iPad owner gets booted by Microsoft Store employee.

[JMH]

One user on YouTube decided it might be funny to take his iPad over to the Microsoft Store, but shortly found himself confronted with a Microsoft Store employee and security.
The iPad user was showing off his device outside of the Microsoft Store to a gentlemen that was interested in the product, when he was approached by a Microsoft Store employee. As the video resumes, the user in the video describes what happened. The iPad user was given a notice to stop showcasing the iPad in-front of the Microsoft Store immediately.

If Microsoft could do their marketing as well as Apple, they would be even bigger.

Two apple related stories.

Last night I saw a new iPhone commercial where a guy is shopping, and has apps to do various things, like scan labels etc. Every feature they showed was virtually identical to what I can do on my Android. Yet people equate iPhone with smart phones.

On Android Forums, there is a thread that discusses the iPhone. It seems that many people with the iPhone never load an app. Also many people who go into a store to ask for an iPhone have no idea that there are alternatives.

As far as the iPad goes... Instead of iPad they should have called it I.


Take a second, you should be able to figure out why.

Another jerk-off makes a You-Tube waste of time video. Then he goes to Starbucks and gets an overpriced yuppie drink. If he wants to market the IPad let him lease a spot in the mall like the real stores. And these guys get to procreate and vote. What a waste.

In this case, I think it's a worthy thing to make fun of. it's not really a tablet computer whatsoever...it's just a touch screen web appliance. They seem way overpriced compared to netbooks which offer way more functionality for far fewer $$'s.

what a pointless video.. the guy didnt even get kicked out for advertising an Ipad, he got kicked out for filming it in the mall, thats why the bit of them getting kicked out was cut

Soon after man was captured on video using one of the new iPad baseball apps. His ipad battery died only after 2 1/2 hours of use, so he finshed the game in real life. YouTube - Brand new ipad getting smashed by a baseball bat Just kidding. Fabe

You do realize that's like smashing a brand new $600 diamond ring within the return period because when you rubbed it against your car it scratched the glass?

Apple is great and all, but the iPad left a lot to be desired. I wouldn't spend the money on one. HP has a new iPad alternative coming out called Slate. it has all the stuff the iPad lacks.

Apple is a very smart company in that they dont want to put all the features in one product. it allows customers to be satisfied, yet still want to buy the next product. This is getting old though, Apple wont make money on this business stratedgy for too much longer. (or maybe they will... who knows....)


HP Slate to cost $549, have 1.6GHz Atom Z530, 5 hour battery? -- Engadget

honestly, most Apple users I know are some of the most arrogant people on the planet. Don't get me wrong, not all, but most are because they have this sense of elitism that they own a Mac and thus are more progressive/cool. It's like the 2000's version of being anti-establishment, most of which is just for the sake of doing it.

The problem I have with the iPad is that essentially, it is an oversized iPod/iPhone. Really it is! There is no way on God's green Earth that this is going to replace laptops by and large.

Yes, absolutely right; why pay a premium for about half a computer? Only Apple-philes can answer this question.
