iPad: guess what I found?

[IckleMissMayhem]

-snipped-

That may be true, but Cadburys is a thousand times better then the Hersheys stuff they have over there.

Also, our food is badass. Roast dinners, fish and chips, full english. I'd rather swallow my own head than give that up.

OT: iPad- A gimmick that will appeal to those Magpie-consumers because it's shiny.

1&2 - Agree completely. Although that's not to say that some parts of some other countries' cuisine is equally awesome.

3 - Just like all other apple products, n'est-ce pas?

Now I'm all for patriotism etc, but you, my good sir, are lying your little arse off. On two counts. The rest f Europe doesn't class our 'chocolate' as such. It's nothing to be proud of. Waaaaaay too much sugar, not enough cocoa. And NHS Dental care is only free until 18... enjoy(!!!) it while you can!!

As someone already said, Cadbury's. For commerical chocolate it does pretty well and is as tasty if not better than other European commerical brands (in my opinion).

As for dental care, i'm 19 and i still get it free since i'm a student.

 

[jesse.]

Damn us Americans hogging all our technologies.

We've had hover cars for years!

And Jet Packs! And rocket boots! I'm not sure why we need both!

SPEED

IMO, Cadbury's is vile, but to each their own. As for the dentist, I refused to go since I was 16, owing to quite a few nothing-less-than-traumatic visits previously. - Through no fault of my own, and my teeth are perfectly fine, and give me no trouble, before you lot start haranguing me.

....And good dental care!?!? Seriously were you do guys get this impression that the Brit's have bad teeth?

Spoiler: The Simpsons?

 

[tmujir955]

Oh, and you'll have a proper PC by having the right one.

WTF!?

No headphone jack!?

Jeez, it looks like Apple can screw up creating a bigger iPod Touch.

I'm sure you can import it...

Or wait 2 years...

I'm an English student myself, so reading is important. I am not in the slightest bit tempted by the idea of a "digital book", even if they did introduce the ibook library thing in the UK. I will always prefer the tactile quality of a book, as well the as the practicality. Plus, a book only costs a tiny fraction of an Ipad.

 

[Plurralbles]

I think they made it so featurelesss so they could comb the interwebs getting free ideas, though we're all just saying hte FREAKIN obvious reasons it sucks so hardcore.

I WANT THAT DAMN THING!!! no idea why...

Oh god, your turning into...one of them!

I've never understood country-specific licenses and release dates.

Here's an OFFICIAL DoctorNick promise to you all:

If I ever become a media mogul of some sort, regardless of it being movies, games, music, books or whatever, if I'm going to release something in multiple countries it will be available for sale in all of them on THE SAME DAY.

We Australians will love you for this.

Censorship will delay releases in Australia. Sorry pals. "OMG! This could portray violence, let's curb that!"
OT: Other than being a Kindle that can do more(and who can tell what that will be, besides maybe solitaire), I'm expecting to see the IPad fulfill its destiny as a paperweight.

 

[ClazzD]

Wow, lol. And I live in China. Hmph. So unfair.

Guys, we all know by now that iPad is shit. Every person with at least a bit of good taste and resistance for advertising is aware of that.
Besides, anyone who picks iPhone over any android based telephone is out of their mind. Maybe we won't get a button that farts on droid but we get all for free. Free apps ftw!

I just hate apple becouse it destroyed good competition in terms of quality and price of product. Instead apple started competition in advertising. AMD vs Intel is good competition. GeForce vs Radeon is good. Mac vs PC or iPhone vs Droid makes me want to puke. Making a phone trendy does not make it better!

Me being a student and needing a lot of books and all, I thought this could be quite useful - afterall, despite it being rather bulky its still better than carrying about 10-15 books in my bag all day.

You can already have this, buy a normal, cheaper and better ebook reader and forget about fashion. You're a man god dammit!

 

[Sixties Spidey]

So? No multitasking. No USB. No USB. No E-ink. No Slot Card. No Camera. It's probably the biggest waste of money that Apple has ever made.

Hopefully the Homebrew community will find a way to make this at least worth a fuck.

Besides, reading on an LCD screen hurts eyes in the long run, buy a good epaper device instead. Or just buy a palmtop, a device that will actually do shit.

Yeah, basically the more you read about it the more amazed you become at it's stupidity. My HTC has more options (and fits in my pocket)

Ok, mate? We all know your right about the iPad but this is just plain old flaming. Plesse, please PLEASE don't flame on The Escapist. That shit aint welcome here.

I've got 99 problems but flaming ain't one.

If you took it so personally then sorry, I have a habit of voicing my opinion aggresively and in a mockery-like manner, that may sound like flaming so sry if you felt taunted, no offence. Still, how useful can be an LCD ebook reader (becouse as it was pointed out before iPad has no more usefulness than a phone)?
To be constructive, I'd roll with that

or wait for the responce of competition.

I don't want to flame but god, I hate apple.

Because both are DAMN COOL.

Also to rub it in those Brit's faces.

Oh I hope you're all joking or I'm going to be very upset.
