Anyway, I really didn't mean to start a commotion. People are happy with their iPads and that is good for them. I have just been so incredibly frustrated with it because I realize it is more of a gimmick and toy than a device for [my] practical use. I also happened to be more tech savy than most and I know it's capabilities. It tears me up when Apple kills this device with all the unnecessary restrictions as they do. I now understand why jailbreaking community is so large.

Why sweat an iPad if you're technical and free to use other devices that will serve you better?
For someone like me, who's not interested in messing with tech, iPad is a great device. If you're technical, you can jailbreak and mess with it, or you can ditch it and move on.
Seems silly to angst about a company because it makes products you don't want. Apple (or any other company) isn't obligated to serve every customer. Seems to me that it targets a certain customer base and makes good money doing it. Of course Apple and iPad aren't for every customer. Neither is any other tech company. There's plenty of tech stuff I wouldn't buy. That doesn't mean there's no value in that stuff; it just means they won't get my money.
