A quite humorous video has popped up on YouTube since the iPad was launched last week. All credit goes to ‘midnightblade’ who has cleverly dubbed a clip from the 2004 German film ‘Downfall.’

It discusses that the Apple product will become a failure, nothing more than an ‘oversized iPod Touch.’ Please be warned, content of the video is of an explicit nature and in a ‘tongue in cheek’ manner. Please do not view if you are easily offended.

It does not have multi-tasking, no camera and most importantly it does not include ‘Flash’ but this is the in-between product of the iPhone and the iMac. The first generation of the iPhone missed key features such as the Camera but this was soon put into a later edition.

I will still be purchasing an iPad on launch, it may not be the finishing product just yet but once Flash is finally included in an update, I think this will revolutionise web browsing and multimedia viewing. A key words Steve Jobs used was ‘intimate.’ I could easily find myself browsing the web on my knee in front of the tv or grabbing it within a client meeting when needed or for the secretary to use it as a calender and meeting log. Fast and easy to use.

It looks more comfortable to a desktop or laptop to use and as easy as an iPhone. When you have a laptop resting on your knee it feels like you are carrying out a task that is clerical and ‘work like.’ The iPad will be more fun, surely???
