Apple iPad Stress Tests

How sturdy is Apple's latest gadget, the iPad? Senior Editor Tim Moynihan applied our grueling set of classic stress tests to the device so you don't have to...

"your not going to want to put this under water".... Really? Well that does surprise me :/

Anyway, shame the screen suffered after just a few drops, I drop my iphone all the time and it seems to handle it well. Like most things Apple, if your interested it's generally better to wait on the 2nd gen model which often releases shortly after the original.

Anyway, let us all moan about it's pricing and real world applications now...

aw that sucks, I planned to use it underwater along with my gills to breath. Don't think I'll be getting this anymore then, that's an outrage.

But yeah seriously, I guess it's because the device is bigger than the iPhone. I also dropped my iPhone quite a few times with it still being perfectly in-tact and working. And I'm still on the original 2G model lmao so that's one hella sturdy device.

Waiting on the new iPhone to be announced this June. Can hardly wait to see it. It better be hella good as HTC is making the iPhone look like old 80s flip phones in comparison now.

LMAO

The guy put water on it and the screen responded... and even a f!cking donut can work as a stylus xDDD

PS: How much time usually pases before Apple launches the second gen of one of their products?? I know it's better to wait but...

What a waste. Of Donuts.

Great intro by the way, it was funny. As always these "stress tests" are over exaggerated, but I think the conclusion is: Don't waste your money?

Fanb0y5884d ago

This thing is way too flimsy for my liking. If a few drops can ruin the screen...

coolasj195884d ago

Ipod Protection Ageny ( IPS ) on this case NOW. we have to stop this abuse or else no one will ! ! !

Close_Second5884d ago

...who would have thought release a bigger version of the ITouch would be so successful. I would consider getting one if my netbook packs in and they are at a reasonable price. I get the feeling in NZ they'll go for around $1,000.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing15d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit15d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing15d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9214d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
