The iPad is Retarded

~~~






Old people love the new Big Button iPhone.


The long-standing rule that one should never, never, never buy first generation gadgets stands strong today. The new Apple tablet computer is now public, and while it is indeed breaking new ground in personal computers, it is also the dumbest thing we've seen since the Cube was released.

Like the iPhone, the new iPad features a gorgeous glass touch screen. Unless they've made serious upgrades to the screen, it will be even more likely to shatter than it's pocket-sized predecessor. The only thing that will be louder than the hype surrounding iPad will be the howls of despair whenever one of these hothouse flowers is pulled from some unsuspecting douchebag's iPurse only to have a million iShards cascade onto his khakis.

In fact, iPad appears to continue many of the iPhone's unfortunate traditions. It's great for surfing the web! Unless the page you're trying to load has Flash encoded. Send and receive your email! Just don't try to save that attachment to a thumb drive, because there is no USB port. "That's ok. I'll just use whatever clever mechanism those geniuses built-in so that I can add or remove files." No, you won't, because there are no clever mechanisms. Maybe they weren't pretty enough to make the cut. If you're afraid to ask how to replace the battery, it only means reality is starting to overtake hype.

The very first iPads will be wifi-enabled, and the ones coming out a month later will also have 3G. Oh good! Surely this time Apple learned their lesson and made it so the customer could choose from a long list of wireless network providers, right? Umm, about that ... no. By the way, if you're one of the million or so people who will snap-up the non-3G version just so you can declare yourself and Early Adopter, you need to be told that nobody likes you. Not even your dog.

With all that said, the new product from Apple is pretty amazing. It will most likely cause yet another revolution in development. All we're suggesting is that you keep your money in your pocket for now. Remember the original iBook? It was a toilet seat, but it grew up to be a fine little laptop. These things take time.

So, you're waiting outside Best Buy in a tent already, huh?

What a ridiculous and useless device. Basically, it is a ****ing HUGE iPod Touch. Hearing it has Mobile Safari is also a big disappointment. The browser was fine for a cell phone, but is laughable for a computer.

I'm sure some of Apple's more fanatic (and quite possibly retarded?) users will buy this thing though.

I also agree that you should never buy an Apple device without waiting a few years after it came out. Look at the iPod line. Those sucked until the iPod Touch came out. Look at the iPhone - those sucked until the 3G came out. Look at the ****ing Macs - they still suck (arguably, OSX is usable, but compared to a Windows PC, they are no better than one of these: http://tinyurl.com/ybvxq3p).

I might sound like a dumb teenager right now but if you use the computer like me (i watch dumb youtube vids and look for songs) then I think Ipad is a good idea, its my ipod touch but i can actually see the screen. Its not like the ipad is going to be my one and only computer anyways.

right....and what have you created in your life you loser. I should say double loser for using the word retarded.

He doesn't have to create anything because he's not a billion-dollar corporation that should know better.

iPad = iCrap. No Flash, no USB sockets, no multi-tasking....you'd think they would get it right.

Diehard Apple fans will still buy it just because it's nice and shiny - just like little kids and birds like collecting shiny things!

Yeah, I can't believe how stupid people are... really, Apple takes a sh*t and stupid hardcore fans would come and pick it up and say "WOW HOW COOL IS THAT!" what a bunch of retards, Ever wonder why Apple Macs never really sell outside the U.S.? Because there are no enough IDIOTS in other countries who would just buy something based on its brand name. Every penny given to Apple is a penny wasted really, for a retarded, monopolizing product that does ABSOLUTELY nothing special! Might as well get a 200 dollar NetBook from any other company. It just baffles me how people fall for this kind of crap. You know I wouldn't be bashing their so called "tablet" if it wasn't so OVERPRICED... 500 to 800 was it? Jeez man... You can get a REAL tablet for that... with dual core processor, 4 USB's, and all the multi-tasking u can ever think of. I think th iPad should be a 200 dollar device, not anymore. If it was anywhere between 200 to 250 I wouldn't be bitching.

HEY!You really DO sound like a dumb@$$ teenager. Pro choice y'all. This is why! Do you know what D-O-U-C-H-E spells? Obviously not, because you need an i-cock to watch youtube vids.
