Really? A FLOW chart to tell if you should buy an iPad?
IS someone laughing their @ss off that this got published - or is there a
group of nerdy men who still don't get the joke?

Fairly accurate, I'd judge.

It's as good a way to decide if you should get an Ipad as any I've seen. Although, you could replace "Steve Jobs" with "HP" in the above chart and it would seemingly be just as accurate.

Great way to shill for Apple HP. Awesome coverage. Steve Jobs couldn't have done it better if he'd been the Chief Editor of HP this weekend. If you wanted to be just like the vapid traditional media, you did good.

too cute! No, really, TOO CUTE. I still want one. I'm writing this on a dying DELL inspiron which has never inspironed me. The buttons don't even work now. I wouldn't do another Dell if you gave it to me for free.

Not nearly as amusing as the Bacon Flowchart.

I was kind of dissapointed that somewhere on the flowchart it didn't show you to throw away the first model ipad you bought for the new revamped, twice as powerful with ten new free apps for half the cost ipad II that will come out in the next three months.

Hey, the flow chart worked for me. But I already decided not to even go look at one until they put a regular print wifi driver in it. I also have trouble syncing my iPod with iTunes on my PC. I've had to rebuild my playlists twice. I like sleek, elegant technology, but do not like having to "flush the toilet to make toast" which is what I call it when you have to copy something, paste it into an email to yourself, go open that email on your "real" pc, and then print it.

Now, let's talk iHome where you take this Pad and make it a controller for all the media in the house, security in the house, reminders that speak if you want them to, a TV Guide/remote, weather/temperature access, lawn chemistry/moisture reporter, home inventory recorder, etc.

This one's a no brainer for me. I'm a late adopter.

?!?!?!?!?!? Micro - what?!?!?
I got an HTC Touch Pro phone because we didn't want to switch to AT&T for the iPhone. I'm always (b)itchin' at the darn thing because it's Micropoop based.
Just sayin' - there's a good reason I have always used MAC.
