man, dont you know its verbotten to tell anything resembling facts when it comes to apple.
Well, you could start out, first, by spelling "verboten" right, for one thing ... LOL ... then you might have a chance at someone listening to anything else you have to say ... :-)
BUT, you know, if some of the Apple-hating, "nattering nabobs of negativity" had something relevant in the way of facts, then you might "have something there" ... LOL ...
However, they are usually woefully short on the facts and more expressive of their negativity, than anything else...
ipads are more hype than hoopla, hows that for a fact
