I-Pad Schmi- pad

Ok, so, am I the only one who doesn't really see the big deal with this i-pad?

"It's the Internet in your hands."

It's an over sized i-phone. It looks stupid.

"You're only saying that because you don't have one."

I have a computer. It's actually a Mac Book. I'm one of those semi- recently converted. I love my Mac Book. I wouldn't claim it to be an extension of who I am, but it has made my life somewhat substantially easier. I don't see how the i-pad can do that for me.

"You can surf the web."

I can do that on my computer.

"It has 3G."

Doesn't the i-phone have that as well?

"Yeah but...the i-phone is too small..."

So you've gone with something bigger? I don't know, it doesn't make sense to me. I still don't get what the big deal is. Stephen Colbert put it perfectly: "You can surf the Internet on it, and just like the i-phone, you can't make any calls." He boasted as he was showing off his.

The thing is, no matter how hard you try, you're not going to get me convinced.

"But you can read books from it."

Yeah? I can read books from my book shelf too, what else is new? Just admit it. You've been brainwashed. You've forked out a fuck load of money AGAIN for a giant i-phone AGAIN and now you're trying to justify it.

i- pad? i- fad more like.
