So the brilliant Steve Jobs showed off the long rumored iPad. iPad is similar to an iPhone in that you can have have a gazillion apps ready at your helm and a touch screen. The difference is that the iPad has 9.7 inches of screen. You can go online with it so you can check Facebook and read news articles. But besides having a big ass screen, who wants to carry a tablet around?
If I want a screen that big, I might as well get a laptop for the same price, $500. Sure, the laptop is bulkier and heavier but at least you can finish your work on the go, while iPad is meant for internet surfing and retrieving e-mails. What the hell is going on here? It seems like we’re going backwards with this device. That’s what the iPhone is for, you can conveniently bring it anywhere with you and surf the internet.
iPod made sense, iPhone was cool, iTab is just pointless.

Wow, that’s what that thing is? I thought it would be, TV, Internet, video phone, regular phone…what the hell, is right! Who gives a crap Apple!
More digital trash to hock that no one needs. The future is NOT here and probably won’t be in my lifetime…

Have you guys not seen Avatar? They were using that to analyze Sam’s avatar.

Its a giant Ipod!!!! Your better off with a actual laptop, if your like me you got at least 5 to 10 different windows open at a time. Your music, pictures, facebook, photoshop. With the Ipad you can’t do none of that, only one app running at time just like the IPod.
Hell at least get the Apple Notebook.
