TravelPod Member ReviewsDrury Inn & Suites Riverwalk San Antonio
The location of the Drury is perfect. Centered between numerous restaurants and walkable to the Alamo and other sites. One elevator wasn't working when we arrived, and the treadmills blew a fuse all at the same time. But other than that it was excellent. Staff is super friendly!
This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
My wedding ring came up missing from the wallet inside my purse in my room while at breakfast after the room was cleaned. This hotel does not have a in-room safe, "do not disturb" sign or security cameras on the floor.
Well at least I can warn fellow travelers. Jewelry is an easy target and they will just say you must have misplaced it because nothing else was missing. The sad thing is--you can sell it on any street corner at the "we buy Gold" shops.

Historical Traveler Reviews Drury Inn & Suites Riverwalk San Antonio
Great Place - Overall Grade A Minus
So why not A+?
This is a hotel that was a renovated warehouse and you have to look extremely hard to find remnants of it's past. It has been totally updated to give a boutique charm with the modern resources of a major chain. It has fresh paint, marble floors and counters and attention paid to most every detail. It is located on the Riverwalk and very close to everything downtown. It is on the edge of restaurant row so it is a short walk to the excitement or to the solitude.
From the beginning, if you drive to the hotel, you are greeted by a security officer who directs you to the parking structure. The parking garage is clean, well lighted and very secure. The lobby is polished and inviting. All entrances require either an electronic key or they have staff posted, to give the feeling that they have consider eliminating most security threats. They have a well appointed guest business center in the lobby with large windows overlooking St. Mary's street. The roof houses the outdoor wading pool and heated whirlpool with spectacular views of the historic buildings and distant countryside. The top floor also has a "closet" of a workout room, with two treadmills and a broken stationary bicycle. This facility isn't designed for the serious athelete. If you must run, go to the bottom-riverwalk exit turn right and run unobstructed along the Riverwalk and enjoy the view. If your military, drive a few minutes to Ft. Sam and have a great workout. The lower level also has the Texas Land and Cattle Steak House. A+ food and A+ service. Tip (for real meat eaters, try the slow smoked sirloin).
The hotel staff was extremely helpful and very friendly. Even if you see a staffer in the hall, they ask you about your stay. You get the impression that they have a personal stake in the success of the hotel.
The rooms either overlook the Riverwalk or St. Mary's - Your choice of street noise or boat and partier noise. The rooms have tall ceilings so you won't bump your head when bouncing on the beds. The bathrooms are classic "Drury Efficiency" with the basin in one room and the shower/tub and bowl in a closet-sized room. The rooms have all the amenities for a business traveler (coffee pot, iron, a real work desk, high speed internet, a recliner and a TV with more than basic- 5 channel cable). Also typical Drury are the plastic wrapped, plastic cups - Hey, at least you know they're clean. The hotel offers a full breakfast with a hot, pour-your-own waffles. To better enjoy your stay, walk down the block on St. Mary's and stop into SIP, a hip, modern coffee shop for a nosh and a decent cup of coffee. On your way back to the hotel pool patio, feel sorry for the people staying at the nearby Holiday Inn and Sheraton Gunter hotels because you are getting much more for much less.
Worked Great for Family...
Great location, just a few minute walk to restaurant row on the Riverwalk. Staff was extremely polite. Suite worked out great for our family with 2 small kids, don't think there is a comparable suite opportunity on the Riverwalk. One confusion re. terrace-view was resolved by the hotel manager to our complete satisfaction. Pool and spa area on roof where nice. We will return.
A Doorway Onto Riverwalk
This is a very nice hotel with an excellent location. There is an exit right onto Riverwalk as well as the standard entrances from the street and the garage. Breakfast was adequate but lacked sufficient "healthy" foods. The Monday through Thursday evening free beverage hour (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic) was again adequate but not outstanding.
The restaurant located in the hotel was mediocre. However, given this hotel's location, the insufficiencies in food and beverages are easily remedied by a short walk outside. My room (which I shared with my teenage daughter) was above average. It was clean, quiet, spacious enough for a teenage girl, and everything worked well. All staff members were friendly and helpful. I'd stay here again.
Give credit where credit is due
After reading the other reviews I had mixed feelings about staying here but the price was right and the location is excellent. I travel regularly with someone in a wheel chair and can honestly say that this was a very pleasant hotel. Prior to our arrival, I had requested an HC room with two beds. I confirmed this request with the hotel twice before actually arriving. Upon arrival, I was told that all of the HC rooms have king beds and that there are no HC rooms with two beds. To my suprise, one of my confirmation calls to the hotel had been entered into their system and notated on my reservation. After reviewing the notes on my reservation and a minimal amount of negotiation, my reservation was upgraded to a full HC suite with two beds. AT NO ADDITIONAL COST !!!! Room 531. The room was beautiful with a separte seating area, small kitchen area with microwave, sink and mini-fridge and a full balcony overlooking the riverwalk. You really could not see much since the trees blocked the view. On Saturday night, we enjoyed sunset on the balcony listening to the various bands playing at the local restaurants and bars. This room at least is soundproof with the windows and doors shut. The hotel is directly on the Riverwalk. While most of the Riverwalk is very wheelchair freindly, the area directly in front of the hotel is a little difficult. The 50 yards or so of the Riverwalk that flows in front of the hotel has not been redeveloped yet. We were able to manage since my partner can walk some but a true wheelchair bound person would have difficulty negotiating this stretch of the walk as there are stairs and a water fountain that has serated cement blocks as overflow drainage. The restaurant downstairs is a littel pricy but certainly worth a try. We stopped and had dinner before going to the Majestic Theatre for a show. The buffet was fine and is no better or worse than any other large chain continental breakfast. There were some people who were complaining about not having this or that, or they didn't like the this or that but we found it very satisfying. We don't have children but the families that did certainly seemed to take advantage of the breakfasts. No trip is complete without an emergency evacuation. On Saturday night, the emergency alarms starting sounding. The hotel staff were immedaitely on the intercom advising guests to remain calm and that the situation was under control. About 15 minutes later, the hotel was evacuated as a precaution since they could not get the alarm to shut off. It turned out to be a taco dinner burning in the staff break room microwave. As I mentioned, my partner is in a wheel chair most of the time so going down five flights of stairs was a little inconvenient. All the guests were corralled to the church next door while the alarm issue was resolved. With the exception of a few, most everyone left the hotel without problem. The front desk manager went around checking names and room numbers while we waited for the "clear" to be given. 10 minutes later, it was okay to return to the hotel. We were the last to cross the street and happened to catch the manager and complimented her on handing the situation with upmost professionalism. Better to be safe than sorry. We returned to our room without incident and continued with our trip. After travelling for many years with a wheelchair bound person, you come to expect certain things from hotels. I can honestly say that despite the problems, this hotel gets high marks. You don't have to lower your expectations when you stay here. You simply have to realize that this is a chain hotel and is not your kitchen, living room or mansion. There will be some things you like and some things you don't. Overall, we have already made plans to stay here again later this year. Enough said.
Loved everything about it
wow i loved everything about it. i'm writing the review becuz of the negative one. didn't use the parking garage so can't say much about it.
breakfast was good- free and hot. pool on the roof wonderful. beautiful clean and spacious room. hisband and i plan on going back soon. we stayed in may of 2003, not that long ago. right next to everything. ate in the restaurant and drank a beer in the bar . again wow what was not to like except maybe the price! but hey it was definately worth the $.
Won't ever stay here again...
This was not my choice of hotels while attending a conference nearby with a group of ladies from my hometown, and I don't think they'll ever go here again. The parking garage is totally inadequate for the number of guests, no turnaround when you get to the top level, so you have to go down backwards before you can maybe find a space large enough to squeeze into so you can turn around. The breakfast buffet in the lobby was the worst I've ever eaten: powdered eggs, teeny pieces of overbuttered toast, greasy sausage patties, NO FRUIT, a long line to make your own waffles, etc. There were not enough rollaway beds to accommodate all those who pre-requested them so we had to shuffle roommates so no one had to sleep on the floors, not enough bath linens so we had to share (ugh!) We never could locate the remote for the TV, and some of the ladies had tepid water for their baths, not nice and hot. The only good thing was that the bed was more comfortable than most hotels of this class. We were also warned by a desk person not to leave anything in the cars while parked in their garage even tho access to the garage was limited to those with room keys...what does that tell you? When I was loading the car in their loading area after checkout, I noticed the same "homeless" looking woman going into the lobby who I'd seen the day before walking the streets a few blocks away...wearing the same clothes she was wearing the day before and looking as if she was coming inside to help herself to the breakfast buffet. Put this one on your DO NOT STAY HERE list.
I'd stay here again...
We traveled to San Antonio in November 2003. We stayed at the Mansion del Rio which was very nice but much more expensive. Later in the trip we also stayed at the Drury Riverwalk. Much better deal. Lots of great ammenities. I'm headed to San Antonio again for business and will be staying at the Drury Riverwalk.
Terrifkc choice
We went to San Antonio at the end of September, which is considered off-peak, and did not have advance reservations. We loved the Drury Inn on the Riverwalk. The location is great and we had a great view of the Riverwalk from our room. The lobby is large and attractive and the Drury offers the extra amenities that make staying there so pleasant.
The room was clean and tastefully decorated, with a refrigerator and microwave. A big plus was the free high-speed internet access in the room. We also enjoyed the nice breakfast and free drinks and snacks in the afternoon. The customer service was top-notch also. We loved our stay in San Antonio and staying at the Drury Inn was a big part of that. I think it is a very good value for the money.
Cared about customer
We took a quick overnight trip to San Antonio and stayed here. The room was very clean and the location on the riverwalk was great.
Unfortunately on the night we were there some teenagers were screaming so loud outside it disturbed my sleep. They let us check out late and even offered us a $20 gift certificate to Land and Cattle Steak House.
The manager called our room to apologize. I am very big on customer service and I consider them a class act!
Excellent location, roon, serve and rate
Excellent location and service. Its not the cheapest hotel in San Antonio but we felt good value for the rooms, breakfast included(and free snacks/drinks in the evening Mon-Thurs) and location. One of our party had a riverview room which was brilliant, the other a deluxe room(view was pretty bad but we knew there was no view so not dissappointed) with microwave and fridge with complimentary soft drinks and popcorn, which was a nice touch.
Breakfast was adequate and was provide in a nice spot overlooking the river.
Excellent service on reception, we had a toilet not working well which was fixed immediately.
San Antonio great place to visit but still very busy in November.

