Yet another post bashing the Note? How about Gizmodo, the technology blog, focus on posting relevant articles relating to, oh I don't know...technology? If the energy spent writing length and non-humourous articles about the Note was spent on talking about other new phones or features this site would be a lot better.

Pages is indeed better than Word (and Keynote is better than PPT, but Numbers is not even close to being on the same level as Excel) but I've had compatibility issues with some Word files and most companies don't use it so that doesn't make it the easiest choice to live with.

Am I the only one who thinks it'd be better to have 540 drawings of 1 million so that 540 people (assuming no ties) get a life-changing prize instead of one person? I realize it'd generate less buzz, but it seems better.

If Gizmodo cares so much about not having to wade through crap, how come there's an almost daily post about how you guys think the Samsung Note is shit because you think its screen is too big? Time to take Gizmodo off my RSS feed.

I agree that people should critically analyze what they buy, but I'm willing to bet that many iPad users just say "shut up and take my money" because their expect the device to "just work".

When my dad was in the Apple store (the day before it launched), employees were promoting Siri and not mentioning that it wasn't fully functional; I didn't watch the keynote, so I was surprised to find out it was crippled. We kept on hearing how it was a "personal assistant" and so forth. Combine that with the news…

Android: Users get bashed for looking at specifications instead of "user experience".

They should at least make some effort to let people know it doesn't work that way in that country. Its just like how a lot of Canadians and Europeans thought Siri would be fully functional.

Don't expect that post. The layout/usability* of the site is still worse than it used to be and the best we've got since then is the blog view.

No, you missed the memo. Any device that doesn't have an "i" in front of it must be crap that no one wants.

The car analogy is about as bad as it gets. If you have a car that can go 200mph, it's so far beyond acceptable speeds that you can't practically reach that speed. 4G is 100% attainable and practical; the moment I turn on a 4G phone its downloading at 4G speeds, not 2G.

That analogy is to good analogies as newspapers are to bulletproof vests.

Its just like how when the iPhone4s was launched and despite the fact that Siri was only fully-functional in the US, not once in the ads or in the media was it mentioned that Siri wasn't fully functional in Canada or other countries.

At least we have apps on both Android and iOS (and you can text if you don't have data or a compatible phone) that use GPS to say where the busses and streetcars are.

And its much better to have CNN talking about the announcement of the iPad a week before it was released? Or about Kris Humphries getting booed? Or to show a Republican caucus where they were literally counting the votes out one by one on air?

And on top of that, from about a few days after the Earthquake, most of the mainstream media has completely forgotten about it. What do we hear about on CNN? iPad launches, Kim Kardashian's marriage, Newt's ex's, etc.

Wow, its been about 12 hours since the last potshot directed at the Note.

The only time Android gets mentioned here is when they're being made fun of for not having an Apple-prescribed screen size.

As the last person on this site to defend the iPad, it is a feature. Especially when you consider how many people will keep it perpetually plugged in.

I'm just going to pretend the headline says "Polenta" and move on with my day.
