The birth of iPad and it's mission

The legendary of iPad
Remember fairy tale "Snow White"? There was hint of how apple will affect the world......
Can't live without it?
We all grow up with fairy tale, so we believe the magic of apple. At the end, will we be iBroke?
iPad unveil - 6 boxes of manga:
1. People can't wait for it
2. Huh? what is that?
3. Announce the price, where is the people? HAHAHA

Comparison between iPad and Netbook:
Old Steve said "The problem is, netbooks aren't better than ANYTHING". But looking at the chart below, I still think iPad still closer to Ten Commandments.


iPad production:
See how iPad being make. First, take an iPhone, then roll it over with street roller. Alright! big fat iPad.The problem here is the flatten iPhone looks more elegant, but the icons very confusing.


With the introduction of iPad, we would think iPhone should be retire. However iPhone should be rename to keep it alive. Let's name it iPad Nano. The advantage of iPad Nano is it can put into your pocket and it can make phone call! So what is the advantage of iPad then?

Summary
Anyway, old Steve always bring us great product. So he should looks like this:

Finally, with iPad starting from $499 to infinite, there is a lot of Benjamin Franklin for old Steve/Apple.
Summary of summary:
This is the end of 3 posting of iPad jokes (I hope!). People still going to line up to buy it. Who care about iBroke? You can take along your iPad down the street and pretend to make a phone call by putting it near to your ear. Other people still will "wow" at you!

The truth of iPad

Bang! Apple new product always have very big impact. iPad also have its impact. But do you know the truth about iPad??????

The fact:
Honestly iPad not as portable as iPhone, functionality lack of Netbook and Laptop. Anyway, all these still can't beat the portability and functionality of Vibrator. HAHAHA.


The history:
Some nice people on internet put up some comparison between iPad and Ten Commandments.From the comparison above, Ten Commandments that Moses got is actually an iPad. Archeologist should prove it! HAHAHA.

Apple iPad - hot hot hot

I can't help it, this is too funny. I found a chine website making fun of iPad. The stuffs they making fun should be available (or originate) else where, but I am too lazy to find them out. I will just translate them here.

The pre- and current-live of iPad:

Cost of iPad:
This is the chart of cost of making each iPad. This is a knows secret what...... Most of the cost not coming from R&D or producing the product.

Pre-life of iPad:
Actually pre-life of Apple has connection with ancient Chinese empire. The Qin Empire already using Apple's product. They also brought their Apply product into Qin Emperor's tomb to avoid boredom for thousands of years.

iPod Fans:
True fans of iPoad

iPad this life:
iPad is originated by the design of using 4 iPhone, but somehow iPad still can't multitask. (why? why? why?)

The trend:
If iPad is the bigger iPhone, then this year Mac book should bring you the same surprise? See prove below
Big empire:
Chinese like anything that is big. But we don't know that old Steve also like it too. From iPhone to iPad is just the beginning. Slowly we will notice the "taller than you" iWall and then the "taller than Lady Liberty " iMountain.


Original intention:
Okay okay, lets not do too much assumption on future of iPad. Actually we are requesting to remove the keyboard on the Macbook, that is! But how on the earth it become a big fat ugly iPhone (can't make phone call also)?
iPad real application:
Because of big screen of iPad will break easily. Use it on bed also will scare of dropping it. So an mechanical hand is very important. Human will become big fat lazy bum eventually.

iPad real application 2:
The big fat screen looks like a induction cooker. Good for student use for steamboat.

Summary:
Dunno how to explain. Never mind. :P

Chocolate that is longer

Alright alright, I am no fan of phone with customized OS since I got myself on WinMo. I like to customize things, like what I did with my HTC Touch (I turned off the Touch Flo, use TouchOne and S2U2). Anyway, it is good to have free phone! Nuffnang is having a contest for top 3 most creative posts to win an LG Chocolate phone (BL40), what can I lose? I could give it to my wife, she wanted to change her phone, but we couldn’t find a reason yet, because her Nokia 1600 still kicking, hahaha.

Anyway, let’s see what this longer Chocolate has:
- 2G (including GPRS and EDGE) and 3G, Bluetooth
- Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g (smart phone with no wifi is a dump idea, hohoho)
- 128 x 51 x 10.9 mm with 129g (it is long lo……)
- TFT capacitive touchscreen, 16M colors (WinMo currently still can’t go to 16M colors)
- 354 x 800 pixels, 4.01 inches (very flat screen lo)
- S-Class Touch UI (Mercedes? :P)
- Muti-touch (like iPhone lo……)
- Dolby Mobile sound enhancement (er…… Dolby on the go? How good is it when you at wet market?)
- 3.5 mm audio jack (very good)
- 1.1 GB internal storage, with extension via microSD up to 32 GB
- 5MP camera, 2560 x 1920 pixels, Schneider-Kreuznach (how to pronounce this???) optics with LED flash
- Second camera for video call (phone without second camera is a fake 3G phone, okay?)
- FM transmitter (interesting, music player for my car?)
- Got GPS! (But how good is the map support/update?)
- TV out (HD or not?)

Geek, check out the spec here:

So people want to be stylist, go get one.
Nuffnang, give one for me for my wife as valentine day’s gift, okay?
