Brutally Honest iPad Ad

[stunthumb]

...because flash games are so great.

My cheap and nasty mobile phone supports flash games, and they all suck. iOS doesn't need flash support, not when it has a million apps providing better quality software than flash could provide.

Damn Apple trolling can be difficult sometimes... problem is that people who use apple stuff mostly like it, it's a shame that apple haters can't effectively propogate their hate among apple users... who could give a monkeys fart about what the haters 'think'.

[jordandaniels7]

Bet you feel like an asshole now.



[DaGleese]

heres what i dont understand.... youtube uses flash, but there is a youtube app for ipad....

does this mean that youtube have to compeltely rewrite all their videos to another format for that app to use them?

i think this whole unsupported flash fiasco is just a marketing ploy by apple to sell apps in place of stuff you would normally have free with flash

[DaGleese]

@andpie2 you aspire to be a mechanical engineer? nice!

[WhelenVTXR2]

@DaGleese Youtube video files are stored as .mp4, .flv, and WebM video file formats. The Youtube app on iOS uses either the .mp4 or WebM file to playback on Quicktime or HTML5. Besides, Youtube would not have to rewrite anything. Why do videos look grainy and crappier than when you first made it? They compress it three times for each of those file formats. MP4 is first, then WebM, then FLV. The outcome on a computer is bad because FLV is last to be compressed. Best on iOS because MP4 is first.

[TheTechTycoon]

typical gizmodo

[SaushiMusic]

everyone who disliked this either has no sense of humour, or bought one

[lgnlint]

@SaushiMusic You mean they HAVE a sense of humor?

[MyWeedgrower]

take this video down cuz it sucks

[nicolasibarra84]

Flash? Does that shit still even exist?

[Account0997]

@nicolasibarra84 Yes, and it is very much alive - it is probably the most commonly used format for "stuff" on the internet in fact. I still don't understand what Sony and Apple have against flash.

[123456789imthatguy]

@Account0997 flash can be used by any uploader get rid of it get rid of the people not conforming to apple by making you get an account with apple to use their software flash is saving true knowledge

[Judirox]

@nicolasibarra84 75% of videos on the internet are flash. Youtube is flash.

[1000archangels]

@nicolasibarra84 yeah, and it just happens you are on a flash-based website while reading this, dude.

[gamermusicgt]

So they bought a stolen iPhone don't take it out an the iPad yah sorry prics

[headphonetrauma]

Lame parody. I dislike this.

[mpcordie]

I pad suck !

[GogozRule]

This was Funny until iOS 4.2

[SwimFellow]

Wow. I love how this is completely wrong now..

[nophoria]

Hahaha oh man that was surprisingly funny, ty for making my morning!

[Khari99]

video should be titled: 30 seconds to waste on your life

[votenpormi]

@Khari99 Your post should be titled: 11 wasted words of the internetz.

[IamTheiPhone]

wtf is this shit

[SenorAwesome]

PARODYYYYY

[frackle]

@SenorAwesome Yeah, I'm a sound engineer, and I can tell that this wasn't the original master (chekc the waveforms if you don't beleive me!). Whoever hacked this video, there's some epic fuckshittery going on

[rathat48]

I thought the ipad was dumb, and a waste of money, but then, I used one, I decided to get one after a few minutes (did plenty of more research before getting it of course) You just need to try it for a bit, try the apps.

[N0taBene]

LOL it doesn't have flash!

[KISSArmyMax522]

gay

[dazziola]

wasnt funny at all

[MEareCAT]

iPad is a fucking joke. Anyone who has bought, or is buying that peice of shit is stupid

[johnhmeyer123]

@MEareCAT I can see you've never tried one...Get a fucking life and stop ranting

[gordo100w]

hey - get over it gizmodo - apple have been a***holes about the litigation - but they make damn fine products.

[UnrealGlider]

@gordo100w Gotta admit, they usually do, always making technology smaller, until somebody thought it was a step forward to create a giant iPod :)

[scrpity]

hahahaha this was great

[MGuniverse]

Nah flash is pretty buggy, not needed. Tons of free games anyways.

[joezmad]

Lockerz invites, pm me ur email

[fuel77777]

@joezmad lockerz is a scam.. havent u read the news.. dumbass

[bradzdestroyer]

@fuel77777 haha man lockerz isnt a scam.Lockerz gives you points for buying stuff or watching videos, that you can use for discounts when you buy more stuff.. or the redemption thats super hard to catch. The ex president of amazon runs lockers.. And im pretty sure the company is owned by time warner. Its not a scam.. the redemption just SUCKS.

