iPad: "Like the Beatles of 2010" - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Asmaedus;21179846]Is it literally just a big iphone?[/QUOTE] Pretty much.

[QUOTE=DamagePoint;21180053]Pretty much.[/QUOTE] It can't make calls though. I think.

I get it. They both were made famous under a company named Apple, which are both money grubbing monsters.

lolPad I see nothing new or innovative on the iPad, it's just recycled bullshit. I thought Apple was all about the innovation. Anyways, terrible analogy, The Beatles brought something new, iPad on the other hand; there's nothing new.

iPad: "Like the Beatles of 2010" You mean built out of 4 into 1 and then ends up dying?

[QUOTE=DamagePoint;21179754]Seems like a good idea to me. Otherwise it would be just another gimmicky excuse for a tablet. The iPad is the first real tablet computer.[/QUOTE] Except it can hardly be called a computer! You have literally no creative freedom on it to install or do what you want, and you are forcibly subjected to extortionate prices for over-simplistic and lackluster software. What would have been a better idea would have been for them to use a sort of bare-bones OSX. This would give the end user the freedom to use it as the please rather than how Apple dictates.

The only thing impressive about the iPad is Apple's PR department. They've got their fanbase salivating on command like Pavlov's dogs. For fuck's sake, people, it's just an iPhone with a bigger screen, more expensive applications, and even less wiggle room for custom programs or anything not explicitly authorized by Apple.

I'll buy anything if it's shiny and made by Apple.

They tried to make something that would be like one of those futuristic notepad things that you see people walking around with in sci-fi movies. something that has all the information you need right at your fingertips, a novel idea but the implementation is just fucking lazy they basically just made a really big iTouch. awesome idea, But not 500$'s worth of awesome. Needs more work/thought put into it and a lower price. Then I'll consider buying it.

I'm developing quite a strong hate for Apple. Used to hate all their stuff, then i saw the iTouch/iPhone, loved them... now this. Apple... :fuckoff:

I can't wait to see how much they charge for apps.

I'm looking at all the lonely people with iPads.

Except the Beatles are actually good.

lol iPad...

[QUOTE=First 10'er;21177365]oh and look its the mingers from facepunch again, 1. none of you can afford an ipad/macbook so yeah thats why ur crying and 2. the beats are amazing, its the scummy chav of today that cant appericate real music.[/QUOTE] Yo bro, I got a macbook pro. Explain that?

Did t hey just insult the Beatles?

Just like The Beatles? So it'll form a band, get famous, smoke some drugs, have some women chase after it then get murdered/fade away into obscurity/marry someone with only one leg?

that's really not a good comparison for me since i don't like the beatles

[QUOTE=Dr.C;21177131]just like the beatles, it's overrated[/QUOTE] Oh please. The Beatles were an extremely important band.

[QUOTE=MisterMooth;21183355]Oh please. The Beatles were an extremely important band.[/QUOTE] If we're going by influence: The Beatles are undoubtedly the greatest, in that field. Musically: This is more opinion based, but personally I find them too simplistic, too minimalistic, for the most part, in the latter part of their career they did some interesting music, but the main bulk of their career isn't appealing to me.

In theory they could do this for every year. Last year with all the twitards about you could say [quote]Twilight: "Like the Beatles of 2009"[/quote] Comparing The Beatles to Twilight though is just wrong.

Even as a devoted apple fan I can see this thing spunks bullshit up the wall

anal leakage theres an app for that

Beatles eats apples last time I checked

[QUOTE=GunsNRoses;21179420]Hopefully Yoko destroys apple.[/QUOTE] iPad dies getting shot by a crazed friend in the back

Wasn't it apple that killed the Beatles's record label?

I see no proper use for an iPad in real life. It has no keyboard, it is unsuitable for all kind of games including flash games and it has no Ethernet port. sarcasm noted on Ethernet port since Wi-fi is more suitable for this device.
