Even die-hard PC fans might have a hard time continuing to hate on Apple's iPad. Netflix is on board, which is pretty awesome in and of itself, and with Marvel having now launched an app for the iPad, you may never have to order pay-per-view from a hotel bedside ever again.
"The iPad is the first device that offers us a chance to present digital comics that are even close to replicating the experience of a print comic," said Marvel CEO Dan Buckley.
According to Buckley, the app will feature an "incredibly" high resolution, along with a user-friendly search engine and some unique viewing options that take advantage of the iPad's touchscreen and finger-swiping.
"Fans will be granted unrivaled access to Marvel's rich library of comics, with launch titles ranging from the first appearances of characters such as Spider-Man and the X-Men to modern classics like the debut of Red Hulk, Jonathan Hickman's acclaimed Fantastic Four run, Joss Whedon & John Cassaday's Astonishing X-Men and lots more."

For a second I thought I was on the Maximum PC website. I mean what's so maximum pc about the iPad, right? It's a joke to even consider it a pc, more like an appliance. Similar to a toaster, or speak and spell.

Once competition gets into action I believe that the Ipad will become a more compelling buy like the Ipod did. Its just that a Windows version can do so much more.
By the way I wonder how long it's going to take before someone has a linux distro running on an Ipad.
I think how thin it is and that means it's pretty portable but I think that a convertable laptop would be better but a little heavier and thicker. I like the options of a Windows machine but the portability of the Ipad sure is sexy. Perhaps there is a use for thing after all. Instead of reading paper books on the toilet you can have the ipad in the bathroom ready for your toilet time reads.

If I had to choose between apple and nothing, I would choose nothing. Until apple changes their control freak attitude I won't be buying their koolaid.
