I am looking to replace my laptop computer from something in the ultra mobile market, and I have narrowed it down to the question mac vs. PC. With the release of the ipad, I have either decided to go with the HTC Shift or the ipad 64GB 3G+WiFi
A major selling point would be is whether or not you can use the safari browser on the ipad and stream content from various tv and movie watching websites such as hulu.com and surfthechannel.com
I have been told that hulu will be making a subscription app for the ipad, but with being able to use a full version of windows vista, upgradable to windows 7 (or so I have been told) I don't see how using windows internet explorer to stream internet content would be a problem
The overall weight and size gives the ipad a certain appeal to it, and the fact that I don't have to worry about a slide out keyboard due to the responsiveness of the touch input on the device itself is also a plus. I also like the 9-10 hour battery life vs the 3 hour or 7 day standby battery life of the htc shift depending on if your using the full version of vista or windows mobile 6.
because I don't have cable for the tv and because DTV just plain sucks, being able to stream content from the internet onto the device would be a major selling point, quite possibly the reason why I would purchase one.
any thoughts would be appreciated.
