I can see the adverts now.
I’m a PC - I can do Flash
I’m a Mac - I’m a giant Phone

Apple has never really been successful in the latter days of the PC industry. Steve never thought you had to cater to the desires of the customer base — only his narrow “apple proprietary” dictatorship that fashioned a number of failed products that only cater to a narrow base of users.
His iPad is a joke. Overpriced, under-equipped, a joke of a CPU that should have been something akin to the Intel Atom to permit other OS’s. Totally pathetic I/O for user interface. And made as proprietary as Steve could to lock the Apple-Bots into buying lots of overpriced Apple peripheral support.
HP will easily kick Apples’ butt in this horserace, with only a little smart marketing and design.

You also don’t need to print, scan, or have pen-input either.
Earlier tablet PC’s had all these. The iPad seems like more of a step back than anything.
I got mine on Saturday, after standing in line for over 3 hours, and it has exceeded my expectations. I really didn’t understand the iPad, until using it the past couple of days.
Steve is right. This is a fantastic USB device, not an iPhone, and not a “small” laptop. If you haven’t been able to play with one, hooked up to and synced with your computer, and thought about how you could use it, you can’t understand it.
I absolutely love mine. I have a camera and an iPhone. I have a MacBook Pro.
This is not designed to replace any of the above. It is different.