[letthechaosreign]

ALL APPLE PRODUCTS ARE POLISHED TURDS!!!!!! LOOK GREAT, BUT ARE SHIT!!!!! SIMPLE AS THAT, id rather pay LESS money for something WAAYYYY BETTER than pay MORE money for something SHIT like this, cant argue with my logic, its perfect, i am not a mac

[ShawnB252524backup1]

@letthechaosreign Nah i still love my iPod Nano

[spamalot314]

@letthechaosreign why are you yelling? are you frustrated or something?

[checkchuk]

@letthechaosreign all trolls are hairy, can't argue with that logic, it's perfect, you are a troll.

[letthechaosreign]

@checkchuk you know what else is hairy, your mother vagina, sorry cliche childish joke, but hey, i have to dumb down my humor to match my intended audience.

[cleetus4eva]

Most expensive rectangle ever!

[lrgriffin85]

Shaq has a itouch now

[theCODFATHER1989]

[mrfrosty8172]

When it comes down to it

This has a bigger screen to watch porn

unfortunalty u have to download it first

[nightomen01]

The ipad just a very large iPod touch

[s1437007]

lol - when u become big, u always have someone who jealous and talk trash on u. Just like MS or another. Can't wait til Google beats everyone and then trash bring on them as well.

[AdamKaoru]

This wasn't really funny in my opinion.

[themoviekidownz]

@AdamKaoru

its not meant to be funny, its just the plain old truth.

[CassettePlaya1]

@themoviekidownz Not really because about half of those "truths" have been or will be rendered obsolete and irrelvant. Flash = Frash app, Multitasking = iOS4, Lap = WTF its tablet not a laptop!

[AwesomeHaHaAnime]

@AdamKaoru wow, yea. this wasnt funny at all

[TheRealNubbage]

@AdamKaoru No, it wasn't funny. Now go back to posting 400 times a day on gizmodo and sucking off Jason.

[FredEFuego]

iPad equals Epic Fail & I love apple products but this 1 sucks they need to make the Air more affordable .

[dodow1234]

[iThingTablet]

nice jean commercial. but what's the thing he holds in his hands?

[Robcicle]

[hxo08]

@zippyzee you seem very nice. LOSER!!! YOU BIG FAT LOSER ANYWAY ITS OVER LOSER!!!!!!! Geeze why do all you people have to criticize me about a comment?? The stupid contest wasn't my idea and it's over anyway. You don't know how hurtful those comments can be and it really hurt my feelings.

[lockerzdoeswork]

This is basically an enlargened iPod-Touch....

[Landmarkmoon]

@lockerzdoeswork

yep

[mouthburn]

should have been called "Tampod"

[willard39]

iPad...it just sounds so menstrual to me.

[IBrokeRules1and2lulz]

haha don't forget the same price for a multitasking, touch screen, flash enabled, laptop which is better at everything but gaming

[RedGrobo]

HAHAHAH OWNED.

Apple tards, go waste your money.

[Landmarkmoon]

@RedGrobo

my macbookpro's fine, this is a joke.

Large ipod touch, what a joke.

Go watch Daniel Tosh destroy his iPad

[n1l0c2501]

face it, it's an iPhone that doesn't fit in your pocket.

[roflcoptergoesscisci]

@n1l0c2501 no it is a over sized ipod tuch becous it dous not call people

sory for speling

[themoviekidownz]

@n1l0c2501

ipod, no camera + no 3g (only in upgraded version)

[ollycity]

@n1l0c2501 Correction! iPod Touch that doesn't fit in your pocket. Remember, no microphone, calls, or camera, the last of which puts it below the Touch in features.

[FloatingOnAZephyr]

@ollycity Correction! It has a mic.

[MrPrancinghorse]

@n1l0c2501

That is the whole point of it

[votenpormi]

@MrPrancinghorse Brutally Honest

[Zeke8762]

@n1l0c2501 And without a front facing camera!!

For now, for all you Apple fags!!

[DaFan86]

@n1l0c2501 Correction, an ipod touch that doesn't fit in your pocket.

[dingo596]

@n1l0c2501 ipod touch

[Playstation3GamingHD]

[manikth2]

GENIUS

[xILambyIx]

This is actually a good price for Apple, they are a rip off usually.

