Apple is a California company. Motorola is not. Apple’s products are bound to be superior to Motorola’s products. It’s really not a fair comparison.
Consumer Reports is worse than worthless, especially when it comes to anything more high-tech than a toaster. I wouldn’t take their word for it if they recommended breathing.
(That said, I think they happen to be correct in this instance - the Xoom and Galaxy are just terrible devices compared to the iPad, and everything else out there, at least that I’ve seen, is far worse still. But considering the source is CR, I have to assume they were lucky, or someone paid them.)
I hope to get a tablet soon, but, wouldn’t touch an Apple product with a 40 meter yivik prod.
I will either:
Wait for Windows to come up with a suitable product,
Go with the Android based items, once they can meet my software needs,
Just get a new laptop and forget the tablet thing,
or
just forget about it all together and stick with my old laptop until it falls apart.
Ya just gotta admire the unapologetic straightforwardness of the "MacDailyNews Take" comments. Nope, no bias there, nope... :)
I mean, geez.... I like Apple, and have a number of their products, and yet I overloaded long before the end of their comment, even though I largely agree. I'm sure it plays well to the fans. Unfortunately, such dramatic overstatement gets in the way of taking anything else they say seriously.
Dumb question: can tablets get viruses?
I don’t think anyone here is ignorant to the fact that I am an Apple user (fan). But I hardly consider a Consumer Reports review as a compliment... considering this is the same organization that has put the “fix” in against some products (like the Suzuki Samurai which they deflated tires then forced rollovers to push an agenda).
This being said - after CR chose to pan the iPhone 4, despite it getting the highest marks in testing, all because of supposed issues (antennagate) that were actually non-issues)... I just don’t understand their wishy-washy reviewing.
Even my parents, who for years were loyal subscribers - and who used their annual buying guide as their shopping “bible”... have dumped Consumer Reports. After buying appliances and other consumer goods that were much celebrated in the pages of Consumer Reports - that turned out to be real turds... their faith in CR was shaken enough to dump it.
And a big one for me -— Consumer Reports once claimed that generic brands of “macaroni and cheese” taste “just as good” as Kraft brand... Hello - who’s taste buds were they using? I have tried many other “brands” and found all are absolutely nasty - none even remotely taste like cheese at all. When you look at the ingredient list, it is obvious.
so - while it is encouraging that CR decided to give the iPad 2 “top honors”... I take it with a grain of salt (and I would absolutely LOVE to have an iPad 2!).
