Right....people who buy Android or iOS products are idiots, but the 1% of people (if that who buy WP7) are the really sophisticated purchasers.
Why can't you just make your point without insulting people? I think WP7 is interesting, too, but there are lots of reasons not to buy it now. Good reasons.
And there's plenty of colorful logos and media "hurf blurf" surrounding WP7 -it's not like it's a secret OS that a couple of tinkerers put together in their basement.

Something people don't quite grasp is that there's no money in the tablet hardware business, you're making 10% max per unit, unless you can command the 200%'s and such of crApple, but anyone that tries to do this in consumer space, fails. Tablets are a software game for the home consumer market, if you cant get in there, you're going to be making nearly nothing.

Well, Apple (again "crApple" - why so defensive?) seems to make a lot of money in the tablet space, which is why people want to get into that market. And what basis do you have for claiming that Apple makes 200% on its $500 ipad, while Asus, say, is only making 10% on its $500 transformer?
Is Asus really that badly run?
