It is confirmed, Apple haters already hate the iPad.

Apple has just revealed their latest creation, the iPad. No it’s not the one from Mad TV sketch.

A few days ago I read a hilarious post from knice.landing (20 things Apple haters already hate about the Apple Tablet); it somewhat rings true. Apple haters already hate the iPad. It’s not about the name.

Well, you don’t have to be an Apple hater to hate the Apple iPad. You could be a dirty unbathed free-software hippie for example.

Here are some reasons why, and they are real complaints taken from comments all over the Internet:

  • It is not open.
  • It is not open source.
  • iTunes App Store sucks.
  • It is locked in to Apple’s proprietary software.
  • It runs Apple’s own processor.
  • It is not as good and open and free as Android.
  • It has a limited/crippled multi-tasking feature.
  • It does not use nVidia Ion chipset.
  • It does not use Intel processor.
  • It does not run Windows 7.
  • Paul Thurrott said the iPad sucks.
  • Rob Enderle said the iPad sucks.
  • Steve Ballmer said the iPad sucks.
  • It has small storage.
  • It does not have OLED screen.
  • It does not have stylus.
  • Steve Jobs is dressed poorly.
  • What about Adobe Flash? Seriously, does it even run Flash? Flash! Ah ah! (queues Queen song).
  • It does not have real keyboard. (What? It’s a “tablet” computer.)
  • It looks like an oversize iPhone.
  • Battery life is only 10 hours.
  • It is tied to iTunes.
  • It does not have 10 Megapixel camera.
  • It is on AT&T 3G. Why can’t it be with (insert company name here).
  • It is not the one Jason Calacanis said he had. (p.s. Jason Calacanis is an attention whore.)
  • It is $499 – that’s too expensive. Greedy Apple!
  • No front facing camera.
  • No camera.
  • Battery is not removable.
  • The name “iPad” sucks.
  • Netbook is much better.
  • It does not have Ogg support.
  • It does not play Windows Media Format files.
  • It does not have Blu-Ray drive.
  • No free software (this and next 3 from Ars Technica)
  • No installing apps from the Web
  • No sharing music or books
  • We can remotely disable your apps & media

Apple’s “Come see our latest creation.” Live Coverage links.

As usual, a lot of eyes will be glued to the screen during Apple Special Event. This time it would be no different. Apple’s “Come see our latest creation.” event begins at 10:00 AM Pacific Time on Wednesday 27th, 2010

Most of us do not get any invitations from Apple to the Special Event at Yerba Buena Center in San Francisco, thus we can “participate” by going to on or more of the followings:

I’ll add more links as they are found.

The “fake” info:

According to an imaginary source who claimed to be a high ranking Apple Executive that is definitely not Tim Cook, this new Apple “creation” would have the following:

  • 6.75-inch x 8.72-inch dimension, thickness was not disclosed.
  • 6.375-inch x 8.345-inch screen size.

So far, that was all the info given by this all-made-up-mysterious-Apple-Executive who is definitely not Phil Schiller. Remember that the nimber given was not an accurate measurement of the device itself due to some rounding errors.

Apple has been leaking out some fake info and we were foolish enough to report it even though we know they are fake. It will be narrower then the dimension we reported earlier. This we know, the new device Apple will be revealing on Wednesday will have the Apple logo in portrait orientation just like the iPhone. All in good fun.
