True, some users might have some switching pain, but that's true for most things. Windows to Mac, Xbox to PS3, Kindle to Nook. Lock in is real, but rarely determinative.
Consumers vote with their wallets. The free market is a powerful thing.
- glenjamin 16y agoHow often do you expect to replace an item like an iPad? I'd expect one to last at least 2 years.
- khafra 16y agoPeople who own an iPhone or iPad bought it because they perceived it as their best option. Whether they buy something else, or just grit their teeth and bear it because there's still nothing better, they're being hurt when their best option gets worse.
- jad 16y agoAgreed, but shame on the competition if they're unable to build a product good enough to convert dissatisfied iPad customers.
