The F is an iPad and why would I want one?
« on: January 27, 2010, 07:42:18 PM »

I've heard it is a cross between and iPhone and laptop. It looks far to large to fit in my pocket so little chance it would replace my blackberry. What the fuck is it? Steve Jobs just pisses me off so much.

I think it's supposed to compete with the e-reader market.

Seems like apple is more reactionary than revolutionary these days.

That said, I fucking love my iPhone.

Things the Kindle has lacked that I would find useful:

1) Color
2) Basic internet browser usage
3) Touch sensitivity which allows for notation while reading
4) Fast processing (it shouldn't take more than half a second to turn the page of a book)
5) iPhone apps
6) Word processing

If I get one (I won't), I'll carry it around on my shoulder.. like a giant iPhone. The thing is gauche.

By its size, it looks like a competitor for newspapers.

I've heard it lacks flash support. Steve said it is the best internet experience you can have. Unlikely.

It's an Ipod touch, only it doesn't fit in your pocket.

It's an Ereader, only with comparatively shitty battery life and hurts your eyes like an lcd instead of gently fucking your eyes in the back seat of a car like real epaper.

It's a note/netbook, only it has no keyboard and can't multitask, play flash, or utilize storage expansions through a Flash memory card of some type.

IT HAS SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE!!!*

It's the worst product Apple has come out with since the Apple III.

I think I'll stick with my tablet. . .even if it is dying a slow painful death due to HPs ignorance.

Okay, I kind of understand now. So it is like a reader for e-books and such?

Sad, I've gotten to the age when tech is starting to confuse me.

Nope.

It's a giant ipod touch. the color lcd screen makes it too hard on the eyes to read books.
