iPad? iMeh.

When Apple announced the damn iPad last week, it kicked off the various feminine hygiene product jokes and one liners everywhere on the internet, with everyone trying to top each other with the best quip on the subject. There's nothing I could think up that someone else hasn't already uttered, so I'm not gonna even try.

It's basically an oversized iPod Touch, one where people who don't know how to use computers might want (like say, my father). It might run on iPhone software, but fortunately it's not a phone (imagine that thing up to your ear; if you thought the banana phone was ridonkulous..).

No word on the price locally, but as usual cannot be cheap one lah. More so if there's gonna be a data plan involved. I rather get a netbook, but I already have a laptop.

It's one of those things if kasi free I don't mind playing with it for a while, but I wouldn't want to pay for it out of my own pocket because it's so lacking in so many ways (that I keep hearing on most of the tech podcasts I'm subscribed to) I don't want to bore anyone about them... just look it up, at the very least on Gizmodo. I also don't trust myself to NOT drop, ding or scratch the thing.

I wonder if Maxis is gonna be the exclusive dealer of the iPad as and when we get it here... (maybe?) I'll want to mess with it for a while if I see it in the resellers here.
