@ApocalypseGuppy DRM will always be a losing battle. These, producers should realize it by now. Anyway, as for downloading P2P. Just be careful, or you can really go to prison, like this kid. http://j.mp/p2p-kid-jail
@Glodokboy Yes, I mean should it be really that way? Everytime we see another tablet here, should it be compared with the iPad? Okay we know the cupertino tablet made a fine-debut last January 27, but could we just stop the clamoring for a moment (engadget) -- Those cross-referencing to the apple tablet is starting to clutter post/feeds in this site.
I see a particular problem here: Most games are controlled by moving the iPhone/iPod Touch back and forth using its built in accelerometer. It’s easy to hold a small physical device like the iPhone in two hands and tilt it every which way. It’s not as easy to do that with a 10 tablet computer. If games are the biggest thing being downloaded, it would seem to me that either there are a lot of freecell and scrabble enthusiasts out there, or these games aren’t being downloaded to a tablet sized device.
@rhezaganteng Sure, it happens all the time when “competition” is overshadowed by high barriers to entry and near-monopolistic strangleholds on markets. Capitalism is a double-edged sword that doesn’t always swing the right direction when coupled with modern business practices.
The theory says that competition is good because companies compete to please consumers…but that model breaks down when only a few companies dominate the market, and they realize it’s much more profitable to simply collude — er, collusion is illegal, so clearly they’re just “adjusting to market forces”…riiight.
Competition is good on the end of the users.. Hopefully, it'll still be the case for the ebook wars.. Details: http://bit.ly/the-apple-ipad-details
