Unfortunately, when online orders are 2 - 3 weeks now; it just shows how quickly they're selling. You can pick up an Asus Transformer or Samsung Galaxy tab, but personally don't think you will ever get the same experience.
Anyone saying iOS is ageing? - Well, it's stood the test of time and developers keep rolling in to create applications for it.
iPad 2 to iPad 3 jump not worth it? - Most of those saying that probably haven't tried one. I'm awaiting to look at a new one before I give up my original iPad. It'll take a while before applications take advantage of the extra pixels.
I agree the new iOS6 + new iPhone 5 will enhance sales and push the experience further. I just dislike the slant people put on devices that it's all about the specification. No. It's the software running on it that makes the difference.”
And Android tablets are not gathering the same momentum as the software in mobile phones. The fact most Apps are being tailor made for Ipad makes it the leading tablet plus it was first on the market in the "new wave of tablets" after the failures years before.
The Samsung tried to win with better cameras and flash. Now flash sites are on the way out and the Ipad 3 has better cameras. IOS5 brought all the things like notifications too.
Nobody is talking about Ipad "limitations" no flash now. All you hear is what a great product it is. I've even seen many Android fans admit the Ipad is better. I think the coin is turning on the phone market now the Iphone 4S is a solid smart phone, good cameras, better features in the OS.
Android have tried to offer what a niche market want like flash, wiglets but they have forgot about making a smooth, fast product hence Ipad wins every time. I hate touch screen phones literally. I never feel like I'm using a touch phone with the Iphone it's better than keys. Yet other phones like the Galaxy frustrate me, annoy me texting really feels like you are pushing a touch device and it feels cheap.
