And those that said this stupid hygiene product was a threat to the Kindle, Amazon just released a free Kindle app for the thing (and all the other mac toys).

Amazon looks pretty scared with this move, huh!

#3 It has a bitten apple on the back, that’s why.

#5 macfans, that’s what they were not only thinking but counting on. And you know what? They won’t let their god down.

#11 It was very good indeed. Specially when the globe said even he could do 2 things at once.

#12 Of all the comments you’ve ever made, this is THE most macfan statement you’ve ever made. Poor fanboi.

Yep. JCD is a paragon of computer knowledge when it comes to all things Mac.

#25 He was just underestimating the power of the macfans. They have the power to see gold where a turd is.

#27 That’s all you got macfan?

Because we can formulate a lame joke about a subject, it stands to reason that the subject itself is completely lame.

And people didn’t start using the mouse until 1991. His prediction was spot on for 1984. Still in 1984 and apple brings up that add, then here we are and all apples

#25,

And the iPhone, when it cost $600 dollars was a failure, and it was a failure again when they lowered the price to $400 (and it was such an embarrassing failure at that point, Apple had to refund to people who bought it at $600). It sold a little better at $200, but now that it is at $100 and is priced to compete with the free with service phones, it is selling like hotcakes… Because as a free with service phone it is a pretty awesome phone. But they still only have a fraction of the sales that RIM has in the “smart phone” segment.

And then there is the embarrassing trick that Apple had to play last year by calling the iPod Touch a phone to try and make it look like it sold better than the razr phone in first 18 months…

And all the breathless announcements about the app store app don’t seem to make up for the fact that almost all the most downloaded apps are rss feeds that make up for the broken mobile Safari.

For example, check out the video of the presser, when Steve got the BLOD (blue Lego of death) when he tried to browse the NYTimes.com web page.

Just look at the iTunes store top apps. All three lists are filled with games, which reveals the iPhone for what it is, a toy. And the iPad is a toy as well.

That’s what makes this device so funny. Here is apple selling a video game console, and they are uncomfortable with that role, so they never skip a beat while hawking their video game console, to the point that they don’t really show it off as a video game console…

Don’t get me wrong, I think Apple will sell 20 or 30 million of these things over the next three years. I only ask that mac fans stop pretending that it is anything but a video game console toy.
