First of all, I’m totally with you, internet, on your iTampon jokes. Like, SO with you. Yes, I know we sound like 8th grade boys giggling at somebody saying “dick” over and over again. But it’s about time we got to joke about our lady parts in a public forum.
Second, I’m with Trude, who said that this video kind of made me want one. However, I take issue with a lot of their way super-mega overzealous descriptions of this TOTALLY UNECSESSARY PRODUCT.
“I don’t have to change myself to fit the product. The product fits me.” Because turning my etch-a-sketch-like internet device upside down is so straining! SCREW YOU LAPTOP.
“You push the power button and it just comes alive.” You mean like anything with a power button? You mean.. like my toaster? MY TOASTER IS ALIVE?
But if you wanted to buy me one, I wouldn’t mind. No, I don’t know when I became a fanboy.
I’ll get right on that purchasing you one over myself. Hold your breath.
It’s aliveness is relative…as in, your toaster is alive because it actively changes the state of bread into something quite more delicious, TOAST. The iDouche is alive because it changes YOU from a standard fanboy/girl into a full fledged ego-maniacal self important douche that can’t do anything all too impressive with your new awkward technology. (I say awkward because instead of having an iPhone in your pocket, or a Macbook in your laptop bag…you now have something too small for a bag and too big for a pocket. Congratulations douche you now get essentially carry 5-900 dollars worth of tech in your hands at all times. Don’t put it down, because someone can walk by and slide it into their newspaper and walk away without you noticing…)
Seriously cool that they took an eReader, and LCD photo frame, and an iPod Touch and jammed them into one item, but it’s hardly a huge breakthrough in technology.
It looks cool and all, but I need a mouse. I can’t do what I do online without one and it hurts my fingers/hands to use a touch pad/screen all the time. I’ll take my laptop over one of those any day. In fact, I won’t even by an iPhone (which I think I’d love in all sorts of fantastical ways) because of AT&T. LOL
I feel like a laptop and a smartphone is the preferred setup. The iPad is a middle man, but doesn’t do some things either a smartphone or laptop does. The question when buying one is if it’ll replace one or both devices. Because, if not, having a third thing to truck around is ridiculous to me. I don’t doubt it’s a gorgeous, well-made device. But, really it’s a big toy.
I completely agree with Sean. I also know myself well enough to know that I would drop it within the frist 48 hours of having it, and then the screen would be cracked and I would be angry that it was cracked, and I will spiral downward into drinking cheap whisley straight from the bottle b/c I just broke my brand knew, incredibly expensive, unnecessary toy.
Hey now. Lets not rag on drinking cheap whiskey from the bottle.
