Apple has just announced their latest game changer, a magical new device powered by a special chip made of fairy dust and unicorn piss - the iPad. Admittedly when I first saw the pic of The Steve holding one up, I thought it was a parody - something about the way everything except his smirking face and the iPad fade into the background just made it look like a photoshop:
...yep, Jobs really is a parody of himself these days. The guy should retire and look after himself, instead of propping up the Apple cult. Seriously, what is he spruiking here? An oversized fucking iPhone:
Except of course it doesn't make phone calls, so I guess it's really an oversized iPod Touch.
Adobe were quick to point out that the lack of Flash support might put a stop to enjoying some of your favourite online content:
(No shit. While they've since covered that fourth screenshot with an apology, I haven't seen anyone try to say it's not true!)
...in fact the feature list really did didn't stack up that well to some previous tablet technology:
Once again, Hitler was devastated:
But perhaps most worryingly, the name. Oh the name. Three years ago people thought the name was the stuff of parody:
...yup, well done Apple. You caught up with Mad TV. Seriously, MAD TV thought the name was a joke... and you ran with it anyway? Nice one.
Still I've no doubt thousands of the mac faithful will buy them anyway, and it is still kind of nifty if you don't have an iphone or netbook already. But since it doesn't support ebooks outside the US, if you were going to buy one instead of a Kindle you might be in for a bit of a disappointment.
