I like the ipod for holding mp3's from elsewhere, but the iPad was a serious letdown. Was ordering when they came out, and the entourage edge was my selection at that time. I couldn't even develop for the iPad (even if I had a mac) because the terms in the license are so bad, it would violate my employment terms just to agree to them (I think that is the most missed part when people look at iWhatever development)!
Anyway, I hope my voice as a consumer can make some authors think as they move to the e-world. I really want to see them succeed. I don't need free, but I do need value for my money, and the typical respect that you should give to a person in polite society.
