		<description>Wow, clever email you got there, hoss.

I feel honored to be the world&#039;s biggest fuckhead, it&#039;s an achievement that few will ever have. Anyway, while you sit in your lame ass hateful world, I&#039;m just chillin&#039; out here in California, making money and living the good life.

If you want a netbook, fucking get one. I want an iPad, and don&#039;t need a netbook...I got a slick ass laptop that does computer/laptoppy stuff all the way into next week, so I don&#039;t need a watered down laptop...But a tablet would be really awesome for watching movies, using simple apps, reading magazines and websites.

Thanks for taking the time though to leave a comment. Yours especially left a very precious feeling in my heart.

LOLZZZZZ and Laterzzz</description>

		<description>People who want an iPad don&#039;t need it for anything else. It&#039;s a specialist item, but it is really awesome at the few things it does well, which makes it worthwhile to some people. We don&#039;t want to open spreadsheets, we just want to be able to use the web and apps and watch shows and movies in a very unobtrusive way.

With regards to specialists, remember things like the iPod which has the largest market share in MP3 players. The iPad is like an iPod on steroids, and sure it costs more than the highest end ipod, but you get a nice screen, plus the ability to do most of the things a netbook can, but more elegant in execution.

It&#039;s Apple, you know it&#039;s gonna be very good for a certain group of people, but maybe not you, and that&#039;s cool too.

Optical media is dying...how often to you buy software on optical media anymore? Digital content...music, movies, tv shows, etc. can all be purchased online. It&#039;s better for the environment, you don&#039;t have to worry about getting it scratched. It&#039;s easier to just download it than go to the store to buy it. Optical media has already been dying..I hardly use any optical media for anything these days...it simply is becoming less and less relevant.

But anyway, thanks for dropping by. This is an Apple fan blog, so of course we&#039;re gonna take the Apple side of things. But one thing I learned when I made the switch from PC to Apple, I never wanted to go back to PC.</description>

		<description>Yeah, that&#039;s the whole point of the iPad, it&#039;s less about doing computer stuff like typing or spreadsheets.

It will be interesting to see some of the Android powered tablets too.</description>

		<description>Yeah, but people who have iPads don&#039;t want to use them like computers. It&#039;s the whole user experience that makes Apple products just a delight to use. Netbooks are kinda like janky low-end laptops, which suit some people, but the iPad is like an iPod on steroids. I mean, I&#039;ve got a slick ass laptop that I use if I want to do work, and it would be cool to have the iPad do other less intensive stuff when I don&#039;t need the capacities of a full-on computer. 

iPods are super awesome, and have a large percentage of the digital music player market. Besides, look at all of the other companies putting out similar tablet devices that run on Google&#039;s Android. The Tablet is a new form of computer, and they&#039;ll definitely be here to stay. People may hate on them now, but I am pretty sure they&#039;re going to become pretty commonplace in a few years. 

Of course, all of the major computer manufacturers will get in the game, as well as new companies. Apple of course will try to capture some of that market, just like HP and Dell will probably do too.

And about flash? Dude, flash is shit on Apple products, and they&#039;re all too stupid over there to fix it, even though tonzzz of Apple users use their products. I know exactly why Apple doesn&#039;t want it on the iPad...it&#039;s gonna mess stuff up. 

You may have to pay for your content on the iPad, but it&#039;s much better since you don&#039;t have commercials, and it&#039;s super easy to buy them, plus streaming video tends to be kinda janky. I&#039;d rather just download it onto the iPad, even if it does cost a few bucks.</description>

		<description>Haha, I wonder what would happen if I actually sent an email to idiot@apple.com? That would be fuggin hilarious.

Anyway. no, Apple doesn&#039;t pay me. They don&#039;t need to. They&#039;ve got all of these jackhole kids like me doing the advertising for them for free.

I guess Apple makes such awesome tech stuff that they can invoke this kind of enthusiasm in their users. I don&#039;t see too many people setting up Dell Adamo fan sites...HAHAHA</description>

		<description>Wow, that is probably the most biased and dumbfounded article I have ever read.
Congrats on being the world&#039;s biggest fuckhead, you just explained how it&#039;s not the iPad that&#039;s wrong, it&#039;s just everything else!
Because it&#039;s a specialist, not a generalist, of course.</description>

		<description>I just got a netbook off Ebay for $80, and it can do internet, movies and music, books, and apps/games.

Along with Flash support, more storage, multitasking, camera and multiple USB ports for connecting other devices.

Why buy an iPad, which costs 6 times the price of that netbook?</description>
