It's nice to know that the masses are idiots who fall for marketing every single time.

An iPhone without the phone or camera or the portability and a netbook without the ability to do anything worthwhile and it still sold millions of dollars.

My opinion of the public has fallen to a new low.


your to cynical. I agree with your post,but I would'nt be that cynical and cold about it.

I forgot to put in that it's more expensive than a netbook+iPhone combo which is where most of all that fall of opinion comes from. The device really wouldn't be so bad if it was $150, $200 tops.

1. iSheep are being herded. they will buy anything Apple makes.

2. still, nothing beats my iphone, no need to buy everything apple brings out

No offense, but those two contradict each other a bit (or agree with each other, however you see it). 

no they aren't. Apple makes some quality products, there's no dismissing that.

 

but to buy ANYTHING that bears a fruit logo is just pure stupid.

 

 

Yeah, so it seems to me that if these 600,000 people believe that the iPad is a quality product, then they're no more "iSheep" than you.

 

hard to know whether a product is 'quality' during launch day of gen 1. ;) regardless how many other people lined-up before you.

It's a quality product compared to a box, but compared to other pads, it's pretty lame.

It is iSheep who bought the pad - not people who've done research into the pad market.

Apple loves milking people for all they're worth.  The sad thing is people love handing over all their money to them too.

It goes to show the value of reputation in the market. If you have a good reputation and brand you can perform much better than others who don't. Since Apple is on the up and up and are releasing groundbreaking products on all sides they earnt these sales with previous good work on the iPhone and iPod ranges.

Theres no point in complaining about it, its not like Sony got where they did with the PS3 on pure hard work alone. Its also not like Nintendo hasn't benefited from the reputation they have built up with their games in previous generations which they have sustained for over 20 years and its not like a game like Halo hasn't built up an excellent reputation for quality inspite what the naysayers have said.



Tease.

There is nothing wrong with the ipad, itouch, iphone ect ect. There's alot of people that have very little experience with technology. Apple products are perfect for them. Apple keeps their stuff controled and locked up to the extent that the computer inept can't really install things that would be harmful to their system. would I buy an apple product? Absolutly not, i like having control over my stuff , But i would definitely consider it for my parents or grandparents.

You know, I have always said that at this point in society there should be a required class in HIgh School senior year on computer literacy. It would solve so many problerms, save companies billions, and probably make Apple go bankrupt. So it's like a win-win-win situation for everyone, and computer literacy isn't really that hard for seniors to complain about.
