[Gman91189]

1st.. eWww on the windows 8 looks horrible
Second
Deff a laptop better yet, a pc for business


I personally, HATE I pads, I gotta Samsung galaxy 10.1 tab which is waaaay better den the I pad 3..
Widgets, personalization, Java Multitasking etc..

I have a HP 600 Touchsmart 600-1050 and a galaxy tab
my girl has a custom Dr Dre beats laptop and a kindle

No I pad for me, they are extremely OVER priced for no reason, there is nothing an I pad can do that my galaxy CANT

^^^ You talk as if Samsung's Galaxy line is sub-$200. Many of them cost the same price or more than any iPad...even on a 2-year contract with AT&T and Verizon.

[Gman91189]

Ur right but for 10k what would u get a 97 hunday or a 2012 Mercedes
The galay has alot more features then just apps

Galaxy Tab is horrible to be honest. There are better Android tablets. Asus Transformer Prime is arguably the best

[unkown5454]

Agreed on Asus ^^^.

And even Samsung themselves admitted at MWC in the last 2 weeks that they can't even come close to competing with iPad.

Its comes down to preference, I prefer to have Widgets then just apps

[jbluntz]

widgets for the ipad

Dashboard Widgets for iPad - YouTube

Dashboard Widgets for iPad - YouTube

Something I would never use

[unkown5454]

Good God that implementation of widgets is awful.

[jbluntz]

There's 100's more widget themes then that dude, I could care less though, if I saw a widget on my ipad I'd probably throw it out the window..

At least with the ipad you can turn them into cool turntables at starbucks and have all the chicks look at you while you drink your coffee and look awesome...

Seriously though I would say iphone and laptop.... The iphone lets you do all those things on the go and laptop can be the heart of the operation. Now if you can afford it then why not add the ipad too... We love the toys don't we?

if you want a windows on a table i recommend a hp slate 500 it have a full operating system on it ( windows 7 )

[jbluntz]

I have windows 7 on my ipad but never use it =/

Interesting reading....
When I was shopping for a laptop, my specs were mainly that I wanted the fastest laptop out there, and money was no object. Everyone pointed to the Alienware. Sure, I travel all over the world, and it's as heavy as a tank, but that's why we've got luggage on wheels. I consider it more of a portable desktop. When I need extreme portability, like bouncing around between meetings, that's when the iPad comes in. But, for brute force programming at mind numbing speed, the Alien is perfect.

And, I love all the comments on how ugly it is. Funny how every time I open it, I've got people drooling, and wishing they could afford one.

I use my iPads for everything I can, and it can't be beat when managing my EB accounts during a lazy day in bed. But, reading all this talk about the Galaxy Tab, and Asus Prime....maybe I need to go check those out, and grab one...or both.

Nobody replied to the question tho of whether or not the iPad hides our ID's better from EB though....??

Depends on how you're using it, if you're using the virtual machine or remote desktop for windows then you use it just like you would on your windows computer if not then you can just use the different user apps out there like Switch, not sure what you mean by "hides better" if you've got cookies seperate between users and different ip then that's hidden enough for ebay.

How do you seperate users on an iPad?
Does the iPad/Safari store cookies just like I.E.?
And EB see's my IP from an iPad, just like from a Windows machine?

Even tho I have an iPad, I'm relatively ignorant to its security structure....

Like I said above, you use one of the user apps like Switch or different windows users with the remote desktop.
