Is it just me or are there just TOO many platforms for serving content already?

@kdupree: It's an engineering marvel. Quality matters. You should try being objective sometimes.

@LordHelmet: What you're referring to is semi-tethered, which is what most people are observing, but the source isn't explicitly stating. The post was quoting what the term Dev Team used (tethered), and the post misunderstood "tethered" to simply mean you have to connect via USB to jailbreak.

@jmalla588: Not close enough to dividing by zero. Whew.

@Webran61: Plus an instant mugshot. Magical!

@Wrathernaut: Same here, except the patiently part. Been checking every hour! lol.

Tethered jailbreak means you'd have to connect via USB and "re-jailbreak" everytime you power off the device or it runs out of juice, in order for it to boot up and be usable again. The last statement in this post sounds kinda misleading.

Jason Chen, you taught your son well. Someday he'll also be in trouble with Apple itself, just like his father.

Pics, or it didn't happen.

@Berkeley: It did. "had to make an emergency landing in Singapore"

@destryer: While they don't always make the best products, I doubt their excellent marketing and high standards would let anything half-baked go out the door from Cupertino. So don't put much hope on that.

@glasjudio: I'm shocked someone even promoted this comment. But when i saw that it was m1ndtr1p, no surprise.

@m1ndtr1p: Because everyone gets the lack of a replaceable battery by now. Ask yourself, why should replaceable battery matter? To swap batteries on the spot? No one really does that now. (If you claim you do, you're an outlier, and are irrelevant.) Tons of people are still buying Apple stuff despite that, because

@m1ndtr1p: They're meant to be mainly content consumption devices, and just a bit of productivity on the side. You're looking for a Tablet PC, with full Windows and stylus on a resistive screen.

@Pawz2142: With quick device obsolescence, you can't rely on game-changing updates, especially from Samsung. They'll release a newer Tab and forgot they had an older one to fix.

@optimusprime0177: I doubt they praised the iPod nano 5's camera. And they did say that the latest touch's camera was crap compared to the iPhone 4's. If you already have a so-so camera on your smartphone, there's no big advantage to having one on your tablet. We were expecting a more decent camera, because of the

@Aklost: There already are Tablet PC's for that purpose, long before the iPad. You're looking at the wrong category. Not everyone's looking for and expecting a conventional stylus-based touchscreen amongst these devices.
