laptop or i pad

[v2kdj]

I bought a used netbook in great condition and downgraded it to XP and it runs great an does it all with a slim external DVD drive. It's small enough for travel too. I sold my 15 inch compaq lappie as I found it bulky for the term 'laptop'....
However, like a lucky guy I am, my wife got me an ipad2 32gb 3G for my birthday (one of the milestone birthday's!!)....
The day after I had it it got jailbroken.....piece of cake.....
Any apple device that ain't jailbroke ain't worth the plastic it's housed in IMO... I still got my 4yr old iPhone 3GS on a 30 day rolling contract for ?15 PM an it still does the trick....unlimited data....nice!!
May upgrade for the iPhone 5 when it appears in a few months time. We'll see if it's worth it.
I use the desktop which is ageing now for iTunes etc. as it has a large hard drive for the library......downside is that iCloud needs at least vista to run and the desktop is using XP.
Anyway...after I stopped boring you....LOL... love the iPad and the netbook is gathering dust but I'll keep it cuss I know if I get rid then I'll need it for something.

P.s. iPad does do flash! Try Puffin web browser or Skyfire and once jailbroke there's a whole host of tweaks available via cydia you'll love...

and you can use 'OPlayer' to directly add Divx files to watch without converting to a format for I devices....VLC didn't cut it so I removed it!

'iAnnotate' highly recommended for PDF files....

I personally believe that laptops are better, but if you are looking for something that is very convenient to carry around, get an iPad.
