OK so I'm a goddamn sellout

I'm sooo not proud of what I came here to say. After many years of my shit talking and bitching about Apple products and vowing never to have an apple product in my home. I went and got the ipad 32 gig. I'm such a whore it isn't even funny. Admittedly I did want to check it out but on Easter Sunday my wife said she had wanted one as a joke I think. It had clicked in my head that a shady friend of mine, well most of my friends are shady, had mentioned he knew a guy, who knew a guy that "found" a few that fell off a truck ;) So I got one for $250 talked down from $350 which is still cheap as he was selling them to most for $500 for the 32 gig. Shrewd as an Arab trader I am :P Turns out this far I kind of like it. I just opened it and had to install itunes for the first time in my life. I'm combing the interwebs for the jailbreak when it comes out so if anyone knows about this please let me know. Thanks. I still can't believe what a sellout I am and I'm sorry if I let you guys down. I'll take some pics in the morn.

As long as you don't become a Steve Jobs worshipper, we're ok ;)

By the way, is it correct it can only run one application at a time? How's battery life?

It's kinda like finding out a friend is gay, or vegetarian. You eventually accept them, but always wonder why...

Actually, another friend was showing me his iPod. Kinda cool, really. Hope you enjoy your new toy!

Learn to read. :dry:

Yeah only one app at a time. No Flash player either, no browser choice (only safari) but the thing is incredible responsive and a pretty good toy. Kind of like a cross between an iphone and a netbook. Internet loads faster than my wife's netbook though. Here are a few pics of it.

You'll have to let me know if you can snag another one for $250. Seriously. :mellow:

As for jailbreaking - stay tuned.

Thanks bud, I read that article also. It's not ready for the "consumer" grade yet I figure a few weeks or so should be ready. I already called him for someone else to see if he has anymore. If so I'll let you know bud. Shirley these are going fast tho :O

I think that Lightnin McQueen will last longer :D Im holdin out for price drop :)

Well 'ol Lightnin' has been around for 5 years now since my first son started liking him. We're on kid number 3 and they all LOVE Disney Cars so I figure he'll be around in one way or another for a few more years at least. As far as computers go if you check my history here in those 5 years i have gone through prob 6-8 new computers so I imagine I'll be on to something else soon.

But, the real question: why would anyone need an iPad?

Why does anyone need anything??

exactly, no one really needs electronics. there are many who survive without them or a large part of them. I love gadgets so I would love to have one of these bad boyz. Too bad I have to choose ole Lightnin over the ipad cause my kids come first. :happy:

Make this argument using "oxygen" in place of "anything".

Begin anytime.

I was wondering when you were going to show up. Honestly i thought I would get a severe lashing from you C. You must be tired..well that or stoned :P

Or apathetic.

Hmmm, perhaps. My money is still on stoned.

No, it sucks because it's an Apple product. Everything that Apple makes is overpriced garbage. You're not allowed to like it.

But don't worry. Even the most conservative analysts estimate 5 million sold iPads this year. You won't be alone with your gay Apple POS device.

God, I really hate Apple.

There's an app for that.

@pb, OK dude you got me. Enjoy your gloating while you can. I just saw the HP Slate though and it seems to have all the features the ipad is missing.

One funny thing about this promo video:
I noticed that the cable they plug in (0:13) to show that the device has an USB slot is clearly an Apple USB cable that comes with the iPhone, iPod and the iPad. :happy:

Well no I have a USB cable that came with my iriver u10 media player years ago. Damn I loved that thing. Here is a pic you can kind of see it. Damn Mac fag you are. There are other white USB cables out there you racist!!

You'll buy one sooner or later.

Yes, but the one used in the HP video is an Apple cable. If they turned it around you'd have seen the Apple logo.

OK, I'll bite. How do you know it's an apple cable? I still think it could be just a white USB cord as well.

I can take it if a friend of mine comes out of the closet. No problem. But apple?

Well, to be fair, that is the logo for USB. It's on everything USB, Apple or not.

However, it sure does looks just like the Apple one. :whistling

But like I said there are other white USB devices out there, not many, but they are there.

is it easy on the eyes, like for ebook reading and such?

Welcome to the world of the Enlightened ;)

Enlightened, Um no. Overpriced toys club maybe.

I like my ipod nano.rest all are crap :P
