This is just getting silly now.....there seems to be a new one on the market every few months now.

The most purchased remain :

iPad, galaxy, Kindle fire HD, nexus. The new kindle HD look nice for the price, but much useful to those in the US because of the content.

Another slap in the face for Apple, second in 2 months now

It's no different to other electronic devices, TVs, Cell Phones, Game Players etc, etc. Once something is successful every other manufacturer jumps on the bandwagon seeking its share of the pie.

this is the only reason there are so many out now. Every company and its dog are creating one that they hope will be as successful as the iPad. So far majority have failed miserably.

Really....just because some people choose not to belong to the Apple Ecosystem, doesn't make the alternatives a failure.

Tell me, what can you do on the ipad that can't really be done on the myriad of tablets out there? The whole Apple bandwagon thing is just because people think it makes them cool as $h1t, which isn't the case. It just means your subscribe to trends and have money to burn

Well, the best thing about I products is they don't discriminate in the workplace. 14 or 64 you can get a job making imoney!!!!

But the "bandwagon" syndrome applies in most other aspects of marketing. If Tesco introduced a new, highly successful marketing strategy, how long do you think it would take until Sainsburys, Morrisons and Waitrose followed suit?

Don't think most people walk around or flaunt their shopping bags saying look at me, I shop at Tesco

love Tesco and Asda by the way

Get ready Apple fanboys and gals

More stuff to throw your money at, double the cool factor

The UI on Windows 8 is epically bad, imo. Been using it for awhile now and I absolutely loathe it.

For those of you thinking of rushing out and buying a Microsoft Surface tablet, the cheap one is basically an overgrown Windows Phone 8 device as it runs the largely useless Windows 8 RT operating system, if you want one you can actually run all your old Windows apps on, you have to get the one running Windows 8 Pro which costs twice as much as it uses an Intel processor.

One iPad is enough for me, I can only use one at a time anyway.

wot absolute crap.....just cos some people don't choose to belong to the iphone battering brigade...doesn't make iphone products less fun that wot they are.......I am sure there are people out there who purchase apple products cos they are cool....but soon see how amazing they are......for me I bought my first iphone in Sept 2007, there was nothing much else out there cept a few smart phones that u could surf on....and then the "iphone" it was one of its kind, nothing else like it was available when I was looking.....I hummed and harred for ages, and kept thinking its a lot of money just for a phone, but I figured I only live once and after weeks of thinking about it, I went for it, with in days I fell in love with it....with in 3 years I upgraded to the 4...and 2 years later (present day) I have the 5, I am happy to carrying on using apple products (but not computers) just devices because I like them, I am use to them, and I think many people think they same.....
