Forking out money for an iPad 2 is stupid enough.

Save yer dosh and buy a high-end decent laptop instead.

All I can smell here is begrudgery against people who have the money to buy what they want and the sheer jealousy of Irish people bubbling below the surface.

I have the money to get on a plane, fly to New York and book into a hotel and then go and buy a few iPads and then fly back. Do you think I'm going to line up like these clowns? Not on your life!

It's too hard to see what's going on in the market with my thick-rimmed glasses........................they don't have any lenses in them :pac:

Anywho, next up for Apple...

lil'bug · 14-03-2011 05:26PM

why oh why didn't some one just blast her with piss!!

Spunge · 14-03-2011 05:28PM

She clearly realised anyone who's stupid enough to buy an iPad 2 is stupid enough to buy your place in a queue.

Just on this.
In car phone warehouse the iphone 4 costs more on the o2 350 minute tarriff than the 150 minute tarriff. I was simply informed by the assistant that nobody questions this and just shells out this amount for the device (for the 350 min tarriff).
Can someone explain this?

What about the twats flying in from Brazil and Belgium? Apple must piss themselves laughing at these people.

Some people might drive down to tesco for bottle water, i'd say some little guy in Africa is laughing at those "twats" as well

It all sorta depends how much $$$ you have

this is only a good deal if she considers her time to be worthless

$900 for 2-3 days is pretty good, no?

s3129 · 15-03-2011 03:22AM

if you have the money and you want something now, then why not.

and as for her waiting in queue and getting 900 dollars? im not working, I'd do it. Fair play to her for using the rich.

All the tech in the iPad 2 was available when iPad first came out. Apple rip off to be honest.

Same with every single other ipod/iphone

partyatmygaff · 15-03-2011 07:14PM

Apple fanatics up to their usual antics I see.

I will never understand how anyone could possibly justify paying $900 just for a spot in a line to pay around $600 to buy a restrictive and almost pointless tablet.

I really do wonder what apple would do if that turns out to be accurate.

Nah she'll prob just pay off whoevers at the top of the queue

When i read the title i thought this was just fanyboyism, but after reading the article it did make a bit more sense. The guy who paid for it was an APP developer so he is probably likely to see a good return on his investment if he is in anyway a decent developer as the first Apps to the market for the new device are probably going to sell well. As for the girl, that's a fairly handy way to make $900 in less than 2 days.

Gunsfortoys · 15-03-2011 10:14PM

Iphones are great!

I still wouldn't queue up for it for hours and pay through the nose for it. What an idiot.

keano_afc · 15-03-2011 11:00PM

I remember feeling really smug when the iPad came out. For ages I'd been saying that the iTouch would be really big one day.
