Response 12/4 why choose ipad?

I  chose to respond to Billy's blog post

Why choose iPad ? Many have wondered about this and still have trouble finding why. Well, what is an iPad? An iPad is a tablet computer made by Apple. It is made for reading audio books,watching movies, browsing the web, listening to music, and most importantly playing games. An iPad is portable and a lot bigger than the Ipod touch or the Iphone, but it does mostly the same task like them. A iPad's starting price is 499 US dollars, a lot more compared to the Ipod touch, but also a lot better in many ways.The iPad has a multitouch surface, allowing you to touch the surface with two fingers and both fingers will work finely. The battery is said to last up to 10 hours of video, 140 hours of audio playback, or one month on standby.

 Why choose Ipad? It does the same thing (sometimes less) as many other tablets just for a higher price for the brand name. The blackberry playbook has live video chat, flash payer built in (which the IPAD does not have), youtube, blackberry compatibility, and any more features. I am responding to this because I wanted to show that there are other things you can get that do more than the Ipad but they aren't advertised for as much.Also, Samsung has come out with a product called the  galaxy tab that runs android OS. This does just about the same as the Ipad. I feel that many people just go for apple products now because they are more "reliable" whereas now almost every product you buy is reliable. Also, most phones come with multi touch and usually the battery stats on any thing are usually incorrect. You also said the Ipad does a lot more than the ipod touch, but  the things you mentioned are also avaliable on ipods and iphones running ios 4.0. Also, all apple products do not run flash. Now many of the phones priced the same as the iphone run flash which is very useful to have everywhere especially on the go.