We remembered the Alamo
We stayed at the Drury Inn and Suites on the San Antonio Riverwalk. Tons of people have told us how awesome the Riverwalk is but this was our first experience! There are so many restaurants and bars! It was hard to choose, but with only two nights I think we did pretty well! The Esquire was our favorite for classic cocktails. The Iron Cactus had …
Shopping ... unsuccessfully
Our only activity today was an attempt to get the suitcases fuller before we head home in three weeks. We went to many stores over 6 hours and didn't get much at all, despite trying on lots of clothes. The day was pretty warm but it got overcast so the day was comfortable despite being in the late 80s. For lunch we had Taco Bell and for dinner we had ...
Underground caves and snake farm
First stop today was a visit to the Nature Bridge caves just out of Schertz. We decided to take both tours into the two separate caves. The two caves sit at constant 72f but with 99% humidity the temperature feels more like 80-85f, so as warm as outside the cave. Both tours were 70 mins in length. The first guy seemed a little bored so wasn't that great but the second guy was good. The first tour was large, ...

This is the name given to the uprisings in Lincolnshire and Yorkshire, in opposition to Henry VIII's reformation of the Church of England, triggered by the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1536 and the break from Rome in 1533. The rising was partly motivated by local discontent about enclosures and started in Louth in October when Thomas Cromwell sent his administrators to collect subsidies. The protest in Yorkshire was much more violent and protracted. It was led by Robert Aske, a Yorkshire gentleman and lawyer, who assembled an army of 30,000 armed men, captured the city of York and obtained the support of Edward Lee, the Archbishop of York. The Yorkshire rising was a huge challenge to Henry's authority but was quelled by …

As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
Quadruple Helices Appear To Have Role...
LC-MS Gains Favor Due To the...
Process Development Jobs Still the Most...
Clavis Pharma raised €19 million in a private placement with new and existing investors. The funds will be used to continue development of the firm's clinical-stage candidates as well as progress another drug into clinical development and continue development of companion diagnostics for the hENT1 biomarker in hematological and solid cancers.
Clavis Pharma is developing a pipeline of drugs based on its lipid vector technology (LVT). The platform involves the chemical linking of lipid vectors to a parent drug to generate a new chemical entity (NCE). The ultimate aim is to develop drugs that are effective in patients whose disease would otherwise be refractive to the original parent therapeutic.
Lead candidate elacytarabine is in Phase III development for the treatment of advanced acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Randomized data from the Phase III Clavela study is expected in mid-2012, after which Clavis may be in a position to prepare for filing and commercilization. Elacytarabine is a lipid-conjugated derivative of cytarabine, which is designed to improve the efficacy of cytarabine therapy by enabling the drug to enter cancer cells without requiring uptake by the reporter protein human equilibrative nucleoside transporter 1 (hENT1).
A second clinical-stage candidate, CP-4126, is in Phase II evaluation against pancreatic cancer. Data from this trial is also expected in mid-2012. CP-4126 is in development in partnership with Clovis Oncology, and is designed to improve the therapeutic profile of gemcitabine by allowing the anticancer drug to bypass cellular uptake mechanisms requiring the hENT1 molecule.
Clavis and Clovis signed their CP-4126 development and commercialization deal in November 2009. The original agreement covered development of the drug against pancreatic and other solid tumors, in North and South America and Europe. Just last week the firms expanded the agreement to give Clovis worldwide rights to CP-4126. Under the terms of the new agreement Clavis will receive an up-front cash payment of $10 million, and will be eligible to receive further payments of $30 million on the successful attainment of development and regulatory milestones in Asia, and up to $165 million in sales milestones. Clovis has responsibility for the commercialization of CP-4126 globally, and Clavis retains an option to co-promote the drug in Europe.

