You clearly don't know tech as well as you do because my laptop did out perform an ipad 2... across the board. It ran spec heavy games of its time at high fps like fear. Fear was a game that people benchmarked by and it ran it smoothly. I know the ipad2 can't deliver that or an experience akin to it. Surprised? You should be. You said you would be. Believe it or not, mobile tech has gone backwards and hasn't progressed due to companies like Apple that sell substandard products - and stupid consumers buying it up like candy.

The cheaper they could produce their rubbish, the more profits they make. They have no reason to build better units except to milk consumers. And before you say that its justified, I agree. As a business decision, it makes sense. As a consumer, I will not stand for that kind've BS. I'd rather put $$ into products that aren't going to be replicated and resold every year.

How about dropping the attitude. If you despise Apple and its customers, fine, but I don't need to hear that poisonous off-topic rant and it's obviously obscuring your ability to perceive technology.

I program OpenGL quite a bit, so I am quite versed on the topic. I can tell you that the current state of the art OpenGL games on the iPad are way beyond what we had on PCs and game consoles of 8 years ago. Go take a look at Infinity Blade if you don't believe me:

OK, who is going to be the first to take their ball and go home?

I wish all fans could quit with the my dog is better than your dog and just accept that there are different strokes for different folks.

At any rate, we will see how well WebOS fairs moving forward.

Touchpad actually looks nice compared to ipad2. I saw a side by side demonstration. WebOS looked like it ran well. WebOS, like the PB browser, display websites the way they should look. So I think if I ever wanted a larger tablet I'd check out the touchpad because it seems like a better fit, knowing that I love my PB.

And like I said, ipad sucks.

get over it apple fanatics.
