Apple: I love to hate, and hate to love thee

JoeSmooth
Meh

Apple does not innovate... they renovate and tell the world they have made wine from water.

Galaxy Tab remains illegal in Germany

Facepalm

I couldn't have said it better (Anonymous Coward), consumers love the freedom of choice and Apple should let their products do the walking and let consumers speak with their hard earned cash.

Just a thought, when the iPad was launched it had a 2-3 year lead ahead of its nearest competition and to stay ahead the iPad has to be improved. Considering the rate at which Apple evolves its products and the rapid rise of Android that lead is now more like 3-6 months (over an 18 month time frame).

...Could 2012 be the year of the Android tablet?

Mushroom

Popped into Currys Digital on Oxford Street (Tottenham Crt. Rd end). looks like they already have them (16 GB Wifi/3G) in stock as there was one on the shop floor to play with and I must admit it knocks the spots of the other Android tabs before it.

In all honesty I think Apple's tactics are disgusting and hope Samsung will keep on fighting because this hurts consumer choice.

I hope are all the bureaucrats in Brussels are watching closely. Considering the bitch slap the EU dished out to Microsoft and Intel over the years Apple needs to learn that it doesn't own and control everything.

PlayStation Vita priced up for UK punters

JoeSmooth
WTF?

Deja Vu?

Its nice to see the UK get special treatment from SCEE (...not!) especially when we have the 2nd largest number of PS3 owners globally.

When it comes to the pricing, UK consumers lose out yet again! Have Sony not learnt anything from the PSP and PSP Go?

No mention of how much the games will retail for.

Better be very compelling other history will repeat itself with people holding on to their hard-earned cash.
