Dear Ricardo,
I just got myself a NEW iPad (I have and iPad 1 as well).
After ten minutes of downloading the same apps I have on my old one, I got bored. The NEW iPad is just as boring as the old one. Sure I like the retina display but after my eyes adjusted it was no big thing.
I am, however, enjoying my Mac Mini which has all the "normal" kind of ports that a person needs - that is, I can use it as I want.
Both objects have design lumps and bumps, like all apple products.
Meanwhile I am mucking around with half a dozen android devices (including a watch) and also with a Raspberry Pi (Linux) and several Windows boxes.
I agree with all TEN problems with Apple design as a thing called DESIGN.
cheers
keith

I know this may upset a few, naturally it is meant as a provocation and hopefully may spark some thinking:
