Has any of you Ipad folks even kept up with what Apple has been doing? I mean really? I've seen Apple come out with an item that EVERYONE has GOT to have and then in a few months that very item has been made obsolete because they've just release the next version of it.
Each and every Ipad, and Iphone and Ipod they've ever made has lasted but a few months with the technology that they decided is the new norm. How the hell do you expect some sites to keep up with this multi-billion dollar company that changes it's norms more than they most likely change underwear?
Some of you were on the site before you had your Ipads and Iphones and have decided to pick them up now and yell, "Can you do this? Can you do that?" The folks here at GT are working on a limited budget unlike the folks over there at Apple.
Apple not only has thousands of people working in their program and design departments, but, also in their production and sales areas. These teams are CONSTANTLY being told to come out with something new each and every month! And you want someone whom has made something has worked, and still works on what has been set as a "norm" to try and keep up with an ever changing gadget?
PCs still rule the "Norm".
Yes, it would be nice and convenient for every gadget to be able to work on everything you want it to. But, to basically demand other places such as GT to stop what they do, which is to teach folks how to play guitar, and start pumping out technology so that next month you can be complaining that they are lagging in their attempts to keep up with your next gadget. Wow!
The world really has raised a bunch of whiners and "gimme now" type of peope... kinda reminds me of that spoiled little girl from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.. that Veruka I beileve her name was... "I want it all and I want it now!"
The post earlier from GT said that they would try and do something about the problem. But, Apple isn't making things easy for people who have already set things out there. And they aren't making things easy for people to keep up either!
That's another good reason to stop and rethink YOUR position on things when you purchase something. Questions you should ask yourselves before you buy it... I don't think you'd run out and purchase an Electric Car knowing that there wouldn't be any place to charge the batteries would you? Would you purchase a hair dryer knowing full well that you're bald and have no chance of that hair ever returning? Or even would you buy a snow sled living in the middle of a desert and never have a chance of seeing snow? So then, why would you jump on the bandwagon to purchase this "Hot" item that not everyone is up to speed on just because "it's the latest cool thing out there?"
From my readings, the Ipad is pretty much locked into it's own little world just as they did with all the OTHER Apple products. Why all these other Netpads are becoming so popular now as they USE Flash and so on.
Just some things to think about before you're standing in line for another 8-12 hours to purchase the next "cool" thing.
Use your common sense God gave you, and some manners. Demanding things because YOU want things done NOW doesn't do anyone any good...I understand you want to get on to the greatest instruction site for the guitar when you are out in the world and stuck on something... but...
