Tell HN: Lets admit the iPad is an iLetDown
I'm a big Apple fan, have all kinds of Apple products from the Mac Pro to the iPod shuffle. But I gotta say I feel kinda wanting after this mornings announcement. Lets take a look at whats iWanting:
-no background apps
-no osx
-no root
-no camera
-no multitasking
-itsy bitsy baby storage
-no removable media
-no gps
-no fcking camera
-no fcking background apps
Lets face it, this is a larger iPhone 3Gs with no calling plan. And the name is iLame, as my friend said "sounds like a feminine hygiene product, ipad maxi for the large model".
Suck it, Apple.
- darkxanthos 17y agoIt sucks for developers to use for personal use to a degree... but it is ripe for the elderly and anyone else intimidated by computers. It's a great casual device. As much as it may hurt us to admit, most people use VERY little of their computers.
- Psyonic 17y agoIt'll be interesting to see the uses people come up with, but so far I'm not terribly impressed.
