Foxconn makes Dells, also. Those $299 optiplex are just dripping in quality, right?

Dude, are you being dense naturally or is it on purpose? Go read my previous post because it already covers your response.

Not really. Apple is crap. There is nothing special about Apple products, they come out of the same factory as cheap "china-tablets" and other cheaper products.

As a poster above said, the one thing that sets iPhone apart is the retina display, but that isn't going to be enough for long.

Your original retort was that apple is better than other tablets BECAUSE other tablets are made in China. Given that the apple products are made in the same place, that isn't a useful argument.

Not that I would defend apple, but the itouch may be $199 but it has been on sale for much much lower than that. Apple has sold so many of them by now that they could probably sell them for $99 and still make some profit. In fact this is what they should do if they dont want their competition to get a foothold in the market.

I think you need to go back and actually read and comprehend what other people are writing before you comment further.

The reason is because you're probably the only one in this thread who doesn't know what the hell I'm saying.

I understand what you are saying, but I am pointing out that you are just tossing out your opinion with nothing at all to back it up.

your first post implied that because Apple's iPads are made in China, they were crap.

What? I think the comprehension issue is on your end.

I was really just making a simple point. You made a comment (a dumb comment) that Apple products are better than China-made tablets. It's rather ridiculous to say that because iPads ARE Chinese tablets. That is all I wanted to point out, but you decided to make a lot of assumptions about my post.

akugami said:
I can therefore reference "chinapads" because I'm talking about cheaply produced tablets.

Again, what? So you define china pad as a cheap piece of junk tablet and then you talk about how iPads are better? Isn't that kinda a useless comparison, saying iPads are better than junk tablets?

I'll play this game. The Nexus 7 is the fastest tablet ever, it's performs better than any other tablet* available now or any time in the future. (I define "tablet" to mean any tablet which is slower than a Nexus 7.)

Whatever dude. You said something that made no sense and I called you out on it, and then you wrote a wall of text to try to turn the argument into something else.

Wait so the Nexus 7's faster than every tablet that's slower than it? WOW AMAZING, I gots to go get one!

What are you going to tell me next, that it's cheaper than every tablet that cost more than it?

Way to miss the point. akugami was saying iPads are better than the junk cheap tablets. Could replace "ipads" with non-cheap tablets and the same would be true. It was an irrelevant remark, so I made one.

What competition? Is anybody actually buying Android media players?

DO NOT PUT WORDS IN MY MOUTH
. You are misrepresenting what I stated. You obviously have an opinion and regardless of what others think, it is a case of "I'm always right and everyone else is wrong." I can't have an intelligent conversation with someone like that. I don't mind a difference of opinion but your statements aren't even grounded in reality.

What competition? Is anybody actually buying Android media players?

Yes. And for use in a proprietary business solution. That's all I'm allowed to say. NDA and all.

Dude, chill out, don't get mad, instead go back and read your own posts. You said it yourself. Here it is again:

Not sure if you're serious...I know the iPads, and all Apple products, are usually premium priced but the build quality is night and day compared to a cheap tablet from China.

I can therefore reference "chinapads" because I'm talking about cheaply produced tablets.

So you are saying ipads are better than cheap tablets. There isn't any other way to read your posts, I am not putting anything in your mouth.

Nexus 7s are better than cheap tablets too. In fact I'd be willing to be nearly all non-cheap tablets are better than cheap tablets. I can't believe it took this many posts just to get you to understand what you wrote in your own posts.
