It'd be easy to say "sure but you're a geek, you just don't
see how easy to use and useful the iPad is for normal
people". But I don't think it is.
Sorry, but you don't see. Heck, I am a geek and I do want iPad, and I know exactly why do I want it. That's because I know what I will not be doing with it, and why "deficiencies" which were repeated over and over since Jan 27 do not matter. No, I won't be doing any programming on it, nor will I be carrying it out of my house often. But there are activities on which I spend a lot of time and for those iPad is just perfect.
I used to be surprised how many geeks missed the point that iPad has IPS screen,
but I just gave up. It is so easy to point what iPad does not have and miss that it does have. Just wait till you can spend some time with the device, and say meh then.
