Could they not have found something more useful to spend $500 (at a minimum) on?

Sad really. What are ose kids, like 15 years old? How do they have $500 to just throw away like that?

I feel bad for them when they actually have to go out and earn money/pay bills someday. Hope they have trust funds.

More $$$ than sense, but that's what makes the world go round.

They probably purchased the best buy black tie protection plan, and will go back in the store and say "sorry I accidentally dropped it"

Wow, that sucker is incredibly resilient. If anything, this has inspired confidence in the build quality and I won't have to baby it as much as I figured I might.

There's a group of guys that did this with an iPod and Xbox 360. It was funny because they smashed both in front of lots of people and they all freaked out, especially on release day of the Xbox 360. Lemme see if I can dig up the video.

Edit: Not quite as many people as I remember, but here's the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e26F6nkv5B0

First ones in line and there was still a line when they walked out. Smashed it right there in the parking lot, you could see people still in line yelling. Lemme see if I can dig up the video.



I think someone on Youtube did that back when the first iPhone was released, Instead I think they put it in a blender.

Mind you this guy has blended almost everything imaginable. If you can think of it, he's blended it.

Those guys could have been hurt by an exploding battery. They should consider themselves lucky, but they are probably too stupid to realize that.

I guess some people will never grow up. Waste of $500. I am all for having fun but wasting $$$ to me is not fun.

I would own an iPad today if I had the $$$ to purchase one. Oh well!

So so pointless. So many other things that you could do with $500, like help others.
