I can't believe people are surprised by the fact that apple would sell a product for twice what its worth. But the press around this thing just goes to prove a point most of us have been making for a long time. All the apple fanaticism really has nothing to do with the product its self. Apple could sell a dog turd and people would run out and buy it and tell all of their friends how apple revolutionized the dog turd industry and that they are all idiots for not owning one. Apple loving morons are lining up right now to put down however much its going to cost to own this thing with no idea what it even does. Hell, apple denies it exists. It just goes to show, the consumer as a whole is an idiot and just shops the brand, not the product. Maybe they will be interested in this revolutionary new product:

FOr a device that is just a rumor, who's release date was a vague whisper and itsexistence  outright denied by Apple, everyone sure has a solid opinion. I'll believe it when I see it. You have all succumbed to the reality distortion field if you think you know anything about it. But I like the guy who says the TechCrunch is better and half the price when that device has yet to surface.

 So would you rather have Pegasus or a unicorn as a pet?

ok what give a few days ago MAXPC posted a story http://www.maximumpc.com/article/news/cnn_thinks_apple_tablet_will_be_best_thing_world

 

and in that story apple said "Apple, in fact, denies it exists. "  i'm begining to think apple dosen't have a fraking clue whats going on.  Steve is a fraking dumb@$$ if he thinks a device like this will sale for that kind of price.

 I'm going to wait and get the Crunch pad device when it comes out for $200-$300, not apples way overpriced POS. i would rather pay for quality over a name"Apple".

  I wanted a tablet PC to read PDFs in bed. I figured the Apple Tablet would be a good choice. With that kind of price and that long a wait, I think I will just buy a cheap monitor with long cords and a wireless mouse (take the stand off natch).
