Some one asked me yesterday what is so good about the iPad. Nothing gets me more excited than being asked to describe my newest and best toy to date!
Before long I was waxing lyrical about how wonderful and good the device is. I spoke of how, with the iPad, I literally have the world wide web on my finger tips! How looking up medical information is a breeze especially when your colleague who doesn’t have a smart phone disputes your knowledge on a subject matter. How I could take minutes of meeting and send them off before the chairs on which the participants of the meeting sat on have the chance to cool down after the meeting.
I went on and on and on. I felt like I was an Apple sales person making a sale pitch! I felt like a guru on the verge of converting a new disciple!
The person listened to me with rapt attention, totally mesmerized by the possibilities with an iPad.
Finally as I was winding down my monologue on the iPad, the person looked at me with eyes full of wonders and said:
“Yes! I think I will get an iPad!”
But before I could congratulate the person on the momentous decision, the person added:
“So, which brand of the iPad should I buy?”
*face-palm*.

LoL.. Apple marketing strategy FTW. Its the same with i.e. Milo = chocolate drink. Panadol = paracetamol. Pampers = diapers. Jeep = 4 wheel drive so on so forth.
Not an Apple fan but would still choose the iPad over the Galaxy Tab though.
There is no price for Lulu-ness.
i think this shows that the iPad is so famous that (at least for the person you were talking to) it has become synonymous with tablets of all brands… somewhat like how we call all photostat machines ‘xerox’ or all vaccuum cleaners ‘hoovers’.
Ummm……you seem to have over done the tan in your picture
It wasn’t me in the picture.
ROTFL Jimbo, I’m afraid you’ll never make an apple salesperson.
ahahahahahaahhaah!!!!
too funny! lol…can’t stop laughing..hahahaha
