    Well, what if I said I recently attended a meeting with a four star USAF general; and him and his staff all had iPads?. I did and they did.

    Oprah has a reality distortion field that even Steve Jobs would be jealous of! I don't recall anyone crying at MacWorld when he unveiled the iPhone.

Go wrap yourself in the Android and Windows blankets and get all warm in their brilliance.



    For those others who are here because we celebrate Apple stuff, own Apple products and stock, and generally want to see what Apple is up to, good for us! This is a great story, about a great product, and it's going to be a great Christmas after all.



    Whom are you talking to? It seems that you speak to some one but you did not specified.





    Those people are hysterical....

    Or, I get it. They now can make iTunes purchases from iPad and listen to Beatles.



    And Oprah definitely does not read much (e.g. books) from this glossy screen...



    Do they (hosts of such shows) speak only about popular things or is that Apple who comes to them to make it popular?





    Disclaimer: I am very positive about Beatles going digital on iTunes.

    I don't recall him giving away iPhones to everyone in the audience, either. He's not big on freebies (minus developer previews of OS').

    Yes, right now it's evil. Don't you read the memo?

    Maybe it's because Steve jobs didn't give away iPhones for free at MacWorld?

    Women love the big O. They'll be reconsidering the iPad if they haven't purchased one already.



    My mom's reluctance to take the plunge has just been shattered. Turns out Oprah is more influential than I am.

    Like her or not (I don't), Oprah is probably the nation's number one tastemaker. What she says matters to a whole lot of people.

    Not big on it, but he has done it. I got my first copy of iWork at the MWSF keynote where it was introduced (or was it Keynote? -- hard to recall). Another year he gave away mice.

    Here's an idea, if you're serious, Oprah: Donate 275 of them to Detroit schoolchildren next.

    Good choice (really).



    By the way... each Studebaker comes with a Samsung Galaxy Tab.

    If it's a Commander Starlight Coupe, I'd take the Samsung and leave it in the trunk.

    I’m not sure where the iPad was last week, but it’s in 6 out of the top 10 spots right now.
    LOL Check out the ePad, currently at number 11. For another $150 I think I’d go for an of the Galaxy Tab.

    Is that why you used Apple's products?
