From that link …

Steve Higgs said that when he bought his third-generation iPad on Sunday, Apple should have told him “that in 48 hours it would be outdated.”

What a bizarre position to take

Apple fans are hilarious.

“The fanfare of Apple’s announcement of two new iPads Tuesday quickly gave way to backlash from consumers who say the short life span of Apple products is becoming wearisome — and expensive”

Twits. Nobody’s forcing them to buy anything.

“Many were irked that they had just dropped $500 on what they thought was a cutting-edge tablet, only to watch it fall to near obsolescence Tuesday.

Boo. and Hoo.

“I bought a iPad 3 in August and definitely feel cheated,” Phillip Briseno posted on this newspaper’s Facebook page.

How absolutely awful for you.

Twit.

😀

Please tell me they don’t self-destruct when a new model comes out?

Congrats on buying iLad a low rez iPad Mini.

Just hope he isn’t too gutted when it’s updated in a few months to the Retina version.

Rule of thumb = NEVER buy a first generation Apple product.

P [waiting for retina…]

“only to watch it fall to near obsolescence Tuesday.”
