Why is that important?
1) It means you can now order it without paying sales tax (Apple store and Best Buy make you pay local sales tax)
2) Now I can link to it
I’ve been wanting to rave about how cool the iPad is, but it seemed unethical to pimp some item when I wouldn’t get a cut of sales. Now that I can get referral credit, I have to say months after having one it’s still the coolest thing ever. I mean, it’s the only thing in 2010 that matches my expectations of what 2010 would be like when I was a kid (where are my flying cars, robots, and moon base?). I wasn’t quite sure what it’s purpose was when I bought one, but I’ve been constantly using it since. Web surfing, videos (iTunes, Netflix, YouTube), books, comic books, games all on this little thing you can lay in bed using. Basically, I use it for all computer stuff other than writing. And then there is all the neat things people are still coming up with to use it for, like the app I tried out where you just hold the iPad up towards the sky and it shows you what stars and constellations you’re looking at. I think the iPad is going to be pretty ubiquitous in the future, and I bet web design will be changed to better accommodate it (regular web pages seems so low tech and clunky compared to specifically made apps).
Man, I don’t want to have to redesign IMAO, though. I hate maintenance stuff…
Yeah, no thanks. I’m waiting until Toshiba or Dell or HTC or somebody comes out with a better one cheaper without the smell of hippies.
Well, homosexuality became “ubiquitous” one day. And the word “apps” is more gay than most homosexual men.
Books are made from trees. Trees are our enemies. Remember this while reading Chomsky on your iVidal at Starbucks.
So, now there’s a cheaper way to get something I don’t have a need for and really don’t want.
1. I clicked on the link.
2. … (?)
3. Frank makes profit!
I’m there for ya, buddy!
Frank, I’m not goin’ there. Wouldn’t this have worked better?
1. National Geographic Captures Photos of Laser Wielding Dinosaurs!
B) ?????
3) Profit!
I have an IMAC, an Apple laptop and two IPhones (my wife and I) both of which are the new IPhone 4. I so want the IPad but am trying to figure out why I need it. I also have a Kindle…
For those of you waiting for a Microsoft version…good luck. They are furiously copying Apple’s code right now but I’m cure the programmers at Apple put a “Kerplewey” command hidden in the code so that when you are working along on your very gay Toshiba, it will blow chunks and you will have a very cool blue screen which you will be unable to fix…
I do likes my iPad.
Wife and I have two iPods, a MacBook Pro, a Gateway laptop, a Dell laptop, a Dell desktop, two TiVos, a coffee maker, a refrigerator, a fish tank, 3 wood rocking chairs, and a cat.
I don’t know what all that means, but I still like my iPad.
Basil,
Why do you have a cat?
Son of Bob – because when the economy collapses, they taste like chicken.
I have an IBM Thinkpad laptop. It’s sorta like an iPad with a keyboard instead of a touchscreen.
I NEED an IMAO iPhone app anyway, so please do get on that app business, kthxbai.
