Somehow I can agree with you... I've been getting this completely irrational niggling thought in the back of my mind saying "you know you want it", despite it basically being a bulkier iPhone...DemonicKitten said:
I think its cause it reminds me of those tablets they always have in Star Trek, but even cooler cause it does loads of stuff
Don't forget the English language, we'll take (what little is left) of that away from them too, they'll have to make their own language which will probably consist of "OMG,GTFO, PWNZORX HAX!" etc etc. Also my teeth are fine, I've no idea where that stereotype is from.Nickolai77 said:MONSTERheart said:
....And good dental care!?!? Seriously were you do guys get this impression that the Brit's have bad teeth? Why would we have bad teeth anyway? We don't have to pay to visit the dentist! XD
Oooh, maybe it's just because we know how to make proper chocolate? Or know how to make proper food in general really...
Tell you what. If you don't give us that nano tech and your faster than light travel and what not, the Queen will not be amused and we will forced to stop exporting actors to you (so you can wave good bye to Dr House, besides we want him back for a Blackadder remake
Edit: This is the Queen when she is not amused
Well played Brit... well played. To be fair though, you don't export your actors as much as they just flock here ;0).Nickolai77 said:MONSTERheart said:

Wow, google is doing the exact same thing that hundreds of other technology companies do, too.
I don't get how people are still surprised by staggered technology releases across regions.

it cant make calls, but yes.AlmightyWabbit said:
edit: oh yes there was a topic, well didn't amazon already have one such device, a Kindle i think its called, but dont hang me up on it, it seems that apple have made their entire fortune on taking old technology and putting it in a fancy package.
also since we are partly here to mock it, http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1928558 , one of the few CH sketches i actually laughed at ^^
I could really care less what the MaxiPad can do. It's not going to stop me from using a notebook which can do everything it can do minus iPhone Apps while also maintaining high portability, decent power, have USB ports, better connection speed, far more computing power, and multitask. And best of all, I don't have to worry about AT&T raping the money out of my wallet through my ear.
As for liking or disliking it, I'll reserve judgement for now.

i think its because they pay for the rights to the books by area, the u.s being one and Europe being another etc etc, and if they generally cant turn enough profit in one area because theres not that many people in the "apples consumer group" demographic over here they logically choose not to include a certain money draining feature, sometimes we miss out on cool stuff, this is not one of those times.DoctorNick said:
It's just something new for them to make money off of since the price of the iPhone has gone down. They'll wait until they have milked the US market dry, then they'll slowly start giving it to other countries, unless they come up with something else by then to shaft all of their current users.
You might spend 250 bucks on books a quarter. you're paying 500 for nothing but something that can store them electronically, though have you done your research? Did you see what price they charge and if they even have the books you need? I hope you thought this thing through.
you are aware there are other devices that do the same thing right? the "ipad" is nothing revelutionary (I think I misspelt that)
Its just apple doing what they do. taking a peice of tech puting "i" infront of it and selling it for a higer price than it should be. not the ipod was nothing revelutionary when it came out, they just marketed it right and then started improving it in its later generations.

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!!Nickolai77 said:MONSTERheart said:

And the reason she is not amused, is well... it's your fault. She'll have you hung, you mark my words!!Nickolai77 said:Edit: This is the Queen when she is not amused
That may be true, but Cadburys is a thousand times better then the Hersheys stuff they have over there.IckleMissMayhem said:
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.
