V4junkie Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 Some of that is pretty funny Jason: That usually means that I’m trying to get into your pants. Seduction-by-thesaurus is way undervalue, lowball, do an injustice to, be wrong about, sell short, play down, understate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casper Posted January 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 The Gizmodo guys are hilarious. I love reading their articles. Joel, while it’s true most gingers have souls, it’s undertermined if Matt Buchanan does. My money is on him stealing the soul of an intern when we weren’t looking.

redkow97 Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 i'm moderately interested, but mostly because a friend of mine is the co-creator of this: www.appstandstore.com.They've been anticipating the the 'iPad' for a year, and will undoubtedly have a similar product for it soon.

Would be good to take on my motorcycle trips.Yeah, i bet it's really durable. said friend who invents/sells accessories and apps for the iPhone is on his third.

fusion Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 It looks like a giant, goofy looking IPod Touch. My coworkers and I were all basically like "Is that it?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casper Posted January 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 I'd rock one. It looks like a giant, goofy looking IPod Touch. My coworkers and I were all basically like "Is that it?" That's what everyone has said it would be for the past two years or so. And it took you by surprise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casper Posted January 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 It doesn't look like it'll be 3G, just WiFi. That'd suck. There's no 3G signal strength indicator on the screen, just WiFi icon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jblosser Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 "iPad" ? Really? Sounds like something the distaff side would use once a month...I don't hate Apple - they make nice stuff - it's just overpriced, and in this case poorly named."iTablet" or even "Newton Redux" would be better.

fusion Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 That's what everyone has said it would be for the past two years or so. And it took you by surprise? By surprise? Not sure I indicated it caught us by surprise.I'm sure the fan boys will love this, but why it even needed an announcement for being nothing but a big, goofy IPod Touch that is "what everyone has said it would be for the past two years or so" is beyond a number of us.Honestly I was hoping it would be a bit larger by a couple of inches with a faster processor. iPad sounds like a merger between Kotex and Apple, kind of fitting. Wonder if they have settled the trademark dispute with Fujitsu over the name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All that for what is basically a giaant ugly iPod Touch? I'm not even saying this as an Apple hater, but I think this thing will be a swing and a miss. Big initial sales from the faithful and then a slow death. Counter argument? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
