Frankly

In line with Friday's post on the impending end of Google Reader, I'm quite surprised any of you gals even know how to get on Internet .... without the use of this Special Lady Computer, that is. 

But seriously, in addition to one spokesman "insisting" that the product "isn't sexist," the following description tells us just about everything we need to know about it (because who cares about memory, hard drive, processor speed, screen size, or any of that technical mumbo-jumbo right?):
"The Tablet comes preloaded with applications so you can just turn it on and log in to cooking recipes or yoga," Mani Nair, Associate Vice President for Marketing at Eurostar Group, told the Jerusalem Post. "It makes a perfect gadget for a woman who might find difficulties in terms of downloading these applications and it is a quick reference."
I also saw some comments to the effect of how this product Just Shows How Backward the Middle-East is. You know, because pointlessly sex-segregated products based on stereotypes of men and women never happen here in the enlightened US.

Now, let's see.... if I could only find that whatsitmabop that tells me how to "publish" blog posts..... hold on a sec, let me ask my non-existent husband.... ah, there we go....
