Apple is just about to open a big (computer/ipad/i-xxx) factory in Brazil. It is growing and invading various niches here, which is equally threatening to freedom...
But now we have ArchAudio that will prove an strong alternative in the fields of Music and ProAudio too! =)
Hello again, Ipad (i have a one, my son, too and so my gand-son) it is a great peace of machine+software, but here it is expensive (2 times the price of the notebook), and so is out of the possibilities of a 80% of the population. In my master (administration) they show me that while everyone is trying to sell everything to the 10% top of the social pyramid, they forget that the other 90% have needs, and one of the TOP needs is education (learning) and so they need computers and internet. Here (Brazil) the price of the desktop is the same of a notebook, so people prefer the notebook, small ones, (1Gb memory, 160Gb hd, celerom/atom)... Here I bought several notebooks HD (sansung 160GB or sansung 320GB) install archlinux (cloning the filesystem), so I always have about 5 units ready when I receive a notebook, I open it, change the HD, boot it, fix the Xserver config, and it is ready, usually a 10-15 minutes work time... Sometimes I had to install gnome-ppp to support 3G/gprs network. People use Linux because it is easy, and cheaper, (even if windows is for free: pirate one), they charge for installing it over and over again.. so Linux is cheaper. better.. Sergio
