I am never going to buy Steve Jobs' recent excuse to leech more money. I've never bought anything with Apple's signature "i" prefix (though I may buy a 160gb iPod classic - Seriously, it's the same price as an 8gb Touch, how does that make sense?) simply for the storage capacity.



This is how I feel. That is why I shall not buy it.

My friend did that with the iPhone.

It was funny. He got someone to cry :p

OT: Apple will never get my money. Why the hell should I buy one of their $100+ iPods when I can buy a $20 MP3 player that does the same thing as an iPod; play music.

Gatti, be honest. Did you just create this thread so you could round up all the apple fanatics here in one place to do one massive group mock for their, lightly put, 'silly' choices?

Well, I made this post because I thought that there would be people here interested in the kinds of games that could be developed for the iPad. I actually reserved an iPad (32GB Wi-Fi model) because I'm an indie game developer and making a game for it ;-P

While The Escapist tends to be way more intellectual and open than every other gaming forum, I usually notice some strong veins of PC elitism time to time. And if those types are more holier than thou to something other than consoles, it's apple products. I know that's a huge generalization on my part, but I'm mostly saying I dont think there's a lot of love for the iPad here.

While I would never buy any Apple product, I do support Apple in it's endeavors as it is trying new things.

However, the iPad looks like a mini laptop without a keyboard.

I don't see the logic. It's as if they looked at a laptop and said 'Right, how can we make this less practical?' Apple have always sacrificed design and practicality for aesthetics and features, and that is why they piss me off.

Well, ever since I got rid of Vista, I've needed a new money pit...

On topic; could you guess what I chose? You couldn't give me one of those.

While I have always hated anything with "I" in front of it, this is the first "I" product that poisons me with a violent spiteful passion.

The touch was nice but this is a bigger version that looks like it will break as soon as someone looks at it. So to answer your question, no I will not be pre-ordering it.

I definitely didn't/won't pre-order it. It would probably have to cure cancer and create world peace for me to justify buying one.

It's not even close to replacing laptops like Ol' Stevie claims. At least not without Flash Support. I'm pretty sure nobody's buying it except Stephen Colbert.
