“Apple” is becoming the new “lingua franca”
This is the beginning of a new era. The iPad is the future of human and technological interaction. In a few years we will look back at the seismic impact that this product has had on a wide swath of different industries and see a completely radically different personal computer landscape.
Ha ha – take that Korea! Blame your Samsung overlords. Maybe you’ll get iPads by summer ;b
samesung will be glad to sell the an almost-sort-of iPad now.
Enjoy using it to make your life and this world better.
We are having such an amazing tool, welcome on board, “The New iPad”

Interesting how the reporter says Apple has captured not only the Tablet market but also iPhone being the number 1 phone in Japan.
So much for Japanese hating iPhone as per this article from Wired in 2009
http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2009/02/why-the-iphone/
It’s missing a beleaguered gesture from monkeyboy CEO. Where are the free jonas brothers tickets?
The iHaters are foaming and freaking out today. Running amuck about Android is already winning market share. Yet they can’t figure out why apple keeps winning with usability and satisfaction test. Or why the media snd real journalist give glowing reports on Apple products. They can’t even accept the fact that people are willing to pay for good quality products for a real innovator in the industry.
“Ano, sumimasen. iSheep desu ka?
Hai!
(reporter pointing to crowd) Asoko ha motto iSheep desu yo ne.
Hai, so desu.”
Lousy interview. Hey, I thought the Japanese only bought Sony tablets. Too bad Wall Street isn’t watching any of the consumer queuing videos or maybe they’ve decided that the lines aren’t long enough.
Samsung is so sad today.
Boohoo.
Samsung: Soooo screwed.
