The Apple iPad

[screw_ball69]

Ok, so normally I am not a big fan of Apple products but I am currently drooling all over my bosses shoulder as me and my co workers watch the Apple presentation.

I officially want one, how about you guys.

My Ipod nano and Ipod classic serve me just fine.

[screw_ball69]

Oh trust me, this is no iPod, thats fer damn sure.

Go to hell apple! I have a zune. Zune is slightly better except the name is ugly.

[screw_ball69]

Zunes great, yeah, this is a tablet tho, 10 inch screen plays movies, music, games, books has internet, you name it this thing can do it.

I think - I'm pretty sure I've heard this before - that the iPad is some sort of tablet/tablet-computer. Is that correct? If so, I don't care much for it.

Yeah it doesn't look so bad, it's pretty much like a larger ipod touch with more power but I'd still prefer a laptop over it. I'm not sold yet.

Apple products are for those who have no sense of comparison shopping and are are trying too hard to be cool.


It's funny just how much HypnoJobs has taken over the community. People liked Apple at first because it refused to things the M$ and IBM way, and while I was never an Apple fan I supported them for their efforts.

The last decade, however, has seen Apple turn into the very beast they hated, and in fact, they're even worse at it now. I can't tell you how many times they crack down their forums over -legitimate- complaints over product defects, and mysteriously the threads are gone hours after creation. They censor, they block, and they refuse renovation.

The Droid ad says it best:

" This is a world of “nope, “nuh-uh’”,” and “sorry, Charlie”.

A world of smiling denial. Petty tyrannies that have made their way into our cell phones. Into the very way we choose to speak to another human being. There are dozens of doesn’ts. Doesn’t allow customization. Doesn’t run multiple apps. Doesn’t allow you to swap out batteries. doesn’t allow open development. These arrogant little devices are barely worth more than the pocket link they rest upon. Because now there’s a phone so smart, so strong. So subservient to its user, it refuses to include “doesn’t” in its dictionary app.

In a world of doesn’t. Droid Does.
"

That sums up my thoughts on Apple, and ANY of their products. The iPad looks like it's another overpriced, overhyped, underfunctional device that will sell millions merely because it's 'Cool' and 'in.'

Bah!
