The other manufacturers have made tablets, ergo, they copied Apple?

You, sir, owe me a new monitor. Currently, mine is dripping with spewed tea.
I'm not a fan of Apple's marketing, either, even though it's brilliantly effective. My whole problem was the whole "Can your phone do that?" campaign. I was using a crappy Sidekick during that time, & my answer was always "Yes, yes it can." I had an overzealous friend who bought into all the iPhone hype, believing that no other phone could do what her iPhone could. All too often we'd have the following type of converation:
Friend: PENGUIN! Look what my phone can do!
Me: *demonstrates the same thing on my Sidekick*
Friend: *looking forelorn* Oh...well...it can also do this!
Me: *demonstrates the same thing on my Sidekick*
Friend: Oh...well...soon all iPhone owners are getting an update so we can copy & paste anything on our phones!
Me: *demonstrates copy & paste on my Sidekick*
Friend: Oh...

I agree with you. My first thought when I saw one for the first time. But that is alright. SP rules and Canadians are fine by me.

I'm pretty sure Apple didn't invent the computer, screens, touch screens, phones or even the tablet (they just made it big) but do we call them copycats? no, we don't, I'm glad Steve Jobs is better, but his speech was halfly about making snide comments at other manufacturers.

Welcome to the big, wide world of marketing. Nothing new and in defense of Mr. Jobs, what he said was rather innocuous. At this point, I agree with the Fanboys. The iPad is the clear winner, so far. I am NOT saying Apple is better than Android, just good enough to solve my problems and well made.
What I wonder about is the next Apple iThing? If history is any guide, it will likely be cool or perhaps radically different. Or, perhaps if Mr. Jobs leaves, for whatever reason, will the company survive or become just another computer maker? If Jobs is the leader and ultimate Fanboy, will his replacement have the same vision?

The same could easily be said of some who buy Android devices. The proverb about not throwing stones in glass houses springs to mind.
no, most i know are fine about it.. its just a certain type of people.. it immediately makes them into illogicals
with Android this happens over a long period of time

I don't care what the brand name is when I purchase a product as long as it does what I want and the price is right. My experience with Apple products has shown me their stuff is over priced and doesn't last. Do I hate Apple no, I just think there are better options available on the market.
That's why I decided to go down the Android path when purchasing a new smart phone. Unfortunately I bought an SF!

I think Apple's success is mainly due to their designer, Ive something and apparently he's leaving to come back to the UK, you have to admit, his designs are amazing!
I disagree with the fanboys, I think the iPad 2 will have been pwned by half way through the year (not in sales, in specs)

Perhaps. I tend to think Apple's success is in three parts: the engineering and design of the product, the sheer force that powers its charismatic leader, and brilliant marketing.

Specs don't matter though. Sales is what matters.

to the company, yeah, not to everyone else

But that's my point. Companies don't produce products based on what kind of specs they could put in them. A company could probably release a Quad core tablet with 4 gb of RAM. It would be huge, clunky, heavy and have virtually no battery life, but the specs would be amazing. No one would buy it. Because no one would buy it, no company is going to build that right now. Companies won't build something that won't sell. If Apple somehow maintains it's 95% stranglehold on the market over the next 3-5 years. No one else will make tablets regardless of what specs they can put in them because there's just no money.
The iPad 2 is already pwned by the Xoom (I wish they would release the wifi only version price and release date...)
A.Nonymous

In what way? Spec wise they're very close.
Well, sure. If you ignore:
* RAM
* I/O ports
* Flash capable
* 4G capability
But, if you ignore those, then they're really close.
Not to mention that it appears the iPad 2 has the same camera as the iPod Touch.

And in terms of general features, they are equal. Just sayin . . .
I think you go Android because you dislike Apple or you go Apple because you.... um..... er..... Because you like Apple. No real difference except the Xoom is way over priced for what you get. And I do not think it is made of metal and glass like the iPad.
And the Xoom is not Insanely Great (Insanely Great Copyright 1945, Apple Computer Company, Cupertino California. All Rights Reserved.)

Have you seen what honeycomb is capable of? It's nuts. I'm sorry, iOS is just a phone interface on a tablet... Honeycomb is a true tablet interface.
Or you go Android because you like the features... or you go Apple because what they offer is good enough.
Actually, it is reasonably priced for a similar iPad (or now iPad 2).
We will see when the Xoom wifi only comes out. If it is around $499, then we have a true competitor... come on.