Roads less traveled
Brunching at the Roanoke last weekend, we watched a pair of bikers zip themselves into their padded jump-suits for "ridin' down the highway."
"Where you off to?" I asked.
"Not sure," said the girl. We looked to the guy.
"Wherever the road takes us," he said.
"Toward the water or the mountains?" I pushed on.
"Guess we'll head that way," he said, pointing east.
K.T. Tunstall's song lyrics from "Beauty of Uncertainty" came to mind — "no sense in traveling if we've already been that way."
Same place in my mind where some Mercer Island crossroads are parked: PEAK, Tent City, the coming "narrowing" of Island Crest Way at 44th, a yet-to-be-found superintendent of our schools, to name just a few of our open roads ahead.
Mission accomplished — Martha Bacon, an Island resident of many years, is one road-weary traveler who recently moved to Greensboro, S.C., in a car with four cats. Word is that she arrived safely without incident and all five of them are nicely settled in their new digs.
Gridlock Rx: Metro-King County Councilman Reagan Dunn, chair of regional transportation and transit committees, painted a grim picture for Rotarians last week of future rush hours on the Eastside without attention to better roads and transit. The lawyer who also has served the national effort to reduce gun violence, terrorism and violent crime, got his law degree at the University of Washington and is the son of the former U.S. Congresswoman Jennifer Blackburn Dunn, who died Sept. 5.
He says another 1 million people are projected to join the region in the next 20 years, and presently, we're driving on roads built for a population of 20 years ago. He added that "the I-520 bridge has been beaten by high winds and increased traffic to the point of becoming unsafe." In a recent inspection, he noted the concrete is "taking on water." Scary words to Islanders who experienced the sinking of a bridge whose pontoons did just that in 1990.
The two-part proposition for three counties on the Nov. 6 ballot includes $10.8 billion for 50 new miles of light rail — which would cross Mercer Island — and $7 billion to expand the I-520 bridge from four lanes to six, improve I-405 and I-167, among other projects. Funds would come from a .6 percent increase in sales tax and user fees, including an estimated $3 toll to cross the new bridge. Approximate annual cost per household would be $200-300, depending on how many cars you own.
When N.W. Yeshiva High School relocated from Seattle to Mercer Island in 1992, it had less than 50 students. This fall — its 15th year here — it enrolled 95. Its students are a select number who chose a private preparatory education based on principles direct from the Talmud. Its motto: "From Einstein to Maimonides" (a Jewish philosopher of the middle ages), connotes classic learning with Jewish perspectives.
You no longer see its sign on the east side of Island Crest Way (just before the final curve to Island Park Elementary), as it was vandalized last winter and, according to headmaster Rabbi Bernie Fox, it won't be replaced on that side of the school.
However, you will know the students when they compete in basketball. They're the young men wearing yarmulkes as they play their hearts out against teams in the Sea-Tac B League, such as Evergreen Lutheran and Rainier Christian schools.
Traveling memorial at Mercerdale: What a dramatic statement in Mercerdale Park, Sept. 16 — grave markers for 2,900 of our U.S. soldiers who have died in the Iraq war. There wasn't space enough for the other 1,000 casualties, the total approaching 3,900. Veterans for Peace sponsored the "Arlington Northwest" display, a traveling memorial to our fallen men and women.
Caught in historical moment: Hu Riley, the WWII vet who landed on Omaha Beach in Normandy on June 4, 1944 and subject of the famous D-Day Landing photograph by Robert Capa, only has revisited the battle scene on the 50th anniversary of D-Day in 1994. Now, Hu and his wife, Charlotte, will view it again at the opening today of "This is War! Robert Capa at Work," an exhibit at the International Center of Photography in New York. Capa, known as a pioneer in photojournalism, replays the Battle of Normandy with brutal realism via unpolished lens. See it at www.time.com/time/photogallery/0,29307,1648361_1419267,00.html Not incidentally, the Rileys still live in the house on North Mercer Way where Hu was born more than eight decades ago. "Lotta water under the bridge," he jests.
Okay, Farmers New World Life Insurance Agency employees: we've noticed groups of you wearing your nametags on walking regimes through Mercerdale and downtown. Is there a health initiative "afoot" or are you just "walking the talk" to improve health and live your company brand?

To celebrate their return to Milan's internationally renowned Salone Del Mobile in 2013 COS asked us to conceptualise, art direct, and manage the delivery of a pop-up concept store installation for 40 hand-selected COS garments. Located in the vibrant Ventura Lambrate district we wanted the installation to be a 'comma' to frantic city life in Milan. The approach was to mirror the COS design ethos through contrasting tactile materials constructed in a simple, functional and visually lightweight way to create a breathing space for visitors to the furniture fair. Commissioning French creatives Morgan Maccari and Rémy Clémente of Bonsoir Paris to design the installation, we briefed the duo to create a modular installation so that COS can construct it again in any shape and size format in the future, adhering to the brands 'timeless' value. Their reaction to the COS brand and our creative direction led them to "push the visitor's curiosity and surprise them, playful whilst still minimal." We chose to tell the story of the installation in Milan by commissioning filmmaker Andrew Telling and photographer Owen Richards.

