OMG OMG APPLE TABLET ON ’24′!!!!
01.27.10
WHO ARE YOU CALLING SHORT!!?!?!?
Tech geeks are furiously masturbating about today’s unveiling of the new Apple Tablet (or iSlate, or iPad, or whatever Steve Jobs has decided to call it), and it won’t be long until the new product finds its way onto television. Not only will Apple give us slick commercials set to infectious indie music, but we’ll also see the iPad on “24″ by the end of the season. These are tweets from Rodney Charters, the Director of Photography on “24″:
“Hmmmm looks like we may get an iSlate into Jacks hands for Ep 20 getting giddy with excitement”
“Got a bit too excited probably more likely Episode 22 but Apple provided fingers crossed”
I used to have a job where I had to watch TV and record all the product placements that happened (and then write survey questions about them). There were all sorts of data to record, like if a primary or second character touched the product, how long the product was on-screen, and whether or not the product was used “as intended.” For example, if someone drinks from a can of Coke, that’s its intended use. If they throw the can of Coke at someone’s head, that’s not the intended use. Long story short, I want to see Jack Bauer beat someone to death with an Apple iPad.

“I want to see Jack Bauer beat someone to death with an Apple Tablet.”
there’s an app for that!
//douses self in kerosene
I thought he was using it on Monday night’s episode. Doesn’t what he used in the car basically do the same thing?
if i can play nesticle and starcraft on it, then i’ll just look at pictures of it while i sell oranges in the street
Jack will smash it over someone’s head when he realizes it doesn’t run Flash.
iPad sounds like a feminine hygiene product.
I hope it’s expensive!
I’m trademarking “beating their iPuds” for the impending geek response.
*He = Jobs, by the way. Gizmodo is liveblogging, if anyone is after descriptions of an oversized ipod.
He’s apparently calling it the ipad. In other news, retarded.
Ooooh, hour 19 is going to be intense when Jack is in line at a cell phone store!!! Will he buy the insurance? Does he have custom ringtones?
“If they throw the can of Coke at someone’s head, that’s not the intended use.”
Are you tired of those other projectile soft drink containers not causing sufficient damage to get the answers you want?
Try Coke. Because, dammit, we’re running out of time.
