iJustine rocks!
I dont understand the crazyness of some here.
I don't think they understand it, either. It's just some compulsion to criticize, which is completely illogical. Maybe their shrinks will tell them why they're so bitter?.
It's the anonymity of the internet. People post things that they would never say if they were face to face with someone.
"I'm not a big book reader, the ones with the pictures are sorta cool, but the ones with all those little squiggly lines arranged in rows, are like, soooo booorring".
You're a wise woman, no mistake
why thank you. I try to be honest. it's all I can be.
whee! thanks
PS - yes. I just said "whee"
You're welcome.
Well, she is not a tech blogger not she portrays herself as one. Most of her audience aren't geeks and to them the review was perfect.
Wow, so glad this showed up in my google alerts lol. Made for a good laugh.
A lot of little baby jealous fan boys that I touched the iPad before you and that I actually do in fact probably know more about technology than most of you combined.
Sad that you have to take it out on a forum. Waa! Want a tissue for those tears? I'll mail em right out to you.
..to those of you who were nice to me, I appreciate it
i have a feeling this isnt her since this account was just made
To be honest folks, none of us can disprove that iJustine is actually her on MR, and to be fair, why would you even care, unless you'd been rude to her, and are now trying to use the whole "it can't be her" excuse to cover your rudeness up.
Justine has as much right as any of us to do a review, and I shouldn't think she even cares what a few pathetic people on here think - she has many thousands of fans!

How was this a review? A review of already known information with a annoying presentation is more like it lol.
The thing is you would have to be a complete moron if this ditzy chick knows more about technology then you.
Oh, so it's all about being competitive then?. You couldn't stand that a female could possibly know equally as much or more than you about technology?.
I wouldn't say that is offensive, but what I would say is... don't be so naive. Anyone can PRETEND they know more than another person online, but I'd like to bet that Justine is not just a pretty face, and very clued up, from what I have watched of her adventures in all things tech. Why should she be any LESS so because of her gender?. Okay, granted, men usually prefer tech far more than women, but making sweeping statements like yours, just has the ironic outcome of making you seem the more ignorant one, not Justine, but I am probably wrong, you're probably a tech wizard!.
See where I am going here?. Noone can prove they are any sort of "genius" online, but why would you wish to knock them down, instead of giving them the benefit of the doubt, and also the benefit of being someone you do not know, ergo are not qualified to judge, hmmm?.
Did you even watch the video? Why would I give any credit to a person that doesn't understand the basic concept of a review. She states that it's a review when it's not. She clearly doesn't understand much about the device (as seen in the preview) and I felt insulted watching a pretty face telling me about a device she clearly knows very little about.
I'm willing to bed that she doesn't know more than anybody here about technology. I've watched her videos, it's filled with content targeted at ditzy 13 year old girls. I fail to see where she deserves any credibility when it comes to tech-knowledge.
And I still completely fail to see how it was a review.
If you feel her content is aimed at 13 year old girls, then this begs the question... why are you watching her videos?. That's like complaining that you don't enjoy "The Care Bears" movies or "Barbie". Have you even stopped to consider that maybe she is just a happy person?. There are no law or limits regarding how happiness and vitality are expressed or represented. If that is too far outside your cynical view of the world, then noone can fix it apart from you.
By the way, putting the word "clearly" twice into a sentence, doesn't make your point fact, it just further reinforces that you're desperately trying to clutch at straws, attempting to find a reason - any reason - not to like Justine OR her content. I watched one of her videos once, when I was in a bit of a low mood, and found her enthusiasm rather infectious, and felt much better afterwards. Say what you like, but you can't tell me that being happy and passing that happiness on is a BAD thing.
I would suggest that you simply click on this little thing, seeing as that is what it is there for, and will magically solve your problems with iJustine:
Hope that puts your silly complaints to bed.
I do not know about using the term "true entrepreneur" that is a bit strong.
I have no problem with iJustine first time I heard of her, she found a good niche and is doing well it seems, I suspect she does well on account for her cute looks less on the content. There is a large population of nerds/geeks where the last time they saw vagina was the day the were pulled out of one. Money to be made hand over fist getting those folks on board. I do not understand why some folks are so angry over her video.
This should be a psychology thread. I don't care about why people are "angry" with her, they're just throwing tantrums for no apparent reason, and should be looking closer to home to find the problem, not blaming someone who is evidently happy, content and confident enough with her life to share it with others!.
I like her - I like her content - there is no accounting for taste, but there often is for bitterness and sheer stupidity.

I watched her video because it was in the OP's link because it was claimed to be a "review".
I really don't care about how enthusiastic she is, she simply hasn't demonstrated anything that pertains to a review of the product and you can't prove otherwise.
It may not be a review, but it is hard to dispute that she is in a better position to give her opinion on iPad than most of us... and besides, who cares?. She enjoys making the videos, and a LOT of people enjoy watching them.
Are you going to keep on complaining about it not meeting the standards of a "proper review", or get on with life?. Where is your YouTube video about iPad, hmmm?. At least Justine has made some effort, regardless of quality - you didn't pay her to make a video, so you have no reason to deride her efforts. It's HER life and HER channel.
My statement was a direct reply to her alleged post in this thread. I see my statement struck a nerve wit you and you shouldn't be so sensitive. I'm fully aware that their are many female's well versed in technology fields I work with them everyday.

Oh, ok I see. So your excuse for someone releasing a dumbed-down, pathetic piece of content having absolutely nothing to do with the title is "well at least she tried."
By your logic, everyone criticizing the iPad has no validity as they themselves couldn't make an iPad.
I'm at least glad you can acknowledge that it isn't a review, despite what her title claims.
