Every smart phone on the market updates at least oncce a year. Unless it wants to fade into the background. TV's and computers are upgraded every 3 months or so...
Its just a constant race to stay alive in this market...

iRefuse to buy an iAnything

not so much because it's bad hardware, because it's really not....but iDespise Apple's business practices.....people think Microsoft is "big brother"....what they don't realize is that if Apple was the dominant computer instead of Windows-based PC's, there would be a LOT less freedom to do what you want on a computer....and you'd be paying 5x the amount of money for that "privilege".

and Steve Jobs is an iDouche. he can go iFuck himself....

yeah same here.

If it had been an OS X tablet I would have been first in line. Since it's just ipod touch jumbo I really have no interest. I already have an iphone and I would use the ipad in similar situations.

I can see it appealing to people that don't have an iphone or ipod touch though, or people who just want a tablet to browse the internet.
