My dad bought an iPad for Christmas. Literally the only things he uses it for are ebooks, and scribbling (completely illegible, lol touchscreen) notes.

Despite this, when I asked what advantages his $850 iPad has over a Kindle + legal pad, he just kind of looked at me, then did the slide-animation on the home screen a few times.

Face it: iPad is the new Blackberry. Remember when everyone wanted one of those? Every businessman worth his BMW needed one. Now, blackberries are passe, and the ipad is now hip. Give it three years, and everyone will have moved on to something else.

its the future bitch
take it or leave it

I'm not claiming it's been unsuccessful, merely that it's not useful.

Name one thing a tablet form factor gets you? Especially considering its numerous negatives:

1. no keyboard = no typing more than a paragraph

2. compact and small = very hot

3. fragile, exposed screen = have to buy a separate protective case, bag, etc

4. hideously expensive

1. get better fingers

2. lol lol

lolol

3. i threw mine in my carry on bag and flew coast-to-coast with it, no problem

4. stop being poor

freedom, for corporate bean counters to make an extra 10c per unit bundling shitware with your $700 device

also you don't have the freedom to remove it even if you'll never use it

i'm not implying anything about it being revolutionary, i'm saying that apple is the only company that seems to understand that a good UI and reliability are 95% of what most people care about in a device. that's what they did for the ipod, iphone, and the ipad. took a market full of half-assed me too devices and actually spent some R&D instead of making GBS threads out the bare minimum.

apple is the second biggest corporation by market cap on the planet because they produce consumer electronics devices that are merely manufactured by third world fucktards as opposed to being designed and manufactured by third world fucktards

dunno whether that makes me happy or sad

i mean i hate apple but really why is it that a company actually being vaguely competent at their poo poo are heralded as bringing about the next stage in human evolution or whatever the gently caress. has the cargo culting really become that bad

looooool

it's like they think being $50 less than an ipad will excuse a poor user experience

seriously, look at the official xoom site; it's got a dual-core processor but only 1GiB of ram, as if there's this giant underserved market of people just itching to encode video over 3g

my guess: this is verizon's way of getting back at apple for not releasing a cdma ipad yet

Predict failure of new apple product

Attribute early success of new apple product to rabid fanbois affected by the reality distortion field

Attribute longer term success of product to stupidity of consumers

Purchase previously scorned product for stupid relatives so they stop bothering you to help support the open source version of apple product sold by Super Lucky Technology Extreme that you convinced them to buy

Purchase previously scorned product for yourself just to see what all the fuss is about

Admit that you now own and use the product, but complain about the product�s lack of an sd card slot on Internet forum

Forget prior criticism of product, claim that it was revolutionary and an example of how apple used to be really innovative, but has now lost its edge
