iPad definitely a threat to Windows

from JoeUser Forums

I’m going to write more about this shortly but having had my iPad for about 3 weeks I have to say that the iPad and other devices like it are going to murder large sections of the Windows based market.

this is true! Windows 8 now even more difficult to customize whilst the iPad is getting easier to customize with the advent of Cydia Winterboard.

Animated Start screens, weather widgets, icon control etc. check it out on Google!

Cydia Winterboard

Would that be on a jailbroken ipad? Last I knew Cydia wasn't usable on an apple device without hacking it.

Average users are not going to risk bricking their devices and hosing warranties like that.

of course this is correct. customization never appealed to average users, be it iOS, Windows or cars. and i am willing to bet the jailbreak/iOS ratio is much higher than the WindowBlinds/Windows ratio. ;)

the Cydia market and Winterboard were already old news when this thread started three years ago though. :)

everyone interested in customization should at least know the Jaku theme: http://www.szilveszter.ca/
