The Wonder that is iPad!
Apple has been cored so many times it isn’t funny any more. But the Apple Faithful not only keep it afloat, but laud it like it really is something special.
The latest farce centres on the Apfel iPadt which we recently said resembles a big iPhone.
“If it’d been released by any other company, it would’ve inspired a certain amount of coverage, mainly in the trade media. But it’s yet another Apple thingie so it’s FRONT PAGE NEWS !!!”
As p2pnet observed, “Every time Steve Jobs breaks wind, it’s reported as a major event by the lamescream media”.
We clipped the pic on the right from a great story in Britain’s Daily Mail which carries other equally pertinent imagery.
“Criticism of the iPad centred on the following features – or lack of them,” it says, to wit:
- No multitasking
- No camera
- No Flash
- Touch keyboard
- Lack of input
- Closed applications
- Small screen
And the name.
“Some female bloggers wryly commented probably didn’t have any women on its marketing team and ‘iTampon’ quickly became a cheeky trending topic on the micro-blogging site Twitter,” says the Mail, adding:
“A YouTube clip from 2006, now enjoying a fresh surge of popularity, shows the term ‘iPad’ has been ridiculed for years. In the comedy skit shown on the Fox TV channel, two women discuss an Apple period-maintenance device called the iPad.”
Is Steve Jobs worried?
Not. The marketing and PR was free.
But even without the lamescream press corpse, the iPad will be fine for it is written:
“Yea! And Apple shall Triumph! For no matter what the product or what the cost, the Apple Faithful shall buy. And buy. And buy … ”
No need to stay tuned.
