I don't agree. While it might make a terrible reader for you, it might still be a great reader for somebody else. Just because you demand a large battery duration doesn't mean everybody needs a large battery duration. I'd be very happy if a tablet I bought would last 8 hours if only reading and would count it amongst the best readers I can have.

Granted their effort of making a computer in a box that you just plugged in was laudable but they went overboard treating the public like... children. If they had made one computer like that it would have been okay but they insisted with repeated waves of those, like we're all unsufferable iDiots.

Writing it aPple is like a polite manifestation against that repeated repeated repeated (sorry) marketing ploy... and it's still going on. iSlate/ iTablet? they're still at it you know...
You could just apply the rules correctly too... So, Apple, Ipod, Itouch, Islate, Itablet, Imac...