Posted on April 5, 2013 in Miscellaneous Pro Tennis Talk
Davis Cup kicks off some exciting rubbers in the Quarterfinal Rounds for the World Group today.
Led by Jim Courier, Team USA begins play today on home soil this round on an indoor court in Boise, Idaho and will take on Serbia. Having met just one time before, Team USA comes up against the only World Team to have the highest ranked player on the ATP on their active roster, number one in the world, Novak Djokovic. Djokovic teams up with Viktor Troicki, Ilija Bozoljac, and Nenad Zimonjic to take on our team of Sam Querrey, John Isner, and The Bryan Brothers. Despite having powerhouse Nole on their team (who has proven to be human over the past couple months and has taken a loss or two), I am hoping to see the US take full advantage of the crisp, clean (and high altitude) Boise air and use the home court advantage to pull off the upset over Serbia.
Canada celebrates their first time into the quarterfinals of Davis Cup having beaten Spain in the previous round. They will be hosting Italy this weekend indoors in Vancouver. Milos Raonic leads Team Canada into the first meeting against Italy with a solid team behind him composed of Vasek Pospisl, Frank Danvevic, and doubles great Daniel Nestor taking on Andreas Seppi, Fabio Fognini, Paolo Lorenzi and Simone Bolelli. I think this will be a great matchup, but I am hoping for a Canadian victory and have really been enjoying Raonic lately, his game is starting to mature and it will be good to see how he leads the team on their home court.
Argentina will host France in Argentina on the red clay. Missing their top player, Juan Martin Del Potro, Team Argentina is composed of clay court specialists Juan Monaco, Horacio Zeballos, Carlos Berlocq, and David Nalbandian to take on what could be the most solid throughout team from France, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, Richard Gasquet, Julien Benneteau, and Michael Llodra. This will be the sixth meeting between the two countries with France having won the previous five meetings and with a team as solid as they have going to Argentina, they will be tough to beat this time around. France is making sure to not assume they are going to take this matchup easily and no doubt it should be competitive.
And the least dramatic quarter in this round features Kazakhstan, who will have the home court advantage, while hosting the Czech Republic on indoor, red clay. Noticably absent from the Czech Republic's lineup is Tomas Berdych, but representing is Radek Stepanek, Lukas Rosol, Jan Hajek, and Ivo Minar who will face off against Kazakhstan, who is the only team left in the World Group with not a single player in the top 150 on the ATP. Their team lineup is composed of Mikhail Kukushkin, Evgeny Korolev, Andrey Golubex, and Yuriy Schukin. The one and only time these two countries have met was in 2011 where Kazakhstan forced the upset. I wouldn't count Kazakhstan out of this matchup, but only time will tell. Currently, the Czech Republic has taken a 2-0 lead over Kazakhstan.
Enjoy the tennis and Go Team USA!

Following the news that Japan's SoftBank had received FCC approval to move forward with its acquisition of Sprint Nextel (NYSE: S ) , Standard & Poor's has lowered its long-term corporate credit and senior unsecured debt rating of SoftBank two spots, from BBB to BB+, the credit rating service announced today.
The new, lower debt rating assumes SoftBank's $21.6 billion acquisition of Sprint will be completed later this month, S&P said, and reflects a "significant financial risk profile following the merger." SoftBank's increased debt used to finance the Sprint acquisition and Sprint's "weak cash flow generation, and high debt ratios," were both cited by S&P as financial concerns for SoftBank.
In contrast to SoftBank's rating decline, S&P noted it has a "stable" outlook for the Japanese wireless provider, expecting that "Softbank's domestic mobile and other businesses will likely grow steadily and that Sprint Nextel's operating performance will likely improve gradually, in part reflecting cost reductions and other benefits of the merger."
Additionally, S&P said it is removing debt ratings for SoftBank's four, domestic bond issuances "at the company's request."

For seven years, Philadelphia's bail commissioners have been required to automatically release many suspects without bail to prevent excessive prison
"You can sign your own bond," the commissioners said to thousands of men and women accused of such crimes as car theft, burglary, robberies committed without weapons, and possessing or dealing less than 50 pounds of marijuana, 50 grams of heroin, 50 grams of cocaine or 10 grams of crack.
Some suspects were handed pieces of paper noting their court dates and told to show up for their hearings and trials. Others were released after spending a few days or weeks in jail, with similar instructions to come to court.

ELKINS — Officials say renovations to the Taco Bell restaurant in Elkins should be completed soon and the business will reopen in weeks....

A Georgia woman ran a brothel disguised as a Logan Township spa and had Asian women brought in from around the country to work the illicit business, the FBI has charged after a multi-year investigation with Pennsylvania state police.
Yon "Coco" Park, 59, of Suwanee, Ga., remains free on $10,000 unsecured bond after her arrest Sept. 28 after a state and federal raid on the Sunset Health Spa, 3307 Pleasant Valley Blvd.
The FBI alleged Park and her husband, Steven Park, also known as Byong Park, owned the spa where sexual favors where bought and sold under the premise of massages, according to court documents. Coco Park lived at the spa and ran the business while Steven Park stayed in Georgia, according to the FBI.
Using three confidential informants, including a man who for about seven years ran errands for the Parks, tasks that involved going to the bank and post office and driving women to and from the spa from airports, train stations and other states, according to charges filed in U.S. District Court in Johnstown.
The informant, who started as a customer before running errands for cash and then working for the government, also supplied Coco Park with fresh condoms and held used condoms, often hidden in empty drink boxes, for Steve Park, as well as white envelopes containing business records.
Another confidential informant, the FBI noted in a 26-page affidavit, paid for sexual favors at the business. State police began the investigation in 2009, records indicate, and ultimately the FBI and the Internal Revenue Service became involved.
Asian women with nicknames such as Lucky, Mindy and Sunny, rotated in and out of the brothel, which always had at least two women working and living there at all times, every few months, according to the FBI. Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, New York, Washington and Maryland were some of the states from where women came to the spa to work as prostitutes, according to court documents.
In March 2009, Coco Park was diagnosed with cancer and sought treatment in Korea off-and-on during the next three years, the investigation showed. In her absence, other women allegedly stepped in to manage the spa, and the FBI noted nearly weekly bank deposits between $2,000 and $4,000 for the business, as well as money orders and wire transfers.
The investigation also included surveillance, including recorded conversations that included one of the women, "Mindy," complaining that "Lucky," who was running the spa in Coco Park's absence, wouldn't let her leave, "even though everyone knew that the spa was nothing more than a whorehouse," FBI Special Agent Arnold Bernard wrote in the affidavit.
Steven Park, who has not been charged, would allegedly drive to Altoona periodically to collect the white envelopes holding the financial records as well as the used condoms.
Armed with a search warrant, FBI agents and troopers from the state police's Organized Crime Task Force descended on the spa, located in a small strip mall, on Sept. 28 and found a naked "john" in the midst of a sexual act with a spa employee, Sun Young Park, 44.
According to state charges filed in Blair County, the unnamed "john" allegedly told police he paid $100 to Sun Park for her to perform oral sex on him, and according to state police, the money, as well as a tally sheet indicating the time the man arrived, were found in spa's office.
Sun Park, who remains in Blair County Prison in lieu of $10,000 cash bail, faces one count of prostitution and is due to appear for a preliminary hearing on Thursday before Magisterial District Judge Steven D. Jackson.
Coco Park, a Korean who has lived in the U.S. for 35 years according to her attorney, is charged with one count transporting a person across state lines to engage in prostitution, a charge her attorney said she'll fight.
"We're pleading not guilty," said Park's attorney, Thomas M. Dickey, who said his firm was looking at the evidence against Park and communicating with the U.S. Attorney's Office. Dickey said he'll be asking for Coco Park's next court date on Oct. 22 in Johnstown to be pushed back.
The spa is temporarily closed, Dickey said.

