Apple iPad and related items

[hendo]

I never personally said it was. I was just posting up link from another site where it was mentioned

I think it's the opposite of a geek device, in that it tries to demystify the whole experience of using a computer. It's been easier and easier to use these things over the years and now we've got something that infants and pensioners will feel very comfortable with.

It was a policeman that said it

Found some free wifi and got it all working. I'm sitting with it in my lap and typing about as fast as i would on a regular keyboard. Feels fine. So far everything feels smooth and pleasant.

If they're lucky enough to be able to afford the very high price of such a luxury item, of course.

fuck's SAKE! still not arrived!

I could have gone down to the Apple Store at Westfield and got one by now. Mind you they probably sold out to people from the BBC.

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure parents tend to buy things for their children.

Look! Here's a of a 2.5 year old playing with one!

oi cunt mods, can't you tell the difference between a thread on the iPad being announced and the iPad being released?

 

[FridgeMagnet]

[Ax^]

Still honestly think anyone who's will to spend the money on this out dated bit of a kit is a bit of a sucker

that's nice

 

[revol68]

what this thread about the iPad being announced as opposed to say a thread about it being released?

Anyway I'll post my OP from the other thread in here.

So which degenerate fucks on here are planning to buy this embodiment of everything wrong in the world? A fucking golden calf for the cunt worshippers of backslapping, smug, liberal capitalism.

Oy revol: with two iPad fanboy mods ready to declare undying love for their shiny new toys today, I suspect you may be heading into stormy waters if you continue your current critical trajectory.

pretty much this picture

looks cool but nothing really new about the ipad

 

[gabi]

Looking at the size of this thread and the iPhone one surely it's time for an Apple sub-forum.

Poll to follow.

Yeah because software has no bearing on the user experience (I dont even like the iPad)

Your comparison is ridiculous.

We've already tried sub forums for individual brands. Didn't work.

ipad == shit

I have no facts to back this up, but fuck it, it's never stopped me before.

That's only because you've got your shiny new iPad and he's still waiting to rub up against his own one.

I hate waiting in for gadget deliveries.

 

[tarannau]

Of course there is. What use are stats if the OS and software isn't there?

You don't buy a car solely on the capacity of engine it has. Comparisons like this are just asinine really.

Would a mobile forum be a happy medium?

 

[Crispy]

The hardware is nothing special (although its a very nice screen) - it's the software and the user experience i paid for.

I highly recommend the "icab mobile" browser btw, proper tabs, with open in background, download manager and all sorts of other nice things. With the £1.50 or whatever it was. Posses on safari, while rendering pages just as well.

They always end in dissapointment
