Wrong. A norwegian newspaper first came with the iPad story, but then it was "Here we see Norways Prime Minister try out the iPad."
Then another story came, with him at a desk with a laptop and phones and other prime-minister things, saying "This is where Jens runs the country."
This newsreport is bullshit.
I don't notice any difference :frog:
and I'm norwegian
[QUOTE=Rubs10;21411850]Isn't the Ipad just a tablet, but with less laptop functionality? I swear I've seen the exact same thing, just slightly larger, running Windows, and without the Apple design.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, it's called the HP Slate.

I think if your country changed dramatically the moment the PM is away from office, then you seriously need to question capabilities of the government.

That's Denmark.
You douche..
Must be simple as fuck to manage a country then.
[QUOTE=FunnyBunny;21411326]You guys really need to stop bitching. I mean, I'm not an apple fanboy, but it's fucking annoying to go into any thread related to an Ipad and seeing 'A laptop can do this too'.[/QUOTE]
Make me
You know, I would buy an iPad if there was an app like "push this button to rule your country"...
I doubt anyone but him has found a realistic use for that idiotic device.
Come on Apple, you seriously just changed the res and background of the iPhone on a larger screen, you didn't even change the grid scale; still 4x4.
Where is the part when some guy steals the over hyped ipad to sell it realizing he could probably pose as the PM and run the country while siphoning funds for himself.

This is actually one of my biggest problems with it. Seriously.
As soon as I saw what it was, I thought to myself:

But NO. It's kinda hilarious actually.
Big deal? I'm sure politicians manage countries all the time through different mediums..

So? You don't have to make new shit, just better shit/easier to use shit.

Apple would make more money by selling the Iphone OS as a virtual machine than by selling hardware at ridiculous margins.
