Apple's iPad announcement earlier this afternoon prompted a score of WTFing across the internet, prompting many to ask, "Are there any women on Apple's marketing team?" Answer: Apparently not. (Period.)


When I read this I was thought, "WTF!". Then I found out it was really this

Image

In less than one week, Apple is expected to unveil some thingamajig that will be like a Kindle from heaven and supposedly save print media. What this new gadget might be called is where people might have an issue.

Recent evidence suggests that this divine new product will be called the iPad. Obviously, this presents some immediately troubling connotations — as opposed to a word like "notepad," a single letter "i" doesn't give us enough emotional distance from the "pad" part of the package. Nevertheless, Apple has very recently pursued trademark rights to "iPad," so this may be a brand-name we're going to have to live with. Rather than point out the maxi-padded problems with this, we're going to suck it up and accept our potential fate. What might we expect from the awesome new iPad?

• Intense visuals, including three-dimensional clotting.

• Hardware tough enough to withstand leakage.

• Attention-getting aesthetics — sleek Winged Design™ will turn heads.

• Pets will love it...especially dogs.

• Stay-put adhesive — stick it in the palm of your hand and leave your other hand free!

• Convenient disposability keeps pipes unclogged.

• Customization: scented vs. unscented, light vs. heavy, pink vs. purple.

On the downside:

• Only the flimsy "teen" model will be small enough to conceal in your hand.


Of course there's alot of Tampon jokes. Now discuss

So they just made a computer as flat as an LCD with a touch screen. How is this new?

Because it uses the TouchOS or whatever instead of LeapordOS


So that means one app at a time

I've discovered that apple products are the f*** fashion of electronic gadgets. People will pay ANY price, just to go around showing off that damn logo. It's like how Nintendo is to casual gamers, people go mental over it.

For those of you who subscribe to Phillip defranco on youtube you'll notice he made a video about this. He goes into vivid details about what it can and can't do. Basically its a really large iiphone and it isn't worth the money either. Just buy a labtop.

Of course it's not good, that's the fashion part. If their stuff didn't blow up in your pocket or s*** like that, I would half understand that people want to go for a brand they can trust, but the only thing you can be ensured by this brand is that it's gonna be a bunch of halfassed ideas that have been done earlier, cheaper and better by other companies.

No offense but i think its the motherload of horrible ideas all packed up into one.

The ipad looks like a giant cracker or matzah you call it in hebrew with the functions of an ipod touch. Who even wants to use the accelerometer. It makes you look stupid

The big question is, who came up with this stupid idea in the first place?
