Most people will not eat food that looks unappetizing. Next is your nose (which strongly correlates with your taste buds). Many more people will not eat food that smells unappetizing.
That absolutely does not explain ethnic cooking that billions of people eat every day that smells like the back end of a garbage dump in the middle of a hot day in July.
Creating or helping to improve FOSS is only real way to stick it to Apple.
Obviously you have no clue as to Apple's contribution to FOSS. Look up "WebKit" sometime. Or "Clang" or "LLVM". Much of Mac OS X, and thus iPhone OS, is based on FOSS. Look up "Darwin" sometime. Or the core code that some of the classes in various frameworks are based on.
That's because Google is trying the spaghetti on the wall approach to product development. They come up with something half-cooked, throw it against the wall to see what sticks.
Also don't forget that until Google got into the advertising business, they nearly went bankrupt in the early days. Since then they haven't come up with a single product that could stand on its own without being funded by the massive revenue stream from advertising.
First one has to ask why one "rather large" organization would even entrust it's confidential documents in the first place to another rather large organization which makes its living based solely on the looking at the contents of one's emails, searches, web browsing habits and documents just to deliver advertising.
Come back in a few weeks (months?) when Android 2.2 with Flash 10.1 is in the wild -- and note how much it really, really sucks on a mobile device. Heck, I'd even venture to wager a monetary quantity (100,000 quatloos) on the amount of Flash on mobile device suckage (100%).

There's also no word yet whether or not (or how) the API gracefully degrades on phones which do not support such features.
Join the iPhone OS developer program and you will be enlightened. Hint: Read the UIDevice class documentation, Luke.
Really? In Canada they jack up the prices before long weekends and holidays.
every Windows Mobile phone I've ever used has had me on the verge of throwing it against a wall
And I thought I was the only one that wanted to do that - and with any Windows CE based PDA device I tried to use. Talk about a real POS.
Well, they managed to make #1 top paid selling App on the App Store in just over 24 hours.
I had no idea that there where that many dumbtarbs that bought iPads...
"Scientist" is retard. Loosing his funding would be the best thing that could happen to him.
With an iPod Touch you have to buy the OS upgrades, which I haven't bothered to do.
Not if you know where to download the appropriate ipsw file (from Apple's own CDN servers no less!). Google is your friend here.
It also looks like something out of the 80's.
You can get ARM9-based devices off of eBay for a third of the price:

So, in other words, Android is the ultimate spy on you product from Google. No thank you very much.
Sodomize your enterprise assholes?!
What do think they do on the golf course with their golf clubs and little white balls?
I hold the patent on stupidity. You all owe me licensing fees!

Dear Anonymous Dumbtard,
The iPad isn't meant as a 100% replacement for a desktop or laptop.
Until you get that through your geek/nerd addled cowardly brain, you won't grok the iPad.

EFF is wrong because Chen is not a journalist nor is Gizmodo a press or journalism type organization.
