Re: Apple expected to unveil 'Jesus' tablet today
I read this article on Yahoo about it and some guy was like, "I don't even care what it is, I'll buy it no matter what the price."
We've had the PC versus Apple debate before, but maaaaaaaan, I didn't know it had gotten to that point. Insane.

Re: Apple expected to unveil 'Jesus' tablet today
Yeah that is insane considering it's rumored to be $800 - $1000 right off the bat. I never understood the need to be an early adopter. I'll just wait for the inevitable price drop with the release of the new and improved version in a year.

Whatever this new thing is called looks pretty good, but MAN that is almost as much as one of their laptops.

Re: Apple expected to unveil 'Jesus' tablet today
I don't have any desire to buy this thing any time soon. A big reason Apple charges these prices is because of how maniacal their following has become. People are nuts for Mac. Hell, if you can get away with charging what they do, then why not?
I love my iPhone, but those Apple stores are just stupid. $35 for a plastic case?? $20 for a thin piece of plastic film to cover the screen?? LOL. Gimmie a break.

They should give a complimentary "Jesus tablet" to Colt Brennan.

Re: Apple expected to unveil 'Jesus' tablet today
iPad? Really? Sounds like a tampon. I can't really see what's innovative about this thing. Bill Gates was doing this tablet thing 5 years ago.

...and secondly, of course Bill Gates was doing it... ...but doesn't it look sweet now that you are paying 3 times the price?

Re: Apple expected to unveil 'Jesus' tablet today
It's a giant iPhone basically. Looks cool but I'll wait for the price to come down before I bite.

you have to buy adapters to even plug something USB like a camera into it.. no HDMI out.. no true MULTI-TASKING... i'm not paying 500 for something that I can only run one full app at a time, running the same OS as the iphone, so no go on flash once again.. it should be running OS X or a slimmed down version of it plenty of other issues with it |
