It's ridiculous and childish to dismiss Apple's design success as "Apple Craze" and form over function. The iPhone was hyped beyond belief before it was announced, more after it was announced, and it continues to sell like crazy on (in the US) a crappy network, and earns extremely high satisfaction ratings.
The idea that the same process that produced the ipod and iphone can be dusted off as irrelevant is to miss the advantages of having a vision and a process, the very things that IAs tout as necessary. There's a huge amount to learn from what Apple is doing, and my guess is the market will be warm to the ipad in version one, and in 2 or 3, it will take off even more than the ipod. This is the first digital device I could see my parents using, and that says a lot. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
