Apple iPad Review

I would've also used my mouth to call up TechTree and lodge a protest, but that won't be possible as it's pretty occupied with moot's dick.

I am super original! Read my articles. Only I don't get it how other blogs get it months before I put it up. x-( I have infinite tolerance for bashing and have a large attention span *Oh look pink ponies and unicorn* Whoo. This glitter is sooo shiny... What was I saying? Ah forget it. Apple is so awesome even if they don't really give two hoots of my opinion.

Look at you people. Trying so hard to amuse me. Had you been on Twitter, I would have given you a gold star for that effort.

I suggest you give them the Gold Star rectally, its trajectory aided by your foot. I usually like trolls, but these f*ckwits are rank amateurs.

He he, nice to see Prasad hands out gold stars... Wonder though, had he had an actual "career" would he be still handing out crappy reviews on worthless products... Cast your vote people... PS: I think most of the posts in favour of Mr.Naik seem to be posted by with with not so original names.. Gosh, how sad and pathetic... He might as well go and sit on his mommy's lap and cry and complain about how people are *bullying* him on his reviews :P

If it was possible (and plausible) for me to give 6 out of 5 rating to the iPad, I would have done that, just to mess with you. Funny thing is, even though what you wrote is clearly meant to insult me and anger me, I’m actually laughing here whereas you are probably still foaming at the mouth and convulsing after typing that. Thank you for providing this entertainment. It comes as a welcome relief after a hard day’s work.

Prasad, its highly appreciable on your part to not lose calm over people making such comments. You, Rohan are few people whose articles I look forward to reading. I am no great techie but a common man curious about gadgets. But still, I do feel that the review has got a tinge of bias. The review for MacBook Air was similar but I thought it was one off. Probably you might want to go through that. As for iPad, yes this peice is indeed VFM, not by Apple but by general standard. But then, Apple has always charged ridiculous premium and will do so for iPad in way of apps and accessories. Now that is a big turn-off. I don't want to be stranded with something I can connect nothing to and have to shell out grands for that.

If you feel there was a hint of bias in a review, it's only because a product is really good (or bad). Good products have that kind of an effect on a reviewer. You tend to pour your heart out while writing about them because you really want the world to know how good the product is. SImilarly, a really bad product can bring out the bad side in a reviewer and he would want to make absolutely sure that no one reading the review comes within ten feet of that product, leave alone think of buying it. We at Techtree don't water down our articles so that they appeal to everyone. I know a lot of popular sites that do that to stay on the safe side by being cautious about saying particular things about a product so as to not anger the fanboys. We don't do that here. If it is bad, we will say it is bad. If it is good, it will be praised. You may feel we are being biased but we are just being honest. But it seems people have a hard time these days digesting the truth. They are so used to these mild articles they read everywhere around them that whenever they see one that uses stronger words to describe a product they feel the writer is obviously biased. Nobody wants to read the truth these days. They want to read what they have in their minds. If the writer says anything that differs from the preconceived notions of a person about a product, he is obviously wrong or biased. How dare he have any other opinion about it?! Unfortunately, that is the state of Internet today. But we refuse to conform to it and always will.

@sameer : buddy just here apple must have paid to P. naik something so he is not reacting and losing his head, check out some other reviews of Mr. Naik, where he has reacted like someone have stepped on the tail of a MAD DOG

Do not waste your money on this piece of crap. Buy the Notion Ink Adam instead. Hell of a lot better in every possible way. If you have to waste money on an Apple product then buy a iPod Touch.. its smaller, cheaper and does exactly the same things as the iPad.

I have made it amply clear that the iPad is the best tablet on the market. Why is there any need to compare it with anything else again? When you say something is the best in a particular category, doesn't it automatically make it better than everything else? If I compare it with something like the Galaxy Tab, the iPad would win by a country mile, giving you another reason to whine in the comments section. If you ask me, what the senior management at Techtree really needs to do right now is make commenting on Techtree really difficult on so only the smarter ones get through.

Mr Prasad, Hope you manage to get your level of filtering on comments required :). Hey can you tell me if ipad is so damn good then why majority of readers are against buying it (as shown in the poll)

is this guy a retard...techtree only for smart asses, when most of the articles are nicked from engadget...good going Naik (didnot feel like adding Mr.)

They are not against the iPad. 31% of the people interested in the tablet are waiting for the second generation model, which is to be expected. With the new iPad around the corner, most people would be holding out for it. What people don’t understand, however, is that the new iPad won’t be released in India simultaneously, which means we are stuck with the current one for some time. The current iPad is the best tablet available in the market today, so even if you are stuck with it, it still is a great product.

Dear Sushil, if you think an article is “nicked” if it is taken from another website while giving them proper credit, then you need to go back to your English teacher and ask for a refund. For your information, it is a common practice.

India has become dumping ground for old products nearing their life end

Agreed to each and every word bro! That was the first reason that came into my mind for such a late release of Ipad.

I am using the ipad for 8 months now and I have not come across a single person who does not get hooked to it after using it for a day..the bottom line is the experience u get from ios and ipad cannot be matched by tab and android at present, prasad's review is totally unbaised seeing that tab still uses a android version which is primarily designed for smartphones and not for tablets. Use ipad for a day , you will forget about all flaws of flash support, cameras etc.

It's difficult to comment on the Adam right now without even touching it. On paper it looks like an amazing device but only after spending some time with it will I be able to say whether it actually is any good.

@rohan have you ever used a notion ink adam before calling it crap?? Just curious. I really believe thats the only tablet which comes to my mind which can give iPad2/1 a run for it's money solely based on the product experience and not necessarily the brand!

Because I really don't think it is a big deal. Rival companies have made a big hoopla about it because it is one of the few advantages they had over the iPad (and Apple) but in reality, most people would hardly ever miss it. And the upside of not having Flash is a smoother browsing experience and better battery life.

I'd second that...I don't think there has ever been a time where I was inconvenienced because of a page containing flash not opening on a mobile device.

I work at a petrol pump, where iPad's lack of flash is a boon. Petrol has a very low flashpoint, so I can now leave the petrol nozzle on auto and watch pr0n on my iPad.

I am Ming the Merciless, the arch nemesis of Flash Gordon, and I too approve of Apple ditching Flash with the iPad.

Trust me, I've used the Galaxy Tab. It was one of the most disappointing devices that I used in 2010. It may seem decent now after the price cut but back when we reviewed it the price was much higher.