Vol 71 Issue 3 2004-01-19 Article 12045 from section "News"
Customers in Australia, the U.K. and China Join the Ranks of Linux Users
With new partners in Australia, the U.K. and China, Sun Microsystems
continues to consolidate its support for the growing Linux server
market, for which it has designed the increasingly popular Sun Fire[TM]
V60x and Sun Fire[TM] V65x Linux-based servers.
Sun has just demonstrated its Sun Java[TM] Desktop System to the
Australian Linux community, offering users a more affordable and secure
desktop than Windows that nevertheless functions capably in a
Windows-centric world. The open source components of the system provide
a fully integrated client environment that includes a GNOME desktop
environment, the StarOffice[TM] Office Productivity Suite, a Mozilla[TM]
browser, Evolution mail and calendar solutions, the Java[TM] 2 Platform,
Standard Edition (J2SE[TM]) and a Linux operating system.
The five-year agreement Sun has signed with the U.K. Office of
Government Commerce opens up new avenues for public sector organizations
to realize substantial savings in the purchase of desktop and enterprise
software, as well as in the outlay for licensing agreements that extend
to the Sun Java Desktop System and the Sun Java[TM] Enterprise System.
A deal Sun has arranged with the China Standard Software Co. Ltd., a
government-backed software consortium, will enable the Chinese entity to
deliver desktop products bearing its brand -- subject to U.S. export
approval -- that use the Sun Java Desktop System.

doubly linked list trouble
Hey guys sorry for the long extensive code but i am having some trouble with a delete function. It seems that when i delete a node in the middle its loosing the tail so its loosing the nodes which are underneath it.
Im positive that it has nothing to do with my Delete funtion however i am very suspicious that i may not be loading the linked list properly in this function which is causing it. I cant find anything wrong when its inserting in between the list but i just want to make sure? Its suppose to work as a doubly linked list implementation
current = menu->headCategory;
Re: doubly linked list trouble
You have posted this in the articles section of C-C++ and its been quite some time you have been here and so you should not be making the same mistakes over and over again.
Re: doubly linked list trouble
I would recommend that you include the prototype for the function, any initialization that takes place in the function, the code for the structure, the statement that calls the function, and the definitions for the variables that serve as arguments in the call. That could prevent a lot of potentially wrong guesses. Help your respondents to help you by including relevant information. If I have to use my crystal ball, I charge more.
Re: doubly linked list trouble
I told you in the above response what you should provide if you want more help. Rather than do that, you have just replicated your insufficient post. I assure you that I can build a working doubly-linked list. I can also assure you that I'm not going to write your code for you, or guess at what unseen things you are doing.
Re: doubly linked list trouble
Re: doubly linked list trouble
Dude, what are you doing with these statements.
submenuPrevious = submenuCurrent;
submenuCurrent->prevItem = submenuPrevious;
submenuCurrent = submenuCurrent->nextItem;
The second statement makes the previous ptr on the current node point to itself. there is also some logic missing in inserting at the head.
I guess, in the while loop you are trying to find the position, to insert your submenu node. Then why are you altering the previous pointer of the node..

Thanks for reply.
But it is not enough... Since there is a matter of ddlwrap stuff, and

I may alter the build process if no one has done it yet and submit a patch.

