Jimmy Fallon stays up late at night thinking about putting his hands on Apple's iPad.
One of the reasons that late-night talk show host Jimmy Fallon has connected with his young viewing audience is that he gets new technology. Of course, he gets new technology because companies send free shit to famous people, but we mean that he actually understands gadgets, gets excited by them, and incorporates them into Late Night with Jimmy Fallon (NBC, weeknights 12:30 a.m.). When we interviewed Jimmy for the "Shotcaller" feature in the April/May 2010 issue of Complex (it's on stands now with Olivia Munn and The Gorillaz on the covers), we had to get his thoughts on Apple's iPad, which already has crazies lined up around the block for its release this Saturday, April 3rd. Here's what the late-night host had to say about it:
"The iPad, I'm kind of not sure yet. Of course I'll get it, but I don't know why I'm getting it. [Laughs.] It kind of makes me mad that Apple's holding back. I mean, why not put a camera in there? And why not put an anti-glare screen? It's like, you know they're going to come out with it. Just do it now! I mean, what are they waiting for? I mean, why they gotta be like that, iPad?"
Not a ringing endorsement, but maybe Jimmy's celebrity can help sway Apple to step up the features so he can get behind the iPad fully. Keep reading to see some of the host's all-time favorite gadgets...
