    Wasn't this an announcement from the manufacturer?

    Huh? You charge some 10 digit number to make a PC? like $1,000,000,000? I could not make the math work for your $500 labor+parts.

    You either;

    1. Really Over-Pay for parts

    or

    2. Live in a country with very short phone numbers.

    You should just ignore him. He is simply being contrary. He knows nothing about making music. Just finding things to respond to negatively.

    Nothing herculean about presenting a power point tablet from an iPad. Particularly if you make one that works in Keynote. Even better if you have an iPhone to use as a remote. The iPad has HDMI and VGA interfaces (and ATV Mirroring).

    95% of powerpoint comes out fine in Keynote. I have never seen one that took more than 10 minutes to fix,

    Lol. So having a filesystem defines what a tablet is. I guess that means the iPad has 100% of the non-tablet market. (About 84 million devices) and Kindle has 90% of the tablet market (about 10 million devices).

    Makes sense to me.

    Thats true. Block diagrams are much easier on the iPad. Maybe I should Omnigraffe on the desktop again, but compared to visio the iPad is a joy. Still hard to get all the stencils you need for some things, but that is just a matter of time.

    I agree. The difference is, I can sit in the cab and type on the screen. When I get to a table I can pull out the keyboard. Good stuff.

    The people who say you cannot create on the iPad are generally not very creative people. They actually can't imagine creating anything anywhere.

    You just don't know what your talking about. It is always fun to watch someone tell someone they can't possibly do what they are doing.

    I dunno. People have been doing it with Dragon for years and years. Sometimes it is actually easier to dictate stuff than type. Really has nothing to do with fanboys. They fact that Siri's dictation surpasses anything Dragon ever imagined is just a bonus.

    I am not sure why is it so hard to get the cursor where you want it to edit on web pages. Works fine for real apps, but nearly all web forms fall apart if you need to edit.

    And then they pay taxes on the "Gains" not the part they previously earned. Nothing is taxed twice. We need to keep pointing that out because the GP was a complete moron.

    Because the only thing anyone wold accept as proof are his actual tax reruns. The whole thin wold make him appear desperate. His campaign has not been managed well. They should have released the information long ago. They knew it would come out eventually. Releasing it in June would have been much better.

    You don't see the difference between showing a product in the best available light versus showing video from a professional camera and claiming it came from the phone?

    You really don't? Ou think that is in any way equivalent. The Siri ads are like the HTC ads where everyone in the band is using a phone. Could the phone do that? Sure. Would it take optimal conditions that are unlikely to exist on earth today? Sure. The Nokia ad was a lie. He phone could never do that because it wasn't done with the phone.

    Correct. This patent does not specify a method of recognition. It is a basic "with a computer","with a mobile device" patent.