Historical Traveler Reviews The Westin Resort & Spa Cancun
Beware of the sharks
My husband and I just returned from our stay at the Westin (November 26th through December 1st). Here are my thoughts:
PROS (Distance form Airport): Lovely hotel located only about 15 minutes from the airport.
CONS (Distance from Airport): If you take a shuttle or book transportation through a travel company (we took Lomas Travel), you will wait and wait and wait and wait until the shuttle fills with people. We knew the Westin was only 15 minutes from the airport (we were excited to get in the shuttle and get moving!) However, after waiting about 30 minutes in the parked empty shuttle, we complained until they sent us in a van with a different travel company.
PROS (Check-In): Wonderful greeting at front desk during check-in. In addition, check-in was friendly and fairly quick!
CONS (Check-In): The minute you get your room key (I was forewarned of this before hand) they will tell you your room will "be ready in 10 minutes". This allows the first of the "timeshare sharks" to swarm on top of you. (the timeshare sharks are also the same as the Concierge...so DO NOT ask the Concierge any questions or they will hound you for timeshares as well!) My husband and I were very tired from our long journey (we left our home at 3:30 a.m. and arrived at the Westin around 2 p.m.) yet we were confronted immediately by one of the hotel "welcome staff". He tried to convince us to meet for a "welcome reception" at 4:00...we refused, knowing this was a time-share ploy. Then he tried to get us to sign up for all kinds of sightseeing, jet-skiing, snorkeling tours. We also refused this, knowing we could find cheaper tours outside of our hotel. After about 10 minutes, we kindly interrupted his rehearsed speech and said we were going to our room. We also kindly explained that we were very tired and wanted an uninterrupted, quiet vacation. We told him we were NOT interested in any timeshare program, that we did NOT want to go on any tours, and that we simply wanted to enjoy our vacation. We shook hands and parted ways.
PROS (The Rooms): Ahhhh! The Heavenly Bed. I don't think it was so much as the bed itself that was heavenly, but more-so the pillows! Five feather pillows on each bed! Immediately we collapsed onto this cloud of splendor! We had reservations for a King Bed, but when we entered our room we had two doubles. No biggie....we were too tired to even complain. The rooms were the average size expected for any hotel. Crisp blue tiles covered the floor, higlighting the bright white feather comforters that were draped on the beds. Our ocean-view room perfectly showed off the beach with its' scattered palm trees and aqua blue ocean. We did not have a balcony, but the window did slide open, so we let the sound of the crashing waves lull us off into a quick afternoon nap. (YES...THAT is how tired we were! Too tired to even get on our bathing suits and sleep on the beach!)
CONS (The Rooms): The rooms were decent as I have stated above, and the batrooms were just as nice in my opinion, especially the tub and seperate walk-in shower. The WORST part of the room? It has a telephone in it! You might not consider this so bad, but for us it was. We had already told the timeshare staff that we DID NOT want to attend the welcome reception at 4:00 (since we knew it was a timeshare ploy). Well, no sooner did we fall asleep until the phone started ringing. It rang at 4:03, then at 4:16, then at 4:24 until finally we unplugged it. When we plugged it back in before we went out for the night, we saw the message light blinking. Yep, you guessed it! It was the good ol' timeshare sharks wondering why we weren't at the welcome reception! (The same reception we told them we DID NOT want to go to!) Slightly annoyed, we decided not to storm the front desk, unplugged the phone once more and went out to drink instead! (And boy did we DRINK!)
PROS (Mornings): The sun was shining bright each morning! I was down at the pool each day by 9:00 a.m., and the sun was warm, the water was cool, and the guests were wonderful! They have pools and both the ocean side and the lagoon side of the hotel, and many chairs for everyone!
CONS (Mornings): Our biggest "CON" came after a heavy night of drinking...we woke up around 8:45 a.m., rolled out of bed, and had a slight headache. We joked about the timeshare sharks from the night prior, and figured we'd plug the phone back in so the maid wouldn't tell on us. And guess what happened when we plugged it back in? Yep! You guessed it! Another message light! And when did they call? 7:30 IN THE MORNING!!!!! We were SO happy we left the phone unplugged, because if we would have been so rudely woken from our sleep, we very well may have switched hotels! They left yet another message wondering why we hadn't returned their previous messages....Hmmm are we on vacation, or are we being stalked?
PROS & CONS: (The Beach) I figured I'd list the pros and cons of the beach together, since some people like certain aspects of the beach while others may not. The beach in front of the hotel is relatively small...there isn't a whole lot of "beach area". When I say there is not a lot of beach area, don't get too concerned! Yes, there is room to run and play and sit and lounge, but overall the area is not huge. However, the beach is very private and no other people other than the hotel guests are on it. The bar staff do come out on the beach to serve drinks, and no need to worry about money, they just charge it to your room! As for the water, the waves are rather rough, since this beach is the furthest south in Cancun. But again, because this hotel is so secluded from other hotels, the beach is very private, very peaceful, and has amazing views!
PROS (Location): The best part of the Westin's location is the short ride to the airport (unless you get shoved on a shuttle that doesn't move for 30 minutes waiting to fill up with people!) TAKE A CAB! Anyway, it really is nice to be so close to the airport. When my husband and I left, we took a cab (there is always one available on site!) and we got to the airport in about 8 minutes (the cab drivers are maniacs down there!)
CONS (Location): Although we did enjoy the secluded location of our hotel, it made it a little more difficult to enjoy Cancun's nightlife. We took the bus each time (there is a bus stop a little bit down the road from the hotel). It only costs 6 pesos (around 60 cents US), and takes you all the way up the "strip" of Cancun. It takes about 20 minutes to get to the really "fun" part of Cancun. The buses are very safe and we never seemed to mind the ride until it was time to come home....we drank a bit too much each night and it made the drive home seem like forever. If you really are looking for a lot to do at night, you HAVE to take the bus....there is NOTHING within walking distance of the hotel.
PROS (Staff): The hotel staff, housekeeping crew, bartenders, etc were ALL fantastic! Every single person associated with this hotel (other than the timeshare people and conceirge) were overly friendly and kind and generous and polite! There are activities to do outside by the pool, exercise classes, outdoor massages, and even a tour company outside by the pool to arrange tours, jetski-adventures, whatever! (These are the guys to go in order to book a tour! They are nice and friendly, unlike the sharks inside the hotel!)
CONS (Staff): Do I really need to say it again? Yep! Those darn timeshare folks. On our second morning, we were at the front desk waiting to change some American dollars into pesos, and the conceirge came up to us, addressed us by name (we had NO IDEA how they knew who we were since we never spoke to her before!) and asked us why we haven't returned their calls. I explained that we did not want a timeshare....immediately she asked if we wanted to go on any tours. When she finally realized that we did not want to be bothered by them any longer, she walked away in a huff and we were ignored the rest of our stay....finally! All we ever wanted was to be left alone, so if that means being ignored, we were o.k. with that!
All in all it was a pleasant vacation, but do not let the name Westin Regina fool you. Most Westins are very nice and are indeed worthy of their 5 star rating, but not this hotel. Don't get me wrong, it was clean and had other decent amenities, but when we took a peek at some of the other Cancun hotels such as the Marriot, Hyatt, and Sheraton, those hotels made the Westin look like a 2 star hotel. I think the Westin is just a lot older than the other hotels, and cannot compare to the greatness of the other big name hotels. Would I visit Cancun again? Of course! Would I stay at the Westin Regina again? No....
The J.W. Marriot looked too good to pass up....
Had a wonderful vacation
Three of us went to Cancun November 8th through the 13th and had a wonderful vacation. We went all inclusive at the Westin Regina and have no regrets at all. The Westin is down on the Southern most tip of the island and just a short 5 minute walk to the Palancar Reef. The hotel was tastefully decorated, very comfortable and the staff extremely helpful and courteous. I believe we had the best view to be found on the island from our balcony. One direction was the reef and the other you could see the entire hotel zone which was beautiful lit at night. The all inclusive food enabled us to eat from the various buffets during the morning and evening. or order off the menu at the various restaurants. Though it didn't include room service we did order take out one night and just took the food to our room with us. They had a wide variety that offered something for every taste. The all inclusive drinks we great too whether drinking at the bar or at dinner or under a Palapa on the beach. The hotel has several pools all over the property so there is never one more than a few steps from anywhere you might be. They offered reasonable discounts on various toura and we decided upon Xcaret. If you go to Xcaret, skip the 90 minute tour in the morning and just go out on your own. Or better yet just go for the evening and enjoy the wonderful night shows. We had the vacation of a lifetime and I would not hesitate again to go back to the Westin. It's a little secluded, but we enjoyed that. It's easy to get anywhere in town or on the zone by bus for 6 pesos or .60 cents U.S.. The best snorkeling I've found anywhere is only a short walk away. Huge brain coral, fan coral, stag horn etc. We saw large sting rays, a wonderful variety of the most beautifully colorful fish and even a baracuda or two. We spent one full day just snorkeling there and enjoyed every minute of it. I will go back and I will stay at the Westin again. I have read some of the previous less flattering reviews and wondered what I wa
who went with me agree, the Westin does it right. If you have any questions I would be happy to respond so e-mail me if you are thinking about the Westin in the future.
I had a wonderful time, I stayed at the Westin Regina Sept 28th- Oct. 8th! It was great! I met a lot of new people, made a lot of friends, and the resort had something to do everyday! It was great. Daniel and Adrean were two of the workers who worked in the athletic depratment, the did an excellent job! Activities all day....from water vollyball to bingo! it was great, I am definately going back.....in fact I am goin back very soon! :) in one month! :) I would reccomend this place! It was a great time!
Heavenly Hotel
We arrived early in the day and were greeted by extremely curteous help. From the very start of checking in until we left we had smiles on our faces. Georgeous room, the whole complex was extremly clean. Food was so good we didn't have to go anywhere else to eat. Beautiful beach -
just all out enjoyable vacation. Go back? Absolutely.
Westin Regina Resort Cancun
This is an Ok resort if obtained at a good price. It's a good base for doing the daily tours due to its location at the southern end of the hotel zone. It's also possible to snorkel from the hotel, which can't be said of other hotels in the hotel zone. I had requested one of the lower rooms and it was fantastic, extremely large. Nice spot to walk right out and suntan. The beach is - well there is no beach worth mentioning. Everything is expensive, so we caught the bus for meals and entertainment. They will try to hound you with the timeshare crap - I managed to avoid 'em. It's a long way from anything, so that should be considered. I would only stay here again if the price were such that I couldn't afford not to. Below average.
Westin Cancun: Home of the Gouge
We just returned from a stay at the Westin Cancun Sep 4-10, 2002. This hotel is full of contradictions. The wait staff and bartenders are excellent, polite, and very knowledgeable. The desk staff; and in particular the concierges, are worthless. While the waiters are polite and know all about customer service, the desk staff is rude and doesn't want to assist you with any problems you may encounter. Further, the concierges are only out to get you to sign into a timeshare agreement. If you are firm with them and say no right off, they have no use for you and treat you as such for the rest of your stay.
Many amenities can be found at the hotel. Beware of the snorkel gear rentals. Not only are they overpriced, but if you elect to turn them in early, you will lose your money for good! We rented gear for six days, but decided to turn the equipment in one day early due to rough seas. Since the owners of the rental place had already charged our credit card the full amount (in advance!), they claimed they could not refund us our money for the unused day. Further, they would not issue a credit to our card. A poor business practice, and a very poor reflection on the Westin hotel chain.
Finally, the prices...OUTRAGEOUS! The Westin gouges you like no other hotel I have ever stayed at. From mini bar charges like $4 US for Gatorade, to $30 breakfasts and a daily parking fee for rental cars. Who ever heard of charging to park at your own hotel?
All in all, I have such a low opinion of the management at the Cancun Westin that I will never return. I hope this review will serve as a warning to any others considering a Westin stay. LOOK ELSEWHERE!!!
When we arrived it was 11:30pm and our room was small and smelled. After upgrading to the 6th floor we had a beautiful view of the ocean. The housekeeping staff was very unfriendly and the bathrooms are not very clean. The towels are dingy and the bathtub did not work. The rooms are small and have double beds. The 6th floor includes breakfast and happy hour and Marcel is just a delight. He was very helpful with the many problems we encountered at the hotel. I don't think we would stay here again.
Pro's and Con's
The Westin was overall a decent hotel. My husband and I got a great deal on Expedia (airfare and hotel) so I can't complain; however, if I had paid the going rate for this hotel ($160 and up) I would probably have been ticked. To sum it up, the Westin:
1. is a clean hotel
2. has a nice beach/pool
3. has friendly staff
4. does not bombard you with timeshare presentations
5. has a comfortable bed & spacious room
6. is a good distance away from the party zone (but easy to get to as well via the bus)
7. needs to be updated - is a little run down compared to the fancier, newer hotels
8. is convienent to the airport ($15 ride)
9. has pricy food/drinks
10. has decent ammenities - tennis/gym/etc.
We can't really comment on the food as we never ate there. We went out every night to explore new restaurants. One tip, take the bus to the grocery store in town and stock up on snacks/drinks. They didn't mind that we brought our own beverages to the pool/beach (and we were quite blantent about it too.) NOTE: The sodas in the mini-bar are about $3.00, at the grocery store you can buy a 6-pack for that price.
Definitely explore places outside the Westin. Take a bus to Tulum, Xel-Ha (my favorite), to the ferry to go to Cozumel for the day, etc. There is so much to do and see outside of Cancun.
Be prepared to be hasseled at all the markets - they like to bargin and push items on you.
Take advantage of the coupon books you're given at the airport, they can save you up to 40% off of food/trips.
July is really hot, the water is amazing, and the beaches are beautiful. I didn't think the water was rough as others have mentioned.
We visited Cancun from June 19-22. We'll definitely go back to the Westin Regina. We had an all-inclusive deal and we're surprised to find that the food was excellent in all of their restaurants such as El Palmar and Las Arrecifes. At the latter, you can pay $12 extra and have a five-course meal! Service was impeccable. I loved the location. It was on the southern most tip of Cancun so you didn't have a large "partying" crowd. Don't get me wrong, we're 27 and really enjoyed the open bar but the Westin regina had a mature feel. Caspar, the bartender at Sunrise Bar was great. WE hope he'll be there in a year. Rooms we're up to our high standards and the beds really are heavenly. Building design is very modern and cool and of course, the beach is beautiful. Only bad thing is that we wanted an outdoor hot tub and they only have one indoors at the gym. We'll see them in one year!
I'd return
I really liked the accomodations at this hotel. They were very friendly, and the bed as advertised "the heavenly bed" was very nice and comfortable (down comforters and pillows). The hotel restaurants were OK, room service was good. Hotel itself very comfortable. The only think I didn't like was when I was approached by the time sharing offers. They were very persistent and I wasn't there to buy anything, simply to relax. They also have sweat baths for a small fee, it was really great because I wasn't sore after a whole day of snorkeling at Xcaret. I would return.

42. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
like it or not, Apple dominates the tablet market. They were first to market by months and have a huge head start. Motorola botched the launch of the Xoom which should have been the first real competitor so now we wait on Samsung to correct that. And as fiercely competative as theyve been with apple, they will probably do it right.
49. NeXoS (Posts: 288; Member since: 03 May 2011)
Apple had a huge head start on the multi-touch smartphone market and look at them SINKING today!
NPD reports that iPhone market share is dropping to 15% this year, google it!
Then, they will drop to reflect the same share of their PC market...down to 5%.
But, sites like this one, run by Apple, will gloss over this fact (why wasn't it reported here??) so they can sell you their $350 shares before it tanks back down to $85.

maybe so but for a phone thats a year old its still selling good, how many year old android phones are even still getting updates or being sold??
62. @cheetah2k (unregistered)
You have to remember that. . .
1. Windows tablets are not counted as "tablets" usually. Because the "do more" they are counted as PCs.
2. The Nook Color, the most popular "tablet" in North America, is also not counted in this "ipad-like tablet" category. . .
It's kind of like say the iPod has a dominant market share. Sure, it does for a specifically defined category because most normal people use multi-functional devices to play music--50+% of cellphone users user their phone to play music as their main portable "mp3 player". . . not an mp3/pmp/ipod => over 500M/year but that 40-80M iPods/year is the "market leader."
65. Lucas777 (Posts: 2137; Member since: 06 Jan 2011)
no the nook color is counted in this... in many surveys it is shown to have just a little less share than the galaxy tab

