No, Really, iPad Critics: Just STFU!

nene: No really, if you want to get excited by an overpriced and overhyped piece of shiny plastic, produced by scaling an iTouch in a CAD package, you really need to get out more
nene: No-one cares that it's closed, no-one cares that it doesn't have a webcam, it's not designed for people who get excited and do things, it's designed for people who value form over function and drink the Apple koolaid.
seti: which just happens to be a market of millions upon millions of people.
nene: I'm not denying it will sell, but it's just another largely irrelevant me-too product that doesn't do anything new, coming out of a company that's finding it hard to come to terms with once-in-a-while other people innovate too
nene: If they wanted the iPad to be cool, they should have done it a few years ago, maybe instead of the iPhone
seti: they didn't own PA Semi back then yet so they couldn't.
seti: find me a video showing the usability of the HP/Win7 tablet or the Ink thingy running Android and let's compare
seti: it'll always remain a filthy media consumption device, of course.
seti:
nene: Find me a more balanced view of the iPad that isn't written by an apple fanboy
