I don't hate the iPad-- I hate all the hype around the iPad. Especially in the "news and commentary" forum here-- there are so many redundant iPad threads that it looks like a Dan Bloom marathon. The hype reminds me of that scene in Being John Malkovich where Malkovich goes into his own head and every word spoken is Malkovich Malkovich Malkovich. Except in this case every word is iPad iPad iPad.

The iPad itself I can simply disregard as a tech bauble with lots of style and little substance.