When it comes to os and design, the ipad wins for sure.
9. christianqwerty (Posts: 467; Member since: 05 May 2011)
the reason why is because the name "apple" people trust it. My grandparents are interested in buying an ipad, i tried showing them a galxay tab, and a xoom, but they were too confused by everything, they said they like the ipad better. You have to admit, its alot simpler. but id rather have the Xoom >_>
10. JeffdaBeat (unregistered)
The reason why is because the draw towards tablets only exploded a year ago because Apple, again, made it simpler and easier to use. It was the same reasons the iPhone has been so popular with consumers. Of course, that will start to even out, much like smartphones, once other companies start getting more competitive with pricing, but for now, the tablet explosion is only a year old.
13. tuminatr (Posts: 773; Member since: 23 Feb 2009)
so less is more, dumb it down and people will buy it. the scary truth is you are correct most people are morons
31. JeffdaBeat (unregistered)
Well yeah...the vast majority of people aren't nerds and are actually scared off by how advanced technology has come in the past 15 years. My mom, who spent most of her life not using computers can use an iPhone or iPad because it is easier to use. Nothing wrong with ease of use...
38. Rich (unregistered)
the reason the iphone has been so popular with consumers is that apple has become so trendy. you arent cool unless you have an iphone. and if you ask anyone that knows nothing of the topic "whats the best phone?" they will say iphone bc the media portrays it that way bc apple is glorified. no reason beyond this. so dont try to make one up.
57. luis_lopez_351 (Posts: 951; Member since: 18 Nov 2010)
so the iphone is not a smart phone??? xD jk jk it is but a terrible one.
12. Sniggly (Posts: 7305; Member since: 05 Dec 2009)
*pokes my head in* Oh hai. The XOOM now holds 2 percent of the market? After only 7 or so weeks of sales? And with everyone bitching about how it's overpriced?
I think its sales are gaining momentum now that it's being sold in more outlets and now that there's a Wifi only version available. It may never be a raging success (though I'm still crossing my fingers for a sleeper hit) but I'm sure Moto and others will put out other, better tablets soon.
15. Lucas777 (Posts: 2137; Member since: 06 Jan 2011)
oh hmmm... well if i remember right i think the ipad controlled like 70% of the market after two months, but hey you know, that xoom definately has a great chance..
18. cheetah2k (Posts: 1573; Member since: 16 Jan 2011)
Isn't that because there was no competition at the time???
All of this research is such a FAIL
33. iwebdroidberry7 (Posts: 230; Member since: 17 Jan 2011)
No competition? What was the Galaxy Tab?
22. Sniggly (Posts: 7305; Member since: 05 Dec 2009)
Yeah, because no one was really doing anything with the tablet market when the original iPad launched. And even with the Xoom's marketing sucking a fat one, it's managed to claw its way past market expectations. And now that its marketing seems to have picked up I would like to see it do better.
It's a great product and deserves to sell, Lucas. Why you be trippin'?
52. taco50 (banned) (Posts: 5506; Member since: 08 Oct 2009)
Sniggly you consider 2% market share a success? The Xoom is getting beat by the galaxy tab which isn't even a real tablet. It's basically a large smartphone. The problem with your posts is your so damn biast you won't ever admit any downfalls of android or any of Apple successes. If you prefer it fine, but 2% is a big fail
61. Sniggly (Posts: 7305; Member since: 05 Dec 2009)
I consider beating analysts' estimates on initial shipments, with mitigating factors like I've already described, by 150 percent, (Analysts predicted 100,000, the actual number was about 250,000) to be pretty damned good. Obviously not where they wanted to be, but considering all of the bullshit (Best Buy's lackluster support, contract requirements for the lower price on the 3G model, Flash and SD support missing at first) and the rhetoric ("IT'S SO HIGH PRICED!" "IT'S AN UNFINISHED PRODUCT!" "IPAD IPAD IPAD!") I don't consider its current (and rising) sales figures to be an absolute failure by any stretch. If anything, the Xoom showed that a quality competitor to the iPad could be made, just like the G1 and the original Droid did to the iPhone.
Now, while you're calling the kettle black, let me explain why you're the pot. Every single time there's some kind of hiccup or some kind of report on Apple's sales success, you come in chirping "Crushing defeat! Crushing defeat!" You downplay bullshit like Antennagate, the tracking "bug," and other stupid things Apple does. You act like sales figures equal quality, and you never, ever give one concession of quality or effort from Android's part.
The iPhone is a phone. It's a good phone. But it's not the only good phone out there.
69. phonefan4 (Posts: 13; Member since: 03 May 2011)
hey did you forget google tracks the same stuff?? and your right apple is not the only good phone out there, but this isnt about phones, its about tablets, where clearly in every aspect apple does dominate! as far as quality, android would get a lot farther in life if they would concentrate more on making the apps stop all the force closing.
70. Sniggly (Posts: 7305; Member since: 05 Dec 2009)
Up until Apple's update, it tracked a lot more and kept a lot more data than google, in a lot less secure spot.
Quality android tabs are out there, like the xoom. And force closing only happens occasionally. IF YOU OWNED A PROPER ANDROID PHONE YOU WOUPD KNOW THIS.

It frustrates me when apple lovers talk about how amazing their iproducts are when they have never truely given the competition a try. At this point it is no surprise that I pads dominate the market since Google's true answer to the ipad, honeycomb, wasn't released until february (almost a year after the Ipad release). I'm sorry but for the people who truely believe that apples domination in the tablet market is not truely related to that fact, you have been brainwashed. I'm not saying that google is going to storm back and take the number one spot away from apple in this market but the numbers at this point are skewed. Give google a year in the tablet market and well see what it looks like then. I for one own a xoom and love it (typing on it right now). I'm not bashing apple by any means but I hate it when people truely believe its the greatest thing in the world. There is true competion out there the market it just young. I feel android's weakest point is advertising. As an example look at the droid commercials made by verizon (not the phone but the lineup of phones). They toss out a bunch of specs of the devices and make them sound badass and mystical. People want to see what a device can do and how easily it can be used and a majority of the people don't even know what the specifications mean. Android needs to start targeting the general public. How many apple commercials even mention their specs. The I pad doesn't have a blah blah MP camera it has a camera. To the general public that simplicity is what drives sales. I suppose this message is long enough haha.

People tend to forget that Apple reinvented the Tablet market. Before we had clunky and heavy hardware and software not optimized for touch gestures. For those who say that the iPad is a big iPod think again. Thanks to the development of the iPad, the iPhone and iPod touch were born not the other way around. I'm a fanboy of tech and I thank Apple for coming out with their products if not we wouldn't have this other great hardwares and softwares like SGS2 and Android. We would be stuck in Windows Mobile 6.5 if there wasn't this great competition we have today. Lets stop this fanboyism and embrace everyone for giving us choice. Android,iOS,WP7,QNX,BBOS,WebOS,Bada,Symbian etc!

Actually, "ralphyd" comments were fairly spot on. As RIM and HP roll out their tablets on their own OS, and HTC jumps on the Droid tablet market, and they all migrate to different carriers, it is truly gonna be a whole new market in the next 18 months or so. I am not on the front line of sales so I am just learning from what I read, but it SEEMS the overall sales of Tablets have not increased a whole lot from last year, when there was iPad and ..... nothing else. If the public gets more interested in tablets, this market explodes, and the iPad gets more competition for the new dollars, and the best advertisement wins. I do not believe we will see iPads sales fall, but other tablets will get better percentages, IF more people buy. If not, we may never see Apple sell less then 80 - 85% of the market.

"A new survey of tablet owners" is a little too vague for me to fully appreciate these results. I need some demographics, sample size, etc. As an avid studier of the social sciences I never believe statistics like this unless I see more about how the study was conducted.
