First Ipad post

[Stupid Fitz]

Pretty fracking amazing.

[OK_Cat]

does it have flash?  that's the deciding factor whether i get it or not.

[Stupid Fitz]

No flash.  Read a bunch of stuff about people scrambling to make html 5 (have no idea what that means) to be compatible instead of flash.    Still pretty elite.

OK_Cat won't buy one until I know I can watch streaming video on it.

Laptops are cheaper, dude. Can do everything.

[OK_Cat]

Laptops cheaper than an iPad are most likely crap, fwiw.

I like everything about the iPad except for the lack of flash.  Love the size, convenience.

Its garbage.  You idiots would buy a rough ridin' pile of dog crap if it came out of that homo steve jobs' ass.

[OK_Cat]

yeah, we get it, you don't like macs.

i hear you and im in no hurry to get an ipad (im typically not an early adopter adn i have an iphone) but chances are the ipad and iphone will never do flash (mac is anti flash) but it can stream video using html5. sites like youtube, vimeo, dailymotion, TED.com, reuters, cnn, cbs, flickr, national geographic and more. basically the success of the ipad will force places to also use html5 to stream video. also netflix will bring their streaming service to the ipad but i think its through a app you will download

heres a few links if you are bored

I'm looking at some idiot using one right now.  He looks like he's in Turbo-Happy Gay Land, smashing his fat fingers down on that sleek touch screen like it's a gigantic NES controller.  I'm angry that people can afford such frivolous toys.  I can't wait to get one. I'll wait for the 2nd or 3rd generation.

Laptops cheaper than 700.00 are crap?  Apparently you do only buy apple products.

[pissclams]

All ipads cost 700?

[steve dave]

Have you taken it into the bathroom? 

[Jeffy]

What a waste of money.

[ew2x4]

All ipads cost 700?

Considering you're paying $200 for just storage, and that storage gets you no where near what a laptop ships with, it's a pretty fair comparison. Even at $500, there are some pretty good laptops available. To think otherwise is completely ignorant.

so the answer is no, not all ipads cost $700.  glad we were able to clear that up.

You weren't asking me. I was interjecting my opinion.

[pissclams]

it was an open question, glad you were able go help get it answered and clear up any misconceptions.

[Stupid Fitz]

Answers all questions so far:

Yes, it has been in the bathroom 
Yes, it is elite 
Yes, it does anything I need it to do 
Yes, money well spent   

[ew2x4]

which version did you get?

[Stupid Fitz]

I got the 16.  I don't have a lot of stuff that I really need to store on it so 16 was plenty for me. 

[kitten_mittons]

All ipads cost 700?

No, but all ipads under 700 are crap/pointless.  the ones for less than that are for idiots.  700.00 one is for slightly less idiots that have more money.

I don't understand the point of one if you have a laptop that works.
