After the release of the iPad yesterday and due to some Apple fanboys raving SO much about the iPad, I thought I’d share my opinion about not why the iPad is a useless gadget but how people in general are not only shallow with people, but with technology as well.
Why did you go Transformers? Why did you go see Jennifer’s body? It’s probably for most of you, how good looking you think Megan Fox is. I personally liked Transformers and I thought Jennifer’s Body was alright, but I’ve always liked Transformers.. I hear SO many of you say you’re going to go see it specifically because of Megan Fox and most of you can agree that she’s not a very good actress. She is sex. That is what she portrays in every movie she’s in. But! I’m not here to rant about Megan Fox.. Continuing on..
Why is everyone is amused by Macs? Why do all these fanboys want an iPad even though it’s literally just a larger iPhone? Because it’s cool, that’s why. You can do everything that the iPhone can do, but bigger.. and guess what? It looks better. It’s extremely visually appealing. Everything looks fantastic, the interface of the calendar, the photo gallery, everything.. it’s nice. But functional? Yes, it functions just like an iPhone that can’t make phone calls. But yet, every fanboy wants it?
Apple didn’t get this much hype prior to OSX. Why though? Everyone back then still stereotyped it as an excellent machine to work with for video & image editing (I’m not going to get into that).. Because it didn’t have all these neat little transitions, it didn’t look nice, it wasn’t “fun” for the user to use.
Conclusively, am I saying I won’t ever get an iPad? No, I’m sure one day when it’s cheap I wouldn’t mind buying one to play with. Am I saying it’s completely useless to me? No. I’m sure it would be nice to hold this thing in my hand in bed or on the couch just lounging and wanting to view a website or something. But is it worth $500+ just for me to do that? No, not at all.
