Remember the first generation of ipod? a big chunky brick with small drive and not super awesome sound? Thoughts like that make me wonder about the people who buy the first generation of ipad. I'm not a tech geek, but it seems like there are a bunch of things that the apple people are holding out on so they can put them on the future gen versions and give people a reason to buy another one, like a flash on an iphone. I've been one of those people who were excited for something like this to exist now that I've seen some of the detail I have a few problems; no full HD playback, no usb port, no flash video player, no camera (or flash), it can only run one app at a time, and no phone capabilities (hook up a bluetooth ear piece and talk while you're using it; if people are going to call it a big iphone might as well give it that option), it could have had a stylus option with handwriting recognition for using it like a paper notepad. The lamest thing about it is of course the fucking name; there was an internet rumor that it was going to be called the iSlate (way better), but instead they went for a pansy play off the iPod. Come on apple, this could have been some serious Star Trek TNG style shit; instead you put out Voyager.
If this were on any other show somebody at apple probably would have spoken up at the product naming meeting; but it was madtv so I nobody watched.
