| johnjohn101 |

| rindolf |
johnjohn101: ah. |
| rindolf |
johnjohn101: I'm incredibly suspicious of Apple. |
| johnjohn101 |

| * Caelum |
will wait for the cheap ipad knockoff that runs Android and can multitask |
| rindolf |

they definitely know how to hype their new products. I get so suspicious of the hype. Nothing ever lives up to that type of billing |
| rindolf |
johnjohn101: yes, I'm suspicious of hype too. |

rindolf the new apple maxipad is out today.. leave it to apple to create a new device with all the cost of a high end laptop.. the performance of a netbook and the interface of a cellphone |
| Caelum |
gooshie: and no multitasking |
| rindolf |
gooshie: heh. |

| johnjohn101 |

| rindolf |
Some technologies were not hyped and yet became very popular - UNIX, C, HTML. |
| Caelum |
there's no amazingly complicated technology involved |
| Caelum |
it's just a big iphone |
| claes_ |
nicely packaged |
| johnjohn101 |
drop it once and it's unusable? |
| gooshie |
...if they just made a cover to protect the screen.. and then maybe because they had like a cover the inside could be the screen and the other part could then be a keyboard!.. that would be cool! |
| johnjohn101 |
gooshie: good thing you have an open mind about the product!! |

..the new apple maxipad... when your laptop is too big.. your iphone is too small and your wallet is too full. |
