iPad Shortcomings You Should Know About

I think what your qouter is looking for (as I am), is what personal short comings are you talking about, not links to one and two year old articles written by pool typist. (It doesn't have a user replaceable battery so you have lug around a charger ? Please, isn't that the same "shortcoming" with the PB ?)

yeah...i mean the tablet concept itself is extremely limiting....the design itself is going to mean there are shortcomings built in.

This is why i (my personal opinion) prefer the playbook, because its shortcomings are offset by (1) Great price
(2) Good size (i can put it in my pocket)
(3) Free internet (i already have unlimited data on my phone so via bridge it is free)

That's true, but it was already 29-30% when I posted it.

10 point spread now, 40% to 30%

**rcm1301** · 05-10-2012, 11:10 AM

Go PB. I have PB, Xoom and iPad2 in my home and my personal device is the PB. My daughter likes the Xoom, my wife the iPad. I have found that I do not need a lot of apps to do whatever I want to do on the PB (almost the same with Xoom, but sometimes it's tricky). With iPad, almost everything has to be done with an app AND iTunes. Hate that!

Playbook I now at 41%. Android remains at 30%

**mrzeolite** · 05-10-2012, 12:07 PM

Funny, I carry my PlayBook just about everywhere and always get asked if it's an ipad or kindle. People more often than not know the names and not the actual tablet. I have yet to meet a person who has actually used playbook and not loved it. It's all in the marketing.....

Kleenex being a great example of this, or Coke for soda. iPad is synonymous with tablet now.

I wonder if everyone realizes that this poll has become statistically meaningless lol. All it proves now is that a large group of motivated individuals can skew results.

Yeah...I can't even read about the incident that inspired the war against the city of Troy when Paris of Troy took Helen away from her husband, the King of Sparta, without thinking about those re-cycled Michelin tires turned into sausage casings.

Not scientifically valid. Results are updated every minute.

LOL
It's already 42% now

**scrapmetal58** · 05-10-2012, 12:33 PM

When I posted the poll the results were:

Amazon - 212
Android - 995
Windows 8 - 533
Playbook - 985
WebOS - 212

So, each option has increased. I'm sure some people that viewed it from here voted for other products.

**husainpatan** · 05-10-2012, 04:02 PM

Whoa..! Its past 42 percent now
When I chip in it was at 38..
Rip it off CB!!!

Just imagine your PB with BB 10. It will be glorious just to witness how the most humble tablet in the market evolved in record time (less than 2 years).

42% for PB, 30% for Android

**sledhead800** · 05-10-2012, 09:14 PM

It's now up to 43%! I have a playbook and love it!

**AfroZepher** · 05-11-2012, 09:38 AM

kool PB is at 43% i voted too

i really think the PB is just really underestimated. you have to touch one and mess about with it before you realize its power. So many of my coworkers are smitten with mine now and are thinking to get themselves one as well...

Given a few thousand have read this thread, the results of the poll are likely inaccurate as many of us have voted for the PB. The population of voters is not an accurate representation. If that page was posted to an Android forum, the results may begin to favour Android tabs.

Just being devil's advocate.

**kbz1960** · 05-11-2012, 10:43 AM

How do you it hasn't been posted on an android Site?

I don't...that's why I said 'If' and 'may'.

Who cares? We're having some fun and promoting the PB!
