Sorry guys, it won't wash. Calling me names won't work.

I never attacked the iPad. I just stood up for the "little guys." The Kindles, the Kobo, the Nook. The iPad does what it does, but it is not the comprehensive answer, or even the eReader answer, and some of us don't need it.

If you want to call me a hater because I won't allow the bullying that occurs in the media, CNET, etc., and elsewhere, promoting the iPad while casting aspersions on the other eReaders and their users, then I say you are mistaken, and I will call any casting those dispersions trolls.

Further now that the Kindle Fire is actually daring to go beyond just being a superior reader, the outrage is growing. The revered precepts are threatened and the iDols are shaking in the temples. The experts can't have been wrong, because they are the experts. There is a lot of teeth gnashing.

I actually saw where the forecast for iPads for the coming quarters has been reduced. Can you imagine?
Didn't call you names, just your attitude but as you've gone on to clarify it... thanks for the confirmation... And the iPad really doesn't get major promotion as an eReader but if you feel CNET represents Apple rather than being a biased commentator then why not read another biased commentator that fits your worldview, probably help keep your blood pressure down as well...
