Ha! I knew you couldn’t resist a feisty comment or two… So here I go again. There’s something enticing about entering the dark side of anti-Macness for a while (is that like ‘anti-matter’?) You know you shouldn’t go there, but the pull is irresistible. Like I said yesterday, I am actually a fan of the iPad, and I love mine to pieces. But sometimes you have to treat your loved ones to a few home truths!
Q. Uncle Steve Jobs, the current King of the World, says that the iPad is the ‘best internet browsing experience you can have’. Is it?
A. His Majestic Highness King Steve is having a laugh isn’t he? Touch the screen and the browser follows the link, or zoom in and out of your favorite website pictures. This isn’t the best internet browsing experience you can have! What King Steve should be bigging-up is the touch screen. After all, what Apple’s really done is replace an onboard mouse or external mouse with touch screen connectivity. It’s got nothing to do with ‘the best internet browsing experience’. Besides, how can you have the best surfing without FLASH?!
Q. Isn’t the virtual keyboard just fantastic?
A. No. Apart from its comedy value. If you fancy some free entertainment at someone else’s expense, take a trip to your local trendy bar or coffee house, and watch a young girl with long painted fingernails trying to write an email on her iPad. Hilarious.
Q. Why is it called the iPad anyway?
A. Either King Steve is having a not-so-subtle joke at our expense, or he really is very naive. Surely iTablet would have stopped all those predicable yet still quite amusing references to sanitary towels. Actually iAm getting a bit tired of all these ‘i’ named products. I know it’s all about iBrand iImaging, but iReckon it’s time for an iChange.
That’s it, I can’t stray into the dark side anymore, it’s so funny but it’s difficult to present various views that I don’t actually believe. Mind you, no-one can say that iPad.net doesn’t offer a fully rounded commentary…