(typed from my iPod Touch)

[mitchyy90]

Looks like some one failed 4 years of English lol.

[thanhpluv]

Shut up haters

[IBrokeRules1and2lulz]

i don't get how you can't see that without flash = no youtube

withou multitaking means no music whilst on browser, how its cost a huge ammount that you will have it constatly connected to itunes, that you won't be able to put it in your pocket, that and ipod does most thing what ipad does already ect. worst product from apple to date and by far the most useless in the market today of the past decade, its just like the UMD

[gentleuterus]

@IBrokeRules1and2lulz Youtube supports streaming in H.264, which the iPhone/iPad supports. Also, there is some multitasking in the iPhone OS's native apps. You can play music while doing other stuff.

[IBrokeRules1and2lulz]

well tell that to the iphone about youtube then. because eveyone i know can't watch youtube, do you knw the specs there is no multitasking not use of all cpu core you can run 1 app or thing at a time which means no music and whislt doing anything else unless they changed that

[crzymuslim]

Not that funny

[alienorz]

it doznt luks tht bad..i mean ppl are criticising it alot but whoever is willing to spend wud be just keep it as an xtra tool for show-off , nothing wrong with that tbh. i wud like to spend that 400 on it

[RafasRapidReds]

It's annoying that these adverts make it look slick, everything is one touch away, when it's never the case!

[hxo08]

@murrymurrymurrymurry at who? The video or my comment?? Cuz I'm 100% serious.

[hxo08]

@Transitus you're a big fat jerk.

[zippyzee]

@hxo08 die in a fire spammer fagface

[Transitus]

@hxo08 : You and your friend can eat a dick for posting this bullshit.

[murrymurrymurrymurry]

lmfao

[SteWaWa1234]

omg what next r they going to come up with ,an i-tv?

[CrustyBoogie]

They have one of those...

[Str1cker]

no joke, i think they have that.

[mushroomchrisn]

or stick a tv on the ipad.

[lolatyourmother]

i love the ipad

[investined]

Doesnt matter what you all say the Ipad will be sucsefull. There are thos of us whom need this alot more then an ipod or iphone. If apple does it right and adds the features you all are complaining about then it will be bigger then the ipod. As for the phone aspect enough we get it, the piont is not to make phone call but surf the net with alot larger screen then a few inch.

[italy430]

so the only thing this guy could think of for dissing the ipad is it doesn't have flash?! .... ya ok buddy, get in line

[dh2fast4u]

Way make it then! I love my iPhone, but they need to add that shit!

[dh2fast4u]

Can I use it to see bangbros videos on the web?? Plus I looks like a big ass iPhone but you can even make calls whit it gay!

[omlp]

no flash so nope!

[Mumblemumble375]

I'm sorry but the iPad's only really for consumers, not someone doing complex film editing or web page coding, that's why it doesn't have multitasking. And no flash? Apple's not the best of friends with Adobe.

[Riece00]

@Mumblemumble375 I thought that was because they didn't include flash in the iphone.

[Mumblemumble375]

Yeah but Adobe and Apple don't get on very well with each other from a business point of view - flash runs crap a lot of the time on macs and adobe can't be arsed to keep it updated for macs

[danthemaniac]

The Ipad is so retarded. Touch screen is shit. It will get dirty really easily and if you drop it you're fucked.

[Grooves09]

well it an't for retards, and it depends what shit you even have on your hands and screen! and if you drop it? mate, who's fault would that be? you of course

[danthemaniac]

@Grooves09 Yeah, the shit on my hands it's your mother's pussy juice. And if I drop it and it breaks, that because it's a cheap piece of crap.

[Grooves09]

Cheap? You can't afford it mate.

and yh my mum's a bitch you can take her as your wife, until she'll cut your dick off with your teeth. i'm a foster asshole

[danthemaniac]

@Grooves09 Yeah you wish you were a foster after I slammed your mom ahahahaha.

[Jetk98]

Its a big i pod touch

[josht97]

ha u all sed it was fake. now look whats out. oh the ipad!!!

dumbasses

[cbrcmovies]

FAKE AND GAY

[Yoxlr30Projuctions]

[01gibson]

[scottyomac1]

Touché 01gibson touché.

[vandal2k6]

Oh dear. I think you mean GizmoNdo? I feel embarresed for you.

[Fishpail]

yeesh what a half assed ad dubbing, like a teenager did it or something.

Come on gizmodo, I know you can do better, why are you settling for less?

