I still see people buying IPADS, and getting on the train and bus going and coming home from work so I'm not buying that it's a weak economy.
When the economy was booming lots of people had laptops which cost around $1000 back then. Tablets are the new laptops and they are half the price. It isn't necessarily related to the state of the economy.
I am not sure what you are implying but it seems like you are trying to insult the unemployed? I am not sure why you are in this forum making such negative comments? It is people like you that push me to work harder and overcome obstacles.
How am I insulting the unemployed and I'm unemployed too?-lol I'm just saying that as a unemployed person, when I see people lined up in my city waiting to buy a phone then the economy is not a excuse we should use as a reason why we are unemployed.

My point is thinking about the economy is not a healthy mindset when seeking employment. I don't know about anyone else but after seeing that story I have become more positive.

Don't forget that probably a good chunk of those people can't really afford the phone or iPad. They're most likely putting it on credit or, if they're young, the parents are paying for it.
