As noted above, a major reason for the success of the iPad has been not trying to cram an entire desktop OS into a tablet.

I'm pissed there's no floppy disk, wah! Technology is constantly evolving. Apple is brave enough to advance the technology boundaries by pushing new features, while temporarily leaving others behind in a 1st gen. product. I'm tired of other companies complaining while Apple does the heavy lifting.

Oh, another thing - I have a sports car and a truck. Neither does everything I'd like, but each does what I want very well. If someone wants a machine that does it all, you end up compromising the ability to do it well. The iPad does a lot of things very well.

They both have lights, seats, and a windshield. An Apple car would not have that. A general use car does more that what an Apple car would do.

Why would you not want to organize, iew, or print from an ipad or tablet when they first come out? The technology and knowledge is already there. Rush even commented on the lack of ability to print.
