Apple sells over 300,000 iPad tablets on US launch day

I'm very amused at most of you guys on the forum hating on it actually. I'm not saying you don't have a right to dislike it, but the users on this forum are the only people I know who don't like it

I don't see the point in them? Arn't they just stretched versions of the iPhone but without a phone.. Correct me if im wrong, I didn't research them 'cos I heard about them, and deemed it pointless.
Can someone tell me what is actually does? lmao
btw - im not saying I wouldn't have one if I could! Just don't understand it's concept.

I know more people who see no point in it or dislike it, than like it :/ All the facts and figures, specifications and what not released about it show it to be a pretty boring product, the only pros seem to be a larger screen, and that's about it. Then again, there are alot of... Let's call them idiots or Apple religious believers... who will buy anything with a fruit on it, so it's more than likely the hate mongerer known as Jobs must of got quite a gaggle of idiots when he did his speech about it (I call them idiots, because that speech was pretty stupid One of the reasons I can't take the company seriously anymore. They fail).

It'll be interesting to see how this all progresses.

-videos-

There's videos what hate on England too. Does the fact that someone made a video about it mean England is truly horrible? Anyone can make a video.

It's a big iPod. What's to like?

Ask the 300 thousand people who bought one? I'm not getting one, I'm getting a WVGA android phone instead.

But the difference between those videos and videos about a product is very large. You're talking about the difference between consumerism and culture, making such a comparison is a stupid thing to do.

People hate on cultures because of racial opinions, whereas an opinion over a product is justified and those videos are simply mocking the true facts, not creating hate.

I hate on pointless products, not Apple.

If it ran a modified version on OS X then it would have a point.
