The new-er iPad.

[SizzleBolt]

Well apple recently fucked up the hierarchy of their iPads', there's iPad, iPad 2, New iPad.

This is stupid, how can they continue the series without always referring to gen number? Buy the NEW NEW NEW iPad (8th gen)

Makes me cry.

[BumFodder]

The people who buy ipads are probably too stupid to care.

[Crazywill]

Is that the official name or just a working title?

[Mownkey]

This keeps happening.

[Blazejsg]

It's just an electronic.
I don't see why this is worth discussing over.

People buy them anyway, so why bother crying about it?

Official name for the new ipad is "The New iPad" or just iPad in some stores, I guess apple want it to just be a single name but with newer hardware, that won't work however because they named the second iPad 2

Because Apple is one of the worst companies in the world, by several different measures.

Well that's stupid. What are they gonna call the 4th one then? Ipad; the Revenge? The New Ipad 2, Son of New Ipad?

iPad Episode I: The Phantom Menace.

[Swag-in-a-Bag]

I just watched that episode of SouthPark on I-Pads the other day; it made my chuckle

[Boomstick]

As you can see, most consumers of Apple products don't know how it even works.

[yurgenburgen]

Yeah I dunno. Marketing shit.
The people who use iPads deserve to get ripped off anyway.

[MiloBased]

i cant wait for the iFridge

[SubparTony]

Brand New iPad is going to be the best

[SqueezyLemon]

I hate apple, they destroyed the Desktop PC.

Nah.
The tablet/touch screen fad will die out soon enough.
Mark my words.

[Painbringer]

Because the older model gets phased-out and sold to clear as soon as the new one comes out.

Hierarchy? Do you mean chronology?

Yeah exactly, such a waste of money.

[georgesodini]

apple products are like fashion products, trendy.
people will always buy the latest thing just for it being the latest thing.

oh okay.

explains why sales are exponentially increasing.

[BizzarroPMP]

I would like a computer, please.

I would like it to do everything a pc does but make me relearn everything in an inferior operating system first. Also i want it to be more expensive. And if you could make it so it is impossible to customize, that would be great.

Oh and one more thing, put a big fat logo on it so that sees its a Mac and makes fun of my taste in electronics.

Thank you.

Fixed.

[FullMoonClock]

I think the real question is.....

When can I purchase a Jailbot 2.0?

It's because most people are technologically inept and never needed computers anyways.

But up all the tablets, more PCs for me.

Apparently you don't know what the word "fad" means.

Simpler to use for people who get what they want by pointing and grunting at things.

A mouse pointer serves exactly the same purpose, please think before you speak.

I'm sticking with my iPod Touch 4gen.

Except:

The mouse cursor allows you to select very specific areas of the screen (i.e., single pixels if necessary for what you're doing), which is why we use the mouse for computer aided design and so on. You cannot do anything remotely like this with touch screen.

Mouse cursors don't obstruct vast areas of the screen at any one time. Hands do.

The mouse buttons provide tactile response in much the same way that a computer keyboard does. Touch-screen does not provide tactile response, which is one of the main reasons it fails.

So you're right, apart from those reasons, using a computer mouse is no different than rubbing your fat little sausage fingers over the screen.
