I want one. I just want it. Do you? I have my mum to blame when she bought me Vultureman over Lion-O for Christmas 1987. All my impulses and hasty decisiveness stem from that day. Atari Lynx. Mini Disc. Bermuda shorts. As a consumer, I've made worse decisions that Hitler invading Russia in the winter. It's out on Friday in the UK. I'm thinking - jailbroken and filled with nice apps and a few racing games - I can justify it as an expensive toy after a pretty exhausting and emotionally turbulent few months.
To be honest.
I don't really give a fuck what you think about the ipad. A much better thread question is what consumerist manna have you paid a fortune for which turned out to be a worthless piece of shit - and also, what childhood trauma makes you try and fill the holes with useless junk?

No. I'm going down with the captain on Bebo. I really should though. It seems to be a running theme in my life - continually spitting venom at things and then becoming obsessed with them. Prince, TV, capitalism, happiness.

I fell onto my bike as a child and hurt my lil hoo ha ( pussy - whatever )

So I think that's why I spend too much on ...

I'll settle with the last option.

Seriously though I had NOT thought about that accident in YEARS til this thread

Mach said:

I had the same accident did a jump on my bike and no one told me the seat fell off till I hit the ground and sat

I am happy and fulfilled with my baby iPad (iPod Touch) which filled my tragic void.

Plus I'm period-free and don't need no pads!

oh yeah and I'm broker than shit

It is kind of true. I did fall off my bike trying to impress a girl and a scraped the hell out of my face. I did have an eye patch for a week and a huge scab over my face. Lucky for me it was a very even road rash so it healed up smooth.

1. None. I'm a cheap bitch who only likes to spend money on food.

2. None, because I'm made of stone. And kickass!

Fucking come somewhere and drink a BEER with me already.

I love my ipad, and I'm sure you will too. I use i for work. I tossed my printed product catalog for the items I make and take it with me to client meetings.....and watch videos on the back porch too.

I'm sure I will lust after the next generation is released next year that is better and cheaper and have some buyers remorse, but such is the case with all electronic products.

Anyway, enjoy your new ipad

so in 5 years time you'll be a drunken slaphead swearing at the footy on TV, then?

All it is, is a really large touch jeeez

I doubt I'll get one. I'd probably buy a mobile phone before an iPad (or is an iPad a phone?), and I'm not going to buy a mobile phone.

This is worse than when Prince stopped using curse words.

my dusty Betamax pwns iPads daily!!

I used my netbook for

web browsing
music
email
watching videos

Lighter and fater, the ipad does ALL of those things just as well if not better WITHOUT ever having to wipe it clean because of some spyware or virus I can't get rid of. Also there are a lot of useful free or cheap apps availabe for the ipad.

For me it's just about replaced my netbook, I rarely use it now.

** not having flash for the 2-3 websites I would visit is a negative but not even close to being a deal breaker.

I checked it out.

What Apple/Jobs need to do is, put a camara on the iTouch!

Atari Lynx?

You certainly must have a knack for choosing the wrong product.
