Thread: The Apple iPad: Who cares?

I think the iPad will make ridiculous amounts of money, people will be queuing for blocks to get one and everybody that has one will be pompous and arrogant and think theyre a superhero.

Tis the power of branding in a consumer economy where the consumers are idiots

And you can replace iPad with anything Apple.

As far as I can tell, they created a big iPhone and added books to the iTunes store. Like a heavily locked-down netbook without a keyboard. Why? Apparently they want this to become the Apple eReader, but they aren't even using eInk. It'd be like reading a book on a laptop (since it's the same backlit LCD technology), which sucks, unless eyestrain happens to give you a hard-on.
