Analysis of iPad 2 #2

I looked on a web site for info on the iPad2.They are very reliable, in their info and credibility. CNBC is affiliated with NBC, a government agency. So knowing they’re reliable, I proceeded to the info.

First Of All, They give accurate statistics about Apple being ahead of its competitors, 86% compared to 78%. These statistics are reliable because they were taken from a study executed by the University Of Michigan. There is no bias or slant, the author has no viewpoint, no conflicting evidence, and they are organized and reliable.

The info makes sense, because more people buy apple products (wider variety) than Amazon or other competitors. The author purpose is to inform his readers that more people are happy with the iPad than the Nook, Kindle, and the e reader.

Analysis of iPad 2 #1

          I looked at a reliable source, and I believe the author’s purpose is to inform, because the author is giving facts based on a poll, which says that 84% of iPad 2 users said that they were happy with the product, which is saying something, especially compared to its competitors, such as Amazon (Kindle) and Barnes & Noble (Nook).

           The important thing is reliability, which if it is not, could dash everything just said to dust. I believe it is reliable because of some key details needed on a site.

• 1) The site has a status on updates and when it was published.

• 2) The site has advertisements, which goes to show that some companies trust the site and believe that it is reliable.                                

• 3) They have a link to contact them in case anything is amiss.

• 4) They present a lot of facts, they are straightforward w/ out bias or slant, the article has common sense. The author has no viewpoint  on the subject. He is merely relaying the statistics.

So all in all, I believe this source is reliable.
