Hahaa I do not own anything of Apple, childish of me I suppose but
I think it's sheer global domination puts me off. I love my
creative Zen & have no desire to own an iPad. You need to buy a
seperate stand for it and that's more money - ridiculous.
Saying that, my sister was going to get one, which totally matches
the article.
Oh dear - looks bad for me. I haven't got one, or even my own
laptop. I'm not normally interested in technology. My mobile is
basic and for emergencies only. Yet for some reason I find myself
thinking of the iPad with a smile on my face.
Maybe this could be the start of a whole personality change, and
less dangerous to the ankles than stiletto heels. - Apologies to
most of the male section of the population who dont't understand
the importance of that.
In fact, I quite fancy the idea of being egocentric, rich etc.
Think how much more confident I'd be round the supermarket. I'd
soon show all those..... (Excuse me while I wander off on a strange
dream.)
Hmmmm. Shame I'm too skint to afford it. Do you think the prices
might come down in time for Christmas?
More seriously, I can't help feeling the article entrenches old,
worn-out stereo-typing.
I love Stephen Fry so I am saddened by this. Having put an ipad on
my wish-list; I am beginning to question myself! Sorry, but I don't
fall under the description of an ipad owner! I'm poor (at the
moment), always go out of my way to help someone and am not really
interested in business and finance. You have to admire Apple for
consistantly stepping outside of the box, and always encouraging
their designers / employees to come forward with any ideas, always
taking them seriously. Good article though. :)
Steve Jobs should have made enough money from the iPod, which has
resulted in almost every teenager in the land being unable to hold
a conversation as they have the damn things permanently plugged in.
In an inverse Dawinian moment a couple of months ago I grabbed a
teenager by the arm to stop him stepping out in front of a car. He
was oblivious to all and I hold the iPod responsible. He still
didn't speak, just looked at me for a second or two, then
left.
Now this! We'll have to pad up the lamp posts like rugby goal posts
to save people from walking into them as they preen themselves
along the street with their pads in their faces.
Oooh Alan, now now. I have a mirror for preening and if I walk down
the street in Birmingham with an ipad it won't be mine for very
long!! Mine is to play with at home or on the aeroplane only! :)
