Default BlackBerry PlayBook vs Apple iPad

As my friend who sent this to me said, some opinions should not be heard.

Not sure if that is funny or not, would have to see they guys IQ first.
What is that orange thing around his neck?

If he is of normal IQ then the video belongs here. If he is not then the video really shouldnt be posted here.

The collar to his golf shirt?

I think he's just got a speech impediment which makes him seem slow...and it was technology focused so I posted it here. Sue me.

Whens the PlayBook coming out? I would think it would best be compared with the upcoming iPad 2 (or whatever its called) since that should be around March?

edit: i didn't watch the video though, so I dunno the context :P

This so badly reminds me of the iPhone 4 vs HTC Evo video that Best Buy Employee made with Xtranormal.

"I want the iPhone 4. I want the white one. I need the wifis and the bigger GBs."

Except that that video was actually funny and the HTC Evo was more than a tech demo. I couldn't get more than 0:55 into this video. I don't really understand the "rant" videos on youtube. Very strange.

I agree with you. I didn't make it more than a minute in to this one either. I'm just talking about blindly buying Apple products because it's Apple. Comments like "it's an iphone, it has apps so it's better" and "i don't care how much it costs, I want it" are some of the many people spew out when talking about their need to get the iPhone or iPod Touch XL.

Coles notes anyone?

I got a minute in and stopped. I don't know if this guy has a speech problem, something mentally wrong with him or is nervous in front of a camera or what, but I have a really tough time listening to people who "umm and uhhh" a lot and take a long time to form a coherent thought. This why I don't watch a lot of these types of videos on youtube. Same with a lot of amateur podcasts. I appreciate it when someone takes the time to plan their video/podcast out and speak in a manner that is tolerable to listen to. Most people can't turn on a camera/microphone and produce something that isn't garbage without at least some forethought.

It's kind of like the magic trick video in the funny pictures thread. It's like people feel that once they've recorded something they musst post it no matter how bad it is. Or they post it without watching it first.

The only other possible explanation, I think, is that this is a level of irony/satire so subtle that I just don't get it.

I think the guy's in a mental hospital, and this was just some sort of rehab exercise (seriously).
