OK, why don't you tell us what's so intriguing about a midsize
touchscreen that has no HD, no widescreen, no camera, no USB, no
memory card slots, and no GPS, that can only get music and video
from iTunes, that can only run what the suits at Apple say it can
run, and that--for God's sake, this is 2010--can't multitask.
I will quote Andy Ihnatko of the Chicago Sun Times...
"Is it better to have a device that is loaded with bullet-pointable
features?"
"Or is it better to have a device that has a shorter list of specs ...
but which does everything right?"
"That’s not a loaded question. It’s the key difference between the
Android and iPhone operating systems. It’ll also define the difference
between a netbook and an iPad. The former looks great on paper. The
Apple product looks great when you’re actually trying one out
firsthand. "
"Most of my admiration for the iPad comes from the fact that I left
that demo room with absolutely no complaints about the speed, comfort,
or simplicity of my user experience."
