Happened just the other day but it was an extra weird exchange.
I say, "no, not an iPad. This is a touchscreen Sony e-reader with E-ink display." I show him my nice monochrome PRS-900, like I'm Vanna White. He says, "so how much does that iPad cost?" "Umm, no idea. Like I said, this is a Sony e-reader." |

I had it happen a bunch the last week or 2. Yes, before that was "nook thingy" and before that Kindle. Then some woman I work with saw a Cool-er being advertised on the HSN and asked me if my Sony was a Cool-er. Sigh.

An easy response is to look at them, give them an arrogant once-over, arch an eyebrow, then turn back to your reader and say with thick sarcasm and condescension, "yes, it's an iPad."
Hint: Don't do this if you already have an iPad. Or rather, I should say, STOP doing it if you have an iPad. Last edited by LDBoblo; 05-30-2010 at 09:59 AM. |

Oh boy, this happens to me several times a day when I use my Kindle DX at high school. I tell them about my iPad that'll be in the mail soon.
