Hitler is Less Than Impressed with the Apple iPad

The iPad has been receiving mixed reviews. Some see it as a breakthrough. “Like holding the future in your hands” is a quote that’s been used a lot. Others who thought it would encompass more of a Mac computer feel were a little disappointed. None more so than Adolf Hitler.

This is a parody that has been ripped off way to many times for everything from WoW to Burger King. But this one is very well done and has Hitler raving about the lack of a camera and Flash support. Also, he’s not too pleased with the 3G restrictions to the much shamed At&T network in the US. He also doesn’t see the new ‘iBooks’ store as an alternative to the Kindle and pretty much calls it an oversized iPod touch.

Hey, maybe he’s right on this one. Check out the video here.
