Im not a technophobe but i despise how people think because they have an iPad, they have to use it.

Such as people taking photos

they just look dumb.

Well on my way home tonight i saw something a whole load better!!

Although i feel this wont be as good without a picture, but i couldnt get one.

A middle aged man had it on a windscreen mount

using it as a satnav. It looked absolutely rediculous

ahhh, feel better now ive shared that

Here's a picture for ya...

I doesn't look that daft actually, but I guess it'd be worse in real life.

The windscreen is a bit silly, but the latest BMWS have 7.5" screens so not sure why a 10" one is much worse.

I use my iPad all the time, if I didn't I would have sold it.

I'm using mine now but don't feel need to use it as a satnav / camera (other than FaceTime) nor take it with me everywhere!

It's very difficult to use an iPad outside the home without looking like a cunt.

I use mine as a remote (Lights/Blinds/Sky/Tv etc) to read The Sun and play Slotomania. Would feel a right cunt taking pictures with it or taking it shopping, surely a phone or as said a piece of paper would suffice.

My farther in law does this, and it's annoying as fuck driving his car with an iPad stuck in the windscreen.

However, remember every one has different needs...

My father in law has an eye condition, where he's perfectly able to drive a car whilst wearing glasses, but can't see any small details within a 1-1,5 metre radius. Hence, using an iPad was his first opportunity to use a sat nav.

Come again!?

I use mine in trains / busses / cafés all the time.
Much easier to handle than flipping up a 15" laptop and much more useable than a phone when it comes to email, spreadsheets and browsing.

Yes, if you use it as a digital camera, you look like a retard, but that's about the extend of it.

I think he means places like in a sauna, or at a strip club, or in one of those passport photobooths.

Now, an iPad that could replace your sun visor could be cool.
