But if you just hate Apple for the sake of it, then by all means, buy something else. But why keep harping over and over about how much you don't need a product you know nothing about?

For what it's worth, a bunch of major publishers seem pretty excited about the new product. Perhaps they know something we don't.

As to "I can't mount my iPhone on my desktop," a simple Google search would have brought up tons of applications, some free, which will allow you to easily do just that.
Heck, maybe they will surprise me and deliver an awesome product and put me in my place, I would love that. I am just going by the current crop of products they offer. I am also only speculating that the new device will:

Have proprietary connection instead of mini USB.
Be missing the SDHC card reader and only have internal memory.
Will be locked to purchasing content to some appstore.
Will be way overpriced.

I could be wrong though, and I hope I am. I have been wanting a decent tablet for many years, maybe they will deliver the goods...
