Guess what, rock-dwellers? The long-awaited iPad was released today, a device perfect for upping your social status and absolutely nothing else! I’m kidding, of course (kind of), but the new product has been kind of a big deal. Big enough to sell from 600,000 to 700,000 copies its first day, at least. So if you were one of the many, many people to spend all week salivating at the feet of Steve Jobs, here’s what you missed on Knox Road. [Image courtesy Cnet]

*Pick of the Week*
Music for Kids Who Can’t Read Good: “The Tallest Man on Earth” Fresh off a stint of being played earlier today on Knox Road Radio, Kristian Matsson, or The Tallest Man on Earth, was profiled over at Music for Kids Who Can’t Read Good. And yes, I know he was profiled there on March 31, and he was played on our radio show today, but…whatever, dude. What am I, a clock?
I think that the iPad is the biggest scam of the 21st century. Especially as far as music is concerned. (unless of course your only interested in reading about it and listening to web-buffers on headphones). It’s about as portable as a college textbook, so unless one carries a man-purse (as they say in europe) I simply don’t get the hype.
But thats just my shabby opinion. So go get your own!
