Okay, nice video, but seriously the presenter should stop using that hand mannerism... I keep thinking he is trying to touch the units' display. Either get the hand out of there or pull the camera back a tad and show the hand completely...and keep the hand open like a presenter would do ... think "Price is right".

Otherwise good video.

@Tralornik Thanks for the feedback.

Some of those mannerisms that you see the pros do are the result of years of training and experience. And they make them look so easy. You never exactly know how you come across until someone tells you, so thanks for that.

Hi I'm having trouble on weigther I should get an iPad first generation ( wifi ) 64gb or the xoom ( wifi ) only? I want a bunch of space but still want the camera for FaceTime and my spending limit is $500 pores help :(

[wirefly]

@ae77allday There's no way to get one of these without spending a decent amount of money, so I suggest that you take a good hard look at both in a store. Honestly, I don't have much time with either, and don't want to give you advice based on my limited experience. Take a look at them and spend wisely.

hey bob, i have been wanting an iPad 2 for quite some time now but i don't have any money to buy one nor do my parents. Any idea as to what i could do to get one without spending money?

[wirefly]

@MrThecab1234 What you could do to get an iPad 2 without spending money? Short of winning one in a contest, I can't think of any legal way to get an iPad 2 for free.

very good review, there will always be apple fan boys that have nothing better to do than to bash and try to make someone feel inferior

[wirefly]

@MultiHonk When we made this comparison, the iPad 2 wasn't yet released and the date for its release was still vague.

[TRAGIFIED]

Get your hands out of the picture if you aren't operating the devices. Pecking at the device with your index finger and thumb was annoying.
