iPad launches on April 3rd, pre-orders begin March 12th


If you are retarded enough to want one of these here is the announcement.

iPad launches on April 3rd, pre-orders begin March 12th.
16GB WiFi only — $499
32GB WiFi only — $599
64GB WiFi only — $699
16GB WiFi + 3G — $629*
32GB WiFi + 3G — $729*
64GB WiFi + 3G — $829*

*3G data plan sold separately. Yeah you have to pay a monthly fee for that 3G data plan.

So there you have it. $829 for the top of the line GIANT iPod Touch. The reason I don’t call it a GIANT iPhone like most people is because it doesn’t make phone calls. I’m sure fan boys will be lining up around the block to get their hands on this for sure. I’m also sure that after about 2 days of playing with it they are going to say “What the fuck did I just waste my money on”. I mean I’m sorry what the hell can this thing do that my iPhone can’t? I understand the need for a tablet MAC/PC but not this thing. Maybe I’m old school, but I don’t see a consumer need for a stripped down tablet or a netbook? I have my phone which can do email, calenders, internet, and a few apps I need while I’m out and about. I have a desktop for hardcore work and gaming and a laptop for travel, work and when I just want to sit on the couch and surf. Please tell me where this thing (or a shitty little netbook) would fit in my life or yours? I mean really? What void is this filling? Say what you want about Adobe Flash, but if this is suppose to be a little web thing that checks email and does some basic computer stuff I guarantee you will be pissed when you realize how many sites use Flash. Forget about porn, Hulu, or most TV station sites and watching shit like that. I bet people are going to be like “fuck it, I’ll just grab my laptop because I want to watch last nights SNL”. I can already hear my phone ringing with people saying “Aaron I got an iPad and I can’t watch Hulu, I think it’s broken can you fix it for me?” ;)
