Me, Her, the Boy and a Dog
Also, I founded the GoFightWinVT Tumblr, so if you're a Hokie, give it a follow. And, feel free to check out my Project 365 Tumblr.
WANT: Apple Mult-touch Mouse
1. Someone who has an iPhone and a Laptop (Apple or PC) that uses the computer for work and is not an Apple Fanboy?
Nope, don’t see this person dropping wads of cash on something that doesn’t replace what they currently use to surf the web or read the newspaper. This is the category I fall into.
2. Someone who has an iPhone, but doesn’t work on the computer all day?Maybe, but if this person has an iPhone and likes to surf the web on the iPhone, then why buy an iPad? Especially since the iPad doesn’t make phone calls or has a camera or fits in your pocket. My wife falls into this category. I will ask her tonight.
3. Someone who does not have an iPhone, but does log a decent amount of hours on the computer?Maybe, if this person is in the market to buy a personal computer. Otherwise, if I had budgeted a few hundred dollars to spend on a personal gadget, I would pick a phone over a tablet in a heartbeat.
4. Someone who doesn’t have an iPhone, and doesn’t work on a computer all day?No, it’s obvious this person has no interest in gadgets.
5. Apple Fanboys?Yes, because Apple’s sh*t doesn’t stink (sorry couldn’t resist, but it’s true)
6. Gadget freaks?Yes, and that’s totally understandable.

The iPad might be an awesome product. I hope it is. I just don’t see how it fulfills a need of the average person who can afford Apple’s products. To me, it just cannibalizes their other products.
My main beef about the iPad is the marketing video on the Apple website. Some of the introductory sound bytes present the design of the iPad as revolutionary. The design is a ripoff of their best selling product ever and the name isn’t even original! How can that be revolutionary?
What do you think? I’m thinking it’s a bigger version of the iPod Touch. But, I like the 3G option! If I had an extra $639 laying around, I’d get the 16GB version with the 3G.
Did you ever stop and think about this?

Hey iTunes, you need to fix this $#!^. It happens every day I’m in your store.
Please, please, PUH-LEEEEEEASE can I get one? PUH-LEASE!? I’ll be your best friend!
The all-new iPad 2 will be available on March 11, 2011! Same price, $499, but 1/3 thinner, .2 pounds lighter and TWO cameras (one front, one back).
I tried reading it all the way through, but then realized I actually have a life. They need two check boxes:
- I have read and agree to these terms and conditions.
- I skipped all the legal crap that scrolls endlessly and even had I read it all the way through (and let’s face it, no one does other than lawyers and watchdog blogs) I wouldn’t understand half of what I was agreeing to. But, I’ll pretend I’ve read it, check the box and wait for aforementioned watchdog blogs to sniff out the shady crap you’re inevitably going to pull. Facebook… I’m lookin’ at you.
