Uhm, yeah, that folding thing's been done already - Sony Xperia Tablet P? Mind you, that's not a foldable screen, but the end result is pretty much the same. As for the stylus, capacitive touchscreens aren't really friends with standard styluses, but I suppose they could bundle a capacitive screen compatible stylus with their device.
In any case, I suppose you're right, but I wouldn't call a "folding tablet" a tablet anymore due to the differences in the form-factor and adding a stylus wouldn't really be "innovation", rather just adding an additional accessory to the kit. I would also be careful with using the term "innovation" with those two as both solutions already exist and have existed for a while.
What if you have 15 other Apple devices?
lets see... a $500 apple ipad (thats the same as last release, just a 'omg so amazing' new look) or a $400 Nexus 10. ipad or nexus ipad or nexus ipad or nexus hmmmmmm I wonder if I should go with the awful apple product? I sure made an awful decision last time I did that. Apple is a joke
It... looks like a big iPad Mini.
$500x15 = $7500
Well the Nexus 10 also has a plastic housing and weighs ~1.3 pounds.
I don't own any Apple products and never have, but the amount of cynicism here is too damn high.
Oh gawd people, seriously. Enough with the Apple hate. I understand that most of you in here can't afford one (I can't either, right now) so they love to hate on it... but it's just YET another iterative product.
Did anyone see the Galaxy Tab 3? Yes, it's pretty much the 2. Did anybody complain about it? Errr, no.
Has anyone seen the HTC One Max? Yes, it's an HTC One with a fingerprint sensor (STOLEN FROM APPLE!) slapped on it.
The Samsung Galaxy S4 was a piece of crap with no innovation at all in it (with even a borked little.BIG implementation in it) but I haven't seen ANYONE complain about that.
So, if you people are going to complain about Apple all the time, be coherent and make new threads for the competitors too. And don't forget to bash them, either.
But the iPad isn't made from crappy plastic.Yeah but the galaxy tab 3 is $100-200 cheaper

A stretched-out iPad Mini if you will.
But the iPad isn't made from crappy plastic.
It's... the iPad Mini XL
