LOL. Is the Fire really terrible? (I know that it's not actually feces, so you don't have to go into detail on that part).

No other company gets all that free PR, it just happens to be that because of their successes their fans and detractors have super high standards. No one would get on Amazon or HP for making the same improvements Apple just did.

I just think it's unreasonable to think that every device they ever announce is going to be ground breaking. I mean, I was severely let down when they didn't announce the iPhone 5 and instead hit us with the 4S but in the end I got over it because I still had a year left on my contract anyway.

Yes, it's bad.

This was my 1st iPad purchase.

Hope this helps.

Its not $120 better than the kindle and its definitely worth the extra $200 for the iPad. It was a decent effort at that price point, but the components are just too expensive right now at that price point.

Yeah. It's small, it's heavy, it's chunky, there's no physical volume control (wtf?), the ui isn't great. I'm not sure I'd buy one at $100.

Apple is making too much profit on these things. I think the government needs to step in because it really isn't fair.

I think the government is waiting for apple to bail them out. Apple is sitting on what only 96 billion in cash?

I picture a giant warehouse with stacks of cash made into a giant fort. And that's really fucking cool.

If you think it's heavy you are a pussy.

Seriously though, it's not an iPad, but the for the price it's about right. The volume button (or lack thereof) really makes no difference. The UI isn't so bad, it's more a problem of being laggy sometimes.

I know you're joking right?

And that $300/iPad is gross profits on direct costs. There is till a ton of indirect, fixed and overhead costs that the iPad has to pay for. But yes its obvious Apple is killing it. Look at their stock price.

Compared to the iPad, yes. But it's not meant to be one and people try to make it be one.
