Unless you spend a lot of time in some strange place where there is no 3G/4G/Wi-Fi, there is absolutely zero reason to store data ON the device. |

What laptop could you buy that was at all comparable quality-wise to an iPad for 500 dollars?

Hmm... perhaps Apple IS right for you, after all.
But in all seriousness, Bob Dole is right. Storage ON the device is irrelevant, really. I stream all my movies and music to the device, keep my documents on the cloud (google docs mostly), and use Goodreader for all my other file needs. Hell, if you want, you can play WoW on an iPad, and it works reasonably well. |

Ok... I see your 'Typical fanboy response' and raise you 'typical douche who ignores the question and just calls someone a fanboy instead'.
What laptop could you get for 500 dollars that was remotely interesting?

It's going to be interesting to see how things pan out... we have more and more things moving toward the "cloud" which will make tablets as they are NOW.. fully functional... BUT at the same time, tablets are evolving to be more and more powerful with more storage and options which makes them more capable of running "legacy" programs. The big sticking point being that there is only one "real" OS that is tablet capable right now(Ubuntu).. but who knows what the future will bring. It's a funny paradox (well it really isn't a paradox but you get my drift) |

My 2-yr old Dell was $500 and I can burn/copy CDs/DVDs. I'd like to see an iPad do that. I already mentioned I have no use for a Tablet.

I am talking about being able to run "real" applications over the "cloud".. it's definitely moving that way but we aren't there yet. I'm not talking about just storage. |
