While the hype for Apple's iFad has not turned into
sales, it also seems that some of those that were dumb enough to buy the
overpriced keyboardless netbook are trying get rid of them.
Since the iFad went on sale on Saturday Craigslist has
200 entries from people who bought one trying to offload them onto another
victim. We guess they need to sell them before word gets out how
gruesome the gadgets are.
One seller said that she had stood in the line with all
the Apple fanboys and got really excited “with the clapping and
everything”. However when she got the gadget she wondered why she had
done it. There are 9,813 results to be found on ebay but some of
them are resellers who are flogging new ones.
It is possible that people are falling for the hype and
then wondering what the hell they are actually buying. Once they get it home
they are not sure if it actually has a use. (Sure it
. sub.ed.)
