Possibly.
But just because you don't 'get' it doesn't mean that somebody else won't.
It rather depends on what features or functions that you happen to want. Jswinden clearly doesn't like the restrictions that the iPad place on how you can use it, and feels that getting more than he needs and being able to choose what he removes is preferable. He's hardly alone there.
For my own part I'm perfectly happy to admit that Apple make wonderful products, that Steve Jobs is a very smart man, and that Apple owners are generally wise, handsome and discerning..... (after all I'm writing this on an iMac and I own an iTouch and an iPhone, so it must be true...
). But I also get why somebody would prefer to have more freedom to tinker around than Apple usually give you - because I like doing that too. I'm happy to own a range of gear from both camps, because I win both ways.
Cheers,