[OfficialJumpingBoy]

This isn't as funny as i thought it would be. sorry giz!

[DyingElement]

fake and gay

[xxxmikiexxx]

LOL my grandfather said ipad will replace laptops and alike... LOL yah right...

[SleazyProduction]

This is just a clone of another clone... only with a bigger screen and the name Apple on it... and probably x5 the price it really worths.

[ZacharyX777X]

Gizmodo... Gizmodo...

Wasn't that the site where one editor threw a tantrum over not getting a review unit? Something about a Blackberry Storm 2.

Regardless, I don't give a shit about the iPad, but my God, come up with something better at least. This "joke" just sucked.

[hellobluemoon]

this is a shitty project. and it doesn't even come with a camera!

[Mrxb0x]

ipad is fucking gay, but this isn't really that good of a bashing of it :/

[jnorris441]

gizmodo sucks ass

[PaganDragon98]

@KatieLovingu283 that would be hot if you werent a guy.

[mrvipersniper]

@KatieLovingu283 are you high perhaps?

[haycole89]

@KatieLovingu283

OMG! Like, no one cares!

[CentiZen]

Dumbest project

[Mopjf]

Whoa, I just popped in The Doors album in my computer, and clicked this vid while waiting for it to load, and the album cover flashed at the end of the video.

[ForeignKid00]

people who cant notice its a joke are stupid god its kind of obvious hes not the spokeperson cuz he has a crappy mic mac would have a good mic and this guy sounds like 12 i dont think theyd have a 12 year old spokesperson either

[jedimaster0103]

The douche, Adam Frucci, got my gizmodo account disemvoweled and banned because I said what we were all thinking. I can understand a disemvoweling first, as a warning, but then a ban? Really?

Hell, I'm just gonna read Engadget instead.

[joementum5]

huh, not very good

[c0019107]

this guy's voice is fucking annoying he sounds fucking retarded...

[markdgod7]

well, he did buy an ipad...

[SONiCvsYOSHi]

its a joke ... but nice try.

[TheKnightsofwar210]

Nice! It's the iFail!

[thrillhouse222]

There is a very simple reason why this thing doesn't have a usb port.

If you had one, you could connect to the internet with a simple (and cheap) usb mobile device. Instead you need to pay $130 more.

Also you could have some extra storage on your usb key. Instead, they want you to pay $200 more to upgrade from 16gb to 64gb.

[zombyw00f]

fail.

[juanramoz2]

Fake and gay!

[1990banks]

lol this was hilarious

[zath73]

You sound like a retard

[SuperFuriousAnger]

@zath73 he sounds like a retard because he's playing the role of someone who wants to spend $500-829 on an ipad

[thewordupbro]

[PC4Free]

haha :)

WANT WINDOWS 7 FOR FREE WITHOUT TORRENTS? CHECK MY VIDEO!

[jediganesh]

Adobe flash is THE most worst piece of web application ever. There seems to be unanimous consensus on this in the programming community. HTML5 is the way to go. If a bad app spoils a devices performance, would you blame the app or the device. Most often, the people blame the device. Hence Apple have decided to stay away from this rather archaic technology. Your video might appeal to people who dont understand the basic reasoning for certain design decisions.

[WillSyrett]

@AirsoftTor I use HTML5 to watch these videos.

[vandal2k6]

Flash works fine for me, always has. Maybe you're just stupid.

[LordViczerez]

Well deserving of the two star rating it's earned.

[YrOnimuS]

great :D

[pubtor]

oooo

[devilfish360]

well this sucked

[lowtone10]

[MEGAFATBOY]

Look i hate apple, but from gizmodo? They report on apple everything, apple patent, lawsuits, EVERYTHING

[eggy15]

Wow, can't believe this was on Gizmodo. And I don't even like the iPad.

[RedeemingLight]

Gizmodo Fail. This video sucks.

[Ryguy1450]

how did this make Gizmodo's youtube? Dumb.

[pelayostyle]

AHAHAHAHA the HP Slate is going to murder this piece of shit.

[pigeon7777]

LOL

pretty funny lol at all the angry apple fans

[BiznessMan]

I laughed. Especially at all of these butthurt Applefags crying about it

[AndrewNoNumbers]

Great video. Copyright flag in 3.. 2.. 1...... Comcast presents to you the new Xfinity, faster internet, more TV, better phone!

As things get dumber it gets harder to joke about them.
