IPad frustration

Filed under: General/News,Technology/Development — mateus at 4:26 pm on Thursday, January 28, 2010

Everyone is talking about how disapponted they are about this whole IPad thing.
 
Then someone sent me this:
 
 
This is what IPad wanted to be when it grows up. :) A real computer. Not a big IPhone that can’t even make calls.
 
Now imagine someone holding an IPad close to the ears yelling: HELLOOOWWW???
FAIL!

 
This Archos one runs a real OS, Windows 7, not a freaking half baked OS that won’t allow you to do anything. And some serious HD (60 GB) so you can really do something useful with it.
And the price, you may ask? US$ 549!
So who in perfect sanity would rather buy an IPad? Steve Jobs maybe? Nah, he is a smart guy, most of the time…

Hey Mateus,

You are a very smart guy…but this post is very deceiving.

The archos looks very cool (as other archos products) but iPad is very very nice. And it yes, it can come with 64GB hard disk.

And it will sell 1000 times more the archos…we can bet ;-)

Really could not understand how such a smart person could have this thoughts.

My 2 cents.

Mateus,

Muito bom o post!
Uma coisa que não é uma coisa nem outra é “nada”.
Quem sabe na próxima evolução aparece alguma coisa decente.
Mas pode ter certeza, os macmaniacos já estão loucos com isso.
