John Gruber summed it up a few weeks back:
"Today’s Apple has turned the pricing story on its head. Used to be thfe knock against Apple was their kit was overpriced. Now, even putting quality aside, competitors can’t match Apple’s prices."
Tablet marketplace shows most clear cut difference.
- watty 16y agoComparing this to an iOS or Android device is silly. This is running a full OS and is not limited to an App Store. It's extremely portable being a tablet but the difference is you can pull out a keyboard and it becomes more than a large phone. Edit: I think iOS and Android are great when on the run but when I'm stationary (most of the time), I want a keyboard/mouse and full OS. If this device could be booted into Android I'd be all over it. If iPad's could boot into OSX when docked, I'd be all over it.
- glhaynes 16y agoSeems to me that when I'm doing the kinds of things that are better on a "full OS" (whatever that means), I'm usually going to want a real keyboard, too.
