Sry I just figured it would work seeing as its basically a bigger ipod touch. Running an iPhone OS which will likely be jailbroken at some point, so it could basically do what iphones/touchs can do.

The only reason why I even get an iphone coz is easy to use as a phone. I can view websites, play games, listen to music and even read E-books while I am traveling.

However, when it comes to laptops, desktop or even netbooks Ipad will not replace them. There are too many missing functions from the IPad to make it even worthwhile. Also the chepaer version doesn't have any WiFi or anything like that so if you want WiFi I believe you have to get the $800 one. With $800 people can you a very decent netbooks or even a laptops.

The market (not just computer but every market) is filled with countless pieces of junk and useless things for sale. Yet I don't see huge threads posted about those items.

Because they are junk, yet many mis-informed/sheeple will buy it. Most of the other junk doesn't get millions of sales. I'll still never understand the logic behind "oh, my i* got bricked when I updated the firmware, guess I better buy another one." wtf?

Why do you care what other people spend their money on? Like I said, it's funny to see something that you will never buy, that will never impact or affect your life, cause you to get so upset.

It's like bitching about what the guy at the restaurant at the table next to you ordered and how he made a shitty choice.

underscore 02-02-2010 06:07 PM

Because the same friends of mine doing this, who ask for my advice prior to purchase yet still buy this crap, then ask me for help when it breaks. I tell them that Apple killed it/made a piece of junk, yet they go buy another.

On the flip side, why do you care how I feel about Apple and their blatantly false advertising, etc? It's funny to see how my opinions/views, that will never impact of affect your life, cause you to get so upset.

Exactly. I see people with $1,000+ smartphones that they can't use here because the 3G frequencies are wrong, they don't have data or they just don't know how to use it. Whatever, their money. Fangirls/fanboys of anything without substantiation are just idiotic groupies, but hey, you need them around to set the rest of us apart.

:D

I don't care what you think. Besides, you and people like you are the ones spreading hate. If you didn't start hating in the first place, nobody would need to point out how ridiculous it is to get so upset.

You can see it in your language. It's so obvious you are a MAC/Apple hater. But it's so much deeper than that. It's like you can't even use the words MAC or Apple in any sentence without making sure a stream of insults/complaints follows.

If we were talking about a person, I'd say you got abused as a child by someone named MAC or who liked eating Apples, based on the tone of your voice everytime you mention them.

I request everyone from revscene to donate $1 to me so I can afford this thing.
I will then proceed to video tape myself setting fire to this god awful device infront of the apple store at pacific center.

I don't hate. I am irritated by a company that has found success which is based on blatant lies and false advertising used to sell overpriced, poorly built products to ignorant consumers.

Hondaracer 02-02-2010 08:01 PM

iphone is the only apple product I support simply because there is not a phone that does what i want it to do better

other then that, everything else is for fanboy's and hipsters

The $500 US one has wifi, the more expensive one has 3G. I don't see a point in $500 netbooks anymore. You wanna talk overpriced.. those are overpriced.

I'm pretty sure crapple is the only company that calls their router anything but a router, and makes it seem as if that is the only way to use a mac wirelessly. (thats just one example)

Yes, a buddy of mine has a Macbook pro and he had no idea that it could connect to a non-apple router.....so sad
