Your personal encounters with iHaters of the new iPad...

In the most hilarious way, I find that there are many in the grassy knoll here at the office that are seething with jealous-riddled hate for my future posession of the "Blessed iPad" (grin).

Things I hear at the office: (feel free to add your's at will!!)

1. It's just a big iTouch. How you gonna carry that thing?
2. It's just another gadget, won't change things much.
3. I heard it doesn't do much more than play music & internet.
4. My iPhone is enough...what do I need extra screen for?
5. I'm gonna wait till the 3rd generation once they fix all the kinks.

Too many more to mention, but I know those folk will be the first in line to see what it can do after it arrives- like a newborn baby! (grin)

Thats nice, welcome to the forums isaac newton!

replys:

1. You mean a slim and damn fast solid state only version of OSX....yep...your point being? At 1.5 lbs and .5" thick it shouldn't be a problem

2. Really no need for a reply there.....that's just ignorant

3. You heard dead wrong...

4. Again...wow...so 3.5" screen on a laptop would be acceptable?

5. My iPod touch 2G does everything the 3G does thanks to a little thing called firmware updates!! We will get to use this thing as it grows instead of waiting until some mythical generation release where everything is perfectly to your liking.

Thanks DG~X...I appreciate you taking the time to chime in & for the welcome!

Awesome gentlefury!!!

Think I'll keep those clever replies on the ready while traversing the dangerous hallways of the corporate workplace! No ambushes here!
