75% of this thread is about people either making jokes about having the letter i in a product name, or making the same joke over and over and over and over and over again about how they called it a pad because "OMG A PAD IS ALSO A NAME GIVEN TO A THING YOU USE FOR YOUR PERIOD OLOLOLOLOLOLOL WII!"
In actual terms, the iPad
royally sucks! I mean, it's essentially a thinner, lighter, tablet PC, but where you have to pay to download programs that you could get for free on a regular one. And that doesn't have proper drawing or gaming support. Or any sort of open source stuff at all.
Remind me again why Microsoft is always portrayed as the anti-opensource, cheddar-greedy company again?
But the marketing... OH GOD, THE MARKETING! I mean, their entire strategy is going "BIGGER SCREEN, GYROSCOPE, BIGGER SCREEN, GYROSCOPE, YOU CAN DOWNLOAD APPS AND BOOKS, BIGGER SCREEN, IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE
FOREVER! What? No, we're not going to tell you why it's better than the competition, IT JUST IS!"
I laughed at the part where they were saying how they plan to never lower the price like it's a good thing. No, really, they actually said that they didn't like the way most tech starts off really expensive and then gets cheaper over time, so they want to keep it at a constant price as much as they can! UGH!
Also, the way they were advertising multi-touch like a revolutionary new idea was REALLY cheap! Why? Because that's already a Windows standard now! They were actually trying to take advantage of how Microsoft doesn't blow loads of cash on marketing like they do!
