Steve Jobs will now raise iPad prices, saying it has a new feature: multi-paw support!

Btw, these vids are the first iPad new that's somewhat enjoyable.

And this settled once and for all: cats are smarter than dogs.

So it's safe to assume that we're still riding the iPad hype :P

Smart dogs always bark at evil things.

That cat learned the Apple touch interface faster than most adults over 30. :)

Dogs see everything in black and white. Cats can see a few colors. Cats notice and react to movement better. It not surprising that dog is not interested. I never got my dog to watch TV cat, on the other hand, would watch discovery or national geographic for few minutes.

I think this is interesting because I would hypothesize that those animals possess similar levels of intelligence as the people that actually bought the iPad.

New marketing campaign: adopt a puppy and get a free iPad...

Yeah, I am afraid I am filing this one with the "leaked" Iphone HD images. Come on guys, I like the occasional nonsense whimsical articles too, but it's starting to get deep in here.

This proves it... Dogs definitely have more sense than cats.

This must be some new apple advertising ploy. Here is some money... go online and look for people using our iPad. If it is cute, link to it.

In the first 30 seconds of the Dog video:
That was exactly the face I had and what I did when I saw the iPad.
WTF is this for and WTF am I supposed to do with it?
I'm glad the cat was able to enjoy it though.

The dog has the right idea... DON'T TRUST IT!!!!

I would argue that this shows the dog is more intelligent then the cat. The dog doesn't trust this Apple product, while the cat plays with it like the 2 year old does.

I wonder if it is emitting some kind of radiation that animals are more sensitive to.

Cat's are just more curious. The Dog knew that it was a dumb product(unlike the cat) which is why it barked at it.

LOL, thats awsome!! I think I am finally sold on the ipad. I'm gonna buy an ipad, and a cat. Now all I have to do is mount it to a nitro rc car, and code the controls into the ipad.
