As you can see I was disappointed by yesterday’s announcement, let alone how the name was ridiculed on Twitter later on with the #iTampon jokes. Anyway, I was expecting all this because of all the media buzz. Have a great day! icon smile iPass And here’s a song for you (that I heard on the radio yesterday and reminded me of the old days icon biggrin iPass )

    Hilarious! :D Love the roller pin allusion. I am REALLY REALLY REALLY enjoying your blogging. That’s saying something when I work with blogs :)

    I’m disappointed :-(
    What about iBooks? is’n it too cool!
    Ya3ni I guess I agree that the name is silly, but the device is cool!
    Not expected != Not cool :-)
    Ba3den 7aram Steve Jobs ;-(

    Great post.. Nice way to flatten an iPod touch :-)

    But on the subject matter of this post I would say: not so hasty. I view this as a process of incremental innovation. I think Apple figured that laptops do their job really well.. so why change them and re-engineer MacOS X as a complex touch interface. That would be a “bolt on” solution. They went for a cleaner solution. Now, app developers can (and will) surprise us with what this device can do.

    I think we’re all stuck with “why isn’t it like a laptop” mindset, and we still have not seen all the possibilities of the new device.

    Lack of a camera is inexcusable though!

    Just one point guys, this “thing” ain’t able to run to apps in the same time … you can surf on the web and have a chat app in the main time … common … even the cheapest cellphone can do two things in the same time :)

    I was disappointed as well (Popcorn prepared as well)
    Though you should admit its a nice product nevertheless!

  10. Varun

    I just loved your post !

    100% agree with you.

    Did you see the promo video .. So much of marketing for the product in the vid too .

    Good products sell themselves . Bad Products need marketing :P

    i can’t believe it!!! hahahaha… yesterday i was like this product is mam3ous using el shawbak. and lyoom i seeeee that you illustrated the same! hahhaha so cool so weird!!!
    love ur work :D
    p.s.: i was showing my friend in class one of ur illustrations and he was like ANH she’s my friend! and the guy was johnny abi allam :)

  12. rouba

    very smart as always :)

    I wasn’t on twitter when all this happened & I was shocked today to learn iTampon actually trended!! I watched a few videos on YouTube and yes, unfortunately it does look like one big iPod, which I already own :P will I buy the bigger version? mmmh… lol

    (I won’t lie, hubby was thinking about it… but he hasn’t yet read anything & I have a feeling the geek within him will be quite disappointed :P )

    Even though I own most of their products, call me a sucker for also getting the iPad. Just package it in glitter red, and make it useful while facilitating my life, and I’ll give them my clothes.

    did you know that :

    “Steve Jobs est fils d’une mère américaine, Joanne Carole Schieble, et d’un père syrien, Abdulfattah John Jandali, professeur de sciences politiques, il est né à San Francisco en Californie. Il fut adopté peu après sa naissance par Paul Jobs et Clara Jobs vivant à Mountain View en Californie. Ses parents biologiques se marièrent un an plus tard et eurent un autre enfant, l’auteur Mona Simpson.”

    Oh I have just noticed the new – what do you call it – bookmark for the website. You know, that asterisk. Most appropriate.

    AMAZINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN…..
    BUT THE FUNNY THING IN ALL THIS IS THAT I ACTUALLY LIEKD THE I PAD
    OOOOOOOOPS :-)

    Everyone I know with some common sense had the same reaction. This is sillier than the Macbook Air.

    Dear Apple, please page me when you make a version of this that lets me run multiple apps at the same time.

    it’s just that yesterday my friend tagged me in a photo for the ipad, he is a mac freak, and i hate mac, weird, if u consider the timing :D totally agree, lets make it general as u’ve said…

  19. Rabih

    Maya do you seriously sit like that? crossing your legs? Coz i’m the only person I know who sits like that on a chair :D I even sit this way at the office on an office chair, which takes some acrobatic moves to achieve :D
