I doubt you offended anyone. Maybe you confused one or two. :)

I dont rate the 4:3 format or resolution of the screen for video playback,


Yeah I am not wild about the 4:3 format but it sort of makes sense for scaling up Apps which it will do quite well. I am not sure what your problem is with the screen res though. How many pixels do you actually need on a screen that size? It has about 100 pixels per inch which is FAR more than my computer or my TV

When the iPhone first came out I neither needed nor wanted one. As the features I used became available on the iPhone I started thinking I might want one at some unspecified stage. Then my mobile 'phone died and I got a hand-me-down 3G handset.
I guess my point is that with software updates and version revisions people may just acquire them and then they'll be chuffed with it.

Don't get me wrong I'm not knocking them, at a personal level I just don't want / need their functionality.

I'm a dinosaur ............. :roll:

If you're not a girl you shouldn't need an IPad. If you do please consult a MD

This one slipped by …
It's always lupus until the correct diagnosis proves it's not.

I dont care about the amount of pixels. I care that Apple say "you can play HD movies" when in fact the native resolution is lower than 720p.

Lupus aside, I've only just bought an iphone, so I'll stick with that for now. I can see a use for it on the coffee table in the lounge, whenever I can't be bothered to boot the laptop, but that's heading for "excess" territory.

(Yes, I know you are thinking it...the former apple hater now has 3 apple devices..)
