Apple Pisses Me Off - The Ipad 2 episode

Some of you might remember my post on the iPhone vs. the Blackberry. I am still wading my way through that ocean, but in the meantime, I've come to enjoy my iPhone more than I did. Though it still REALLY annoys me. Like, really? I need to charge you this often? You need to have a better battery life dude.

Anyhoo - this week Apple released the iPad 2 less than a year after releasing the first one. And they've revolutionized the thing. Insanely. Like, it makes the previous iPad look like a digital photo frame. Now it comes with a magical cover that puts it in and out of sleep mode, it folds into
a stand that works at two angles, and it attaches magnetically.

Check out the video here: iPad 2 Video
One particular line really pisses me off right at the beginning:

"I can't think of a product that has defined an entire category and has then been completely redesigned in such a short period of time"

Um, yah. Because that dickish. And it makes people bitter about purchasing your stuff.

Anyhoo, it's faster, it is thinner, lighter and has 1o hours of battery life. It's pure madness. Like, if I was one of the people who bought an iPad in the past year, I would be pissed. "Luckily" I have no money. Excuse me for a moment while I go cry.

So Conan, being the brill ginge he is, realized that Apple was being kind of dickish and wanted to give people a laugh about getting screwed over after spending $500.

Look at us! We're techies now! Ok, we're not. But I am definitely a nerd.
