That sounds awesome. I thought the battery would degrade significantly after a period of time like that.

Honestly, a big part of the reason why I'm even considering Apple is because of the experience I've heard with the iPad. I bought the original iPad when it first came out (in 2010), and I still use it almost everyday. I've gotten so much out of it.

On the other hand, the Nexus One (which I got in Feb 2010), fell once, practically stopped being useful after that fall - and to top it off (even if it worked today) Google has marked it as "obsolete" (and hence not worthy to receive any new upgrades). I paid Google more for the Nexus One, than for the iPad (16GB).

Why do you decry Google for the Nexus One being "obsolete", released in 2010, not getting any updates... when you have an original iPad from 2010, which is stuck on iOS 5.1?
