***ATOT smashes an ipad on launch day at the Apple store telethon***

[LikeLinus]

The guy actually does it for every console launch. He's like first in line, buys the console, goes to the middle/end of the line and smashes it in front of everybody.

He's done it for iPods, iPhones, Xbox360, PS3, Wii and others. The websites don't seem to be up anymore.

He wasted all that money breaking shit that he couldn't pay his hosting company!

You'd be better off buying Apple stock and then sell it on the day the iPads are being delivered.

I have a hard time believing any of that is real since the iPad is still available for preorder.

Assuming someone purchased the 64gb ipad with 3g ($829) and did not pay tax + s/h, they would need a MINIMUM of $920 to recoup cost + eBay + PayPal fees.

They're not going to be in short supply. Nobody will pay you more for something they can get at the normal price from apple and get shipped the same day, dude.

about as much chance as all those suckers did who bought PS3's for $600, tried selling them for more, and wound up with a huge credit card bill and a bunch of overpriced PS3's filling their closet?

I bought two PS3's at launch and sold the extra for $1000.

The very initial batch of launch systems did fetch good after market prices.

Indeed. You can charge anything you want doesn't mean you'll get it.

One fetched something insane didn't it like near 5 digits?

(I don't know why you'd spend that...)

Original launch PS3's still go for a pretty high price all things considered thanks to people wanting BC.

Don't forget the carrying case:

If someone could seriously organize this, I'd be in for $20. I'd want a credit on the youtube video though.

this is gonna be the ps3 all over again.

What if you already have Apple stock? :hmm:

I should bid every last one of those to $90,000 just for the hell of it.

The iPad is a sham. I can't believe people would be willing to buy one.

to have a real competitor, wouldn't it first have to have a market?
