder where the itunes library file is stored, you will see an XML file (XML is a standardised data transport definition). If anybody cares to open this file in a text editor, you will see its a datafile describing the entire contents of your itunes...

it is possible to do all of these things simultaneously, but your doing each one as a separate task at the same time.. its not the same thing.. apple are proposing a system whereby all of these tasks are performed using the very same connection, a fundermentally different method to doing each...

allowing 3rd party devices to use itunes will not be a big deal to apple as they've always been comfortable with charging more for their hardware over other manufacturers as they are happy that their products offer a better end-user experience. (i.e. ipods are better than most if not all other...
