I'm afraid that if I get an iPad, I'll turn into this guy.

I wouldn't mind having an iPad but I'll wait a while to get one if I ever do. This is first generation Apple hardware and you know it will be redesigned not far down the road to be better and cost the same or less than the first generation one. Look at the iPod and iPhone, they both got better versions really quickly.

Or some other company will come along with a similar product that doesn't have strict restrictions placed on it. Seriously, I'm not a tech junkie, but I'd get something like an iPad if I didn't have to follow Apple's rules and restrictions.


So here's to you Mrs. Robinson. People love you more- oh, nevermind.

The iPad does not have an SD card reader. It does not have USB ports. It does not have disk drives. It does not multi-task.

So, you paying $1200 for a laptop that can't do basic things that even the crappiest laptops on the market can do. It's a giant iPhone without the phone capabilties.

The great thing about the iPhone is that:

1. It's a phone with a shitload of extra functionality
2. It fits in your pocket.

You can say the same thing about iPod Touch, just replace "phone" with "iPod" in the first point. The iPad does not fit in your pocket. It is essentially a laptop that is missing all the key features that make it useful for school and business applications. Want to type up your Master thesis on your iPad? Well, you can't print it out. You'll have to e-mail it to yourself and print it out from a better platform. And you'll probably have to reformat the entire paper. Want to design a business presentation on your iPad? Unless everyone in your client's boardroom has iPads, you won't be able to share it. You won't be able to hook it up to a monitor via USB and show it to the entire boardroom at once, because the iPad doesn't have USB.

The iPad is a shitty toy designed for vapid idiots. All week on Twitter, celebrities have been sucking the iPad's dick. They should be sucking mine. Mine's bigger, it has more functionality, I can multi-task, and I provide anti-virus protection.

theyre actually coming out w/some firmware sometime in the future that allows multi tasking. granted, that shouldve been one of the FIRST things they shouldve done, its good to see that apple isnt totally retarded.

its still too fucking expensive and limited for my money/tastes.

and i already have an iPod Touch, so im straight.
