"No wireless. Less space than a Nomad. Lame."
--Slashdot on the original iPod
"What Apple risks here is its reputation as a hot company that can do no wrong. If it's smart it will call the iPhone a "reference design" and pass it to some suckers to build with someone else's marketing budget. Then it can wash its hands of any marketplace failures."

"Billions of Asians are going buy HP’s TouchPad due to him [Manny Pacquiao]. Apple will lose 98% of their Asian sales. ... They have torn part hundreds of iPads and know what makes them tick. They know how to make it all work better and the result is the HP TouchPad ... The HP TouchPad is something like the iPad v. 6.0"
