The Oprah Winfrey Show’s Wednesday, April 21 promo reads:
From J.Crew’s fashionista to a florist extroadinaire, check out these glamourous, high-flying, action-packed dream jobs!
Plus, it’s hands-down the coolest gadget out there. We’ve got iPad fever!
Set your DVR’s now. Think she’s giving everyone in the studio audience an iPad?
More info and the promo video here.
[Thanks to MacDailyNews Readers too numerous to mention individually (and way too desperate for daytime TV) for the heads up.]
I wonder if she’ll leave under everyone’s seat a picture of her enjoying her iPad…..
@TT–
That would be friggin hilarious!
Oh crap! This happened to the Kindle, to KFC’s grilled chicken, and to Buicks. We’re hosed.
She’ll probably stick them with the taxes too… Anyone remember the G6 debacle?

Something about iPad and Oprah in the same sentence… it sounds gross.
I always figured her as the MAXI pad type.
I’ve got a fever, and the prescription is more iPad.
They’ll probably have wings!
@theconfuzed1:
that’s exactly what Stephen colbert did a few weeks ago on his show lol

he also used the ipad as a makeshift knife and made Salsa :O
But I thought the lifetime limit for iPad purchases was 2? isn’t she worried about being banned for life?
Get the diet app.
Ipad fever my ass. She uses flash on her site. What a bunch of horse shit.
And the only cure…is more COWBELL!
I hope she doesn’t pull a David Letterman.
I don’t follow her show…are we in a fat Oprah phase or a “thin” one? If she’s back to her beastly ways she should promote the iPad as a fatsessory that makes you look like a slim person carrying an Phone. All the cows in her audience will be so impressed they’ll stampede the nearest Apple Store. Hope Steve has warned the wranglers!
Who or what is an Oprah?
Will Uma be there?
I heard she had met The Oprah….
John Tesh will demo the iPad
Cleetus, u need get out more…
I think Cleetus just about nailed it. Moo.
@Cleetus. LOL!!!
It’s been rumored that hose Apple Store iPod touch check-out also double as electric cattle prod/crowd control devices.
Zap! Moo!
I can’t help but think of Dave Chapelle’s Married to Oprah sketch!
Forget Oprah for a moment. Just remember the potential of “The Oprah Effect” that causes an explosion in popularity of whatever it is she’s hyping. This can only be great news for Apple at the perfect time.
Better get one now. There is, as BMWTwisty says a huge “Oprah” effect. Sales should explode, at least in the short term.
What happened to the Kindle, Oprah? Even Oprah knows the Kindle is dead.
How is this even a news item? Her finally admitting that Steadman’s a beard, and she and Gail are moving to Northampton, Massachusetts, and going yearly to the Michigan Womyn’s Music Festival…THAT would be newsworthy!
…”Ipad fever my ass. She uses flash on her site. What a bunch of horse shit.”
Something didn’t sound quite right in your post, so I checked the site. The only Flash content there is advertising, and a tiny section under one tab (‘Videos’). Everything else seems to be Flash-less.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the ‘Videos’ section quickly gets re-done in HTML5.
In general, Oprah tends to reach an audience that good parts of mainstream advertising misses. In addition, her plugs for a product are extremely powerful; while a lot of her audience is in the lower income bracket, many end up following her plugs and getting things they can’t afford (or don’t quite need) because he plugged them on her show.
Kindle was an excellent example. She did a massive plug on it, and the device took off, against all odds. If she does anything even remotely as enthusiastic for iPad as she did for the Kindle, an entire new segment of the addressable market will burst right open.
Does anyone with half a brain really care what Oprah has or doesn’t have?
Why is this show with that fatty still going on? Get that useless clow off the air alredy…
She’s just skoked about the Oprah Book Club in iBooks.
