Arono: Ah, it's all marketing FUD. If this had been a Dell tablet, Dell would have done the exact same thing and gotten maybe the same press. It's just that Apple had two things going for them. Ravenous fanboys who will help them push this, and a really good marketing department. As a company, Apple sucks, is epic evil (on a Microsoft level) and nothing more than overpriced status symbols.

MohammadAG: dude, I wish the entire world would ban both Apple and Microsoft products. It'd make life so much nicer.

Harboring irrational angst against Apple (or any companies or brands really) make yourself a rabid fanboy of a different kind too...

Harboring irrational credit to companies which have a history of abusing the public trust and entering into very unethical play makes yourself a rabid fanboy of a rather common kind though.

Isn't it, ysss?

@Patola: Abusing public tust and entering into very unethical play?
Call me jaded, but I've yet to see any truly saintly companies out there. Anyway, I've never claimed to not be a fanboy of any kinds although I haven't been the rabid kind since my younger years (Palm, Sharp (zaurus)..).

I was just pointing out a pot that was calling the kettle black Let's all just chill and look at all these available tech and gadget available to us without having to swore a lifetime allegiance to any of them. At the end of the day, all they want is our money anyway.

Absolutely, and actually I just posted this because I was amazed how Cnn could write this article, even publish it on the front page under Editor's choice and yet it only says the prime minister of a small country thinks the ipad is excellent. Talk about apple being lucky it's comical since electronic communication like the ipad absolutely isn't something new
