An "open" relationship with my iPad
Jul. 30th, 2010 07:48 amAre any of you guys nerds? I sure am.
I love my iPad dearly, but I'm thinking about cheating on him. The world is about to be inundated with iPad clones. From what I've seen so far is all of them use the Android operating system, which as you know, is open source (translation for the manufacturer: free).
I was talking to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
danlmarmot about it the other day, and he summed his prediction for these clones in one word, "fail". He's probably right, but I would imagine, at some point, someone's going to make a cool one. Right?
So, tomorrow, my affair begins. I'll be heading down to beautiful Chula Vista, CA, to the K-Mart there, to hopefully purchase this bad boy. The Augen GenTouch78.
(I love how the guy in this video is apparently naked. Then, at one point, he shows his toes, and he has super gross, long toenails. Ew!)
According to slashgear.com, "The 7-inch touchscreen Android slate was spotted in the latest Kmart Weekly Circular, priced at $149.99 up until the end of the month, and will apparently run Android 2.1 on an unspecified 800MHz CPU complete with WiFi and 2GB of storage."
UPDATE: Turns out they don't have it. The kind lady on the phone said I can get a raincheck. I probably will. I want it now, though. Man!
