Apple... Think different???

Seriously Apple? Is that really going to be your motto? Let's take a look at this...



There are currently over 64 different Android devices on the market available through a dozen different service providers running dozens of different launchers and roms. There are also on the market today a dozen different tablet devices running android software. All of these have the features of the iPad and MORE! More like USB plugs, SD Card Slots, quad core processors, twice the RAM, and better keyboard interfaces. That is just to start. All Android devices will also charge off any computer through a USB port. I can't even charge my iPad unless it is plugged into the wall or a Mac.

So is Apple different? Mmmmm... maybe four years ago they were. Now they are just the same ole same ole. Even their last iPhone launch and recent iPad launch was just more of the same. Nothing new and nothing driving people to buy it other than man fanaticism toward the brand. I can't take anyone seriously who uses an iPhone for anything other than a phone and media player. The iPad isn't terrible, but there are so many better options out there which are so much more user friendly. If I could justify spending the money then I would absolutely be rocking an Android tablet right now. I don't even bring the iPad with me to work anymore. I just don't get as much use out of it due to the limitations of the device that I wouldn't have with say, an Asus Eee Pad Transformer.

So enjoy standing in lines to get the latest remake of the last iOS product and keep telling yourself that you are thinking differently. All you are really doing is thinking just like Apple, and that isn't different at all. When everybody thinks differently and yet all the thoughts are the same, that is called something else. I think it is the opposite of 'originality'.
