iPad thread: Tips, Tricks, Apps...

[filch]

You might have missed that this 'product' was originally announced on April 1st - an April Fool's joke. It doesn't exist. (plus it only was listed at $150). It's funny how you jokers take these things actually seriously.

A joke perhaps, won't be long before something like that does show up though.

And the $500 was for an entry level iPad.

The so-called "iPad mini" will feature a screen somewhere between 5in and 7in, compared to the current iPad's 9.7in display, said Mingchi Kuo, an analyst with DigiTimes Research.

(yawn)

Particularly considering that these are the same sources that circulated the 'iPhone nano' rumors in late 2008, and late 2009 - so now we are back with the variant of the 'iPad nano' rumors.

Seems the media, and gullible people, have a deliciously short memory. Too funny, as you're actually taking this seriously.

From Buttfly's link:

The iPad went on sale in the US on 3 April and sold more than 300,000 units on its first day.
Apple said that one million applications and more than 250,000 e-books were downloaded on the same day.

Clearly a disaster for Apple..

They sold 450,000 so far (as of today, when Apple announced iPhone 4.0 (multitasking - yay!).

Yeah, this is panning out to be yet another flop for Apple, I'm sure.

Got mine, and if you scrutinize the launch pictures of the Premium Apple Stores in Los Angeles, you might even catch a glimpse of me. Woohoo!

you are the joker, Quack Quack, what kind of fool spend 500 USD for a giant iPhone that is already outdated

absolutely pathetic, you are buying toys

I received this message today from my blackberry guy in mbk.

"Price of ipad today
16g 27500 bt
64g 38500 bt"

$900 - $1,250?

Wow, looks like I'll be financing a couple of my future AAPL share purchases with iPads again -- worked a mint with iPhones in the past. I think I cleared around $20K in pure profits from iPhones back when....

Thanks for the price updates.

we knew you were one of those tards first in line, Quack Quack, you never fail to enlighten us with your stupidity

I have the WiFi only model right now, but will get the 3G model when it's out, as I can use it with my TRUE move SIM (once exchanged for a
microSIM) on the same 3G prepaid data plan.

Did you know that True Move is censoring many websites in Thailand. Try using GPRS or 3G with your mobile phone on any of the WordPress.com all you will get is “Access Denied (policy_denied)” message.

Never bothered me -- and I had no troubles accessing my wordpress.com hosted websites, as well as my self hosted ones. Seriously, never ran into any site that was censored while I was using TRUE - and within the proper Bangkok regions, their 3G service is quite nice.

In the case of mactards, they only have money.

And a full blown UNIX certified OS. Cleaned out your registry lately?

ROTFLOL!

What's funny about these luddites is that, while there are some decent smartphone alternatives out there (Android, Palm), these same folks are invariably Blackberry users, or swear by their Windows Mobile dinosaurs -- and being good for hours of unwitting entertainment struggling with their impeccable systems...

[Nawty]

I would *so* have bought one

Think this was not really Daffney replying....think it was one of his immature overpaid for hire girlfriends....playin with his ipud

[malako]

I'll wait for the next one.
Apple always finds a way to improve on the 1st versions of new products

iTard and proud!

[DaffyDuck]

A joke perhaps, won't be long before something like that does show up though.

I'm hoping there will be - the hardware would not be the problem. The software is the issue, as a gaming emulator (a la MAME) would be difficult to develop under the SDK guidelines.

And the $500 was for an entry level iPad.

It appeared as if you were talking about the gadget, not the iPad.

iTard and proud!

High-Five!

[DaffyDuck]

I gotta come clean -- I didn't actually stand in line, at the iPad launch, or anywhere else. I pre-ordered my iPad, and had it delivered on launch day to my door.

Someone tell Butterfly he can stop scrutinizing those pictures, now.

If you hold down the control key and scroll up you can zoom in on the pics and try to find him. HTH!

Wasn't there some guy posting screenshots lately of Amiga or Apple ][ emulators running recently?

Pretty weird when your party can die of virtual dysentery without all the hassle

Damn, you're right -- I'm in there. Keep looking.

Apple Sells One Million iPads

Where are all those who predicted the big "flop" for this machine ?

And even the cats like it.

[DaffyDuck]

Oh, I'm sure he's spouting inanities from behind my ignore filter.

Plenty o' claim chowder whenever these hatebois make their predictions.

I never doubted it, never underestimate the stupidity of apple fans

[Ghandi]

Great product, but what does it actually do ?

[Butterfly]

^ it's for masturbation, both mental and physical

[DaffyDuck]

Great product, but what does it actually do ?

Uh... it's for .... well, you know...

oh damnit, just buy one. :-)

Basically, whatever the average person would want a laptop for, and would overpay by purchasing a netbook - that, and whatever you discover apps for, and whatever apps you find that you didn't think possible or that you needed.

Essentially, it's a great companion product to my existing Mac system, allowing me to do on the road 90% of what I would use a MacBook for, and more that I never considered for it.

Plus, it reads books.

[Nawty]

Plus, it reads books.

So its smarter than Daffney and butterfly put together...SO cool

[Butterfly]

^ you must have missed this

it's for masturbation
