Social Media’s response to Apple’s iPad – Brilliant

January 31, 2010 By 4 Comments

Last week Apple and it’s ruler Steve Jobs revealed the iPad, a nifty over-sized iPhone-esque computer-gadget that some tout as the end of the Amazon’s Kindle. Many of you have seen the Apple gushy PR video on the Apple site. There is not a response to that video. College humor, a great bastion of off-color comedy and parody, released a video mocking the iPad and I must say it’s brilliant. College’s humor’s video just proves that nothing gets by the Social Web. If you design something that can be mocked or critiqued it will be — guaranteed.

Check it out. What are your thoughts on the iPad? Are you going to buy one? Is it a great idea or a stupid one? Post your thoughts in the comments.

    Haha thanks for sharing! I just wrote a blog (of a slightly more serious tone!) on what the iPad style of computing could mean… I can't say I'll be buying one anytime soon though, as it's not gonna replace my laptop or phone.

    Here's the link – http://www.siliconbeachtraining.co.uk/blog/appl… – be great to hear your opinion.

    were there really no women involved in the development of the name and product? MadTV was making fun of this name years ago http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsjU0K8QPhs
