“I have been using the iPad 2 exclusively for the week I have owned it, and I can describe the experience best in one word — marvelous,” James Kendrick reports for ZDNet.
“The operation of the iPad 2 is fluid, fast, and glitch-free,” Kendrick reports. “I find I use the iPad 2 more often and for more things than I was using other tablets in the past due to how well things work.”
Kendrick reports, “The iPad 2 is as good as others told me it would be, and I haven’t come across a single thing I don’t like or that I wished worked differently.”

Hold on… did I read this right? ZDNET? ZDNET??? Has the dent in the Universe beginning to ripple outward? 😉
Even the most staunch PC lovers eventually drink our CoolAid.
Bwaaaahaaaaa!
It’s FlavorAid.
You are correct, Sir!!!
The Jonestown Massacre, which inspired the phrase to “drink the kool-aid”, was actually perpetrated with Flavor Aid.

I beg to differ. It is Apple Juice!
What other tablets?
Lets make this easy…
You’ve got the ipad you’ve got shit
There is no comparison
That was supposed to say
You’ve got the ipad or you’ve got shit
Well, this guy used tens of tablets before iPad in prior 11 years.
Oh, he’s just saying that now, so when the next 10″ iPad clone from Samsung or GoogoMoto comes out in the spring, he can triumphantly say this new Android tablet is sooo much better.
He already has SGT 10.1, which is technically closest competitor — even though like four times slower in graphics and almost ten times in vector FP calculations.
However, iPad 2 still better — mostly thanks to iOS and whole “closed” ecosystem.
Geez, fanboy! Give it a rest. The knucklehead said he loves it. Go down in the basement and play a game. Have a Red Bull. Mom will call ya for dinner.
Well, it doesn’t have a SCSI port, no 1.2 meg disk drive, no plug-in USB, no parallel port, no serial mouse port … a real piece of shit.
Daisy-chaining scsi chains. Ah, the memories.
Remember swapping the order of five or six different SCSI devices trying to find the combination that worked for everything?
Trying to forget that…
…and sincerely I preferred it with a state of the art 10″ CRT display: warmer color rendition 😉 !
Now that even Adobe has admitted that Flash on mobile was hopeless, he REALLY has nothing to whine about… 🙂
I fear everybody who buys an iPad. They all call me up because they can’t figure out how to turn it on. Then they want to know how to touch the screen. I’ve had three friends take their iPads back to the store and give up because they couldn’t find the on switch.
Wow, you have really dumb friends. Great story. Not. No disrespect. Sort of.

Wow, and they didn’t even get to the part where they have to plug it in to charge. 😉
This comment is probably accurate. WHen a friend was given an iPad had to set it up (he is a Windows-only type- DO NOT ASK why he got an iPad). He at first insisted on completely shutting it down (with the slider) each time he used it. THen wondered whit took so long to power up. When you have been lost in the nightmare that is Windows, waking up to Apple can take some adjustment.
I just try to remember the first time I picked up an iPod classic and could not get the click wheel to work. Ignorance is curable, I am living proof.
@Tflint
If we added your friend’s IQ’s together and turned the sum into wattage, would there be enough for a 100 watt bulb?
People try so hard to be anti Apple – sad exercise in frustration really. I know people like this, and they are without reason.
It’s just another illustration of the fact that we are all little better than animals driven insane by mental powers that we are not ready for.
@ringgo
Good one!
In other news, the Earth is round and the Moon is not made of cheese….
Did you know …
European belief in a flat earth was a rumor started by a 19th century writer.
No one who could see a round sun or a round moon or the earth’s horizon (common sight on land or sea) believed the earth was flat.
Just a wive’s tale.
Technically the earth is not quite round…
picky, picky… lol
I take back what I said earlier. I’ve heard there is a group of flat-earthers. I am sure this is a recent phenomenon and is probably a result of drug use. Except for crazies like that I think what I said above is reasonably accurate – that is – no one who can see the horizon believes in a flat earth.

Of course, it is made of pixels!
