The techies like you can find all kinds of faults with products, but those of us who don't give a flying f*** about technology and it's in and outs and just want a product we can pick up and use are very well served by simple to use devices such as the Kindle or the iPhone.
And I believe an eventual tablet by Apple would do the same thing. Be very intuitive and idiot proof and a solid device for people who just want something to surf the net, watch movies, have a planner, read some books etc.
It may no meet the standards of power users and techies, but who cares? That's a small niche and Apple couldn't care less about them. The money is in the mainstream with the Joe Six Packs who just expect to buy stuff and do the basic advertised functions with ease.
I could care less if Apple or any other company is an innovator or just steals other ideas. I care that a company puts out a device that does what I need it to do and is easy as hell to use. Again, brand loyalty is for suckers, so I could careless if it's innovative or not as long as it works the way I think it should.
