iPad haters

I was going through some forgotten notes in Evernote and came across this list of Tweets I bookmarked the day the iPad launched. I remember being surprised at the amount of doubt, pessimism & hostility directed towards Apple (and it’s fans) that day:

  • All I see is another user agent to deal with when making a web app…
  • #iPad looks cool, but not exactly groundbreaking. Here’s hoping you can use a stylus for drawing.
  • Finger painting? Reinvented. Thanks Steve. #apple
  • My greatest fear has been realized… The iPad looks like a $79 digital picture frame.
  • Ipad so far - a big screen iphone? stupid…
  • #apple #useless #iPad really now.. I would have been more impressed if it was running snow leopard. It’s just a fat iPhone/iPod Touch. #fail
  • So, it’s just a bigger iTouch? Seems…lame.
  • Sorry, apple, the iPad is just lame. Even I expected better of you.
  • Wow, the ipad is just a giant ipod. Uses the same cheap OS as well.
  • I’m so confused with the iPad. Why would I want to carry an iPhone, Macbook, and iPad? Smells like another Apple TV/Google Wave tech flop.
