It's just that I'm looking for something -different- and i feel the ipad is such a thing; the whole magical and revolutionary stuff is lame, but you have to give them points for introducing what they've got already.

That wouldn't be 10 years ago as the original P4A chip was released in 2002.  Dunno if there was a 2GHz P4A, or whether that was the P4B (which would be later).
But Pentium 4s are fine - more powerful than my Intel Atom N270, and I think it's fast enough for most tasks.

And do you really have 128MB + 1.5GB of RAM?

I'm very sorry, i made a booboo; kinda tired here.

I meant to say 128MB of video ram + 1.5 DDR RAM. About the pentium 4 processor, i guess i was exaggerating the 10 years part; but it is very old by technologies standards, which was the point i was trying to get across.

Forgive me, I'll look into my examples more thoroughly next time. (Give me more time to edit my posts! D=)

EDIT:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentium_4

The first pentium 4 codenamed williamette; was released in 2000, but since I'm not an donkey, i verified my CPU to be the northwood chipset with the 130 nanometer build; so i guess this computer is 8 years old, which is still a pretty old machine anyway...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DDR_SDRAM#History

Also, according to this information (I'm not sure with that history reading) DDR was introduced in 2000 as well; but I'm assuming i have "release 2" based ram, which is also 8 years old...

This is besides the point, this computer is still pretty old

People are supposed to be arrogant when they are selling stuff, if you doubt your own product and not support it; then...i can't describe how dumb that is.

It's been jailbroken already lunar; check out the "spirit" jailbreak :)
