You obviously don't know me or you would know that I'm no Apple fan. I have an iPad because it works, but I generally hate Apple and their arrogance, and I definitely hate Steve Jobs. And I hate when friends call me on their iPhones because I cannot hear much of what they say--terrible phone. I'm more of a Windows and BlackBerry kind of guy.

If I criticize the NC it is because it deserves to be criticized, as does Google for producing a lackluster Android OS. Even Scion who used to be the loudest proponet of the NC has given up on it. To be honest, the only good thing about the NC is its terrific LCD screen, though it is a widescreen which is bad for reading. A reader is better off with a 4:3 screen like most of the eInk readers. The only thing a widescreen is good for is video.

If you read the red, italics portion of my signature you will see I have no loyalties to any hardware or OS vender.
