I can see that all the iPad excitement can become an irritation to people who aren't interested, so a separate forum can prevent unnecessary irritation.
The iPad may not be a 'dedicated reading device', but future iPad owners who are members here will probably be using it as a reader - amongst other things... since this IS MobileRead after all .
As for the iPad and/or Apple haters, they can just go into their 'settings' and 'ignore' the offending forum if they wish. That in turn, will leave the iPad enthusiasts space to drool and discuss and speculate etc. in peace.
Just my 2 cents...
But as alluded to earlier in this thread, there are hundreds of other devices on the market that people can also read on. Why should the iPad get special treatment? Especially when there is already a perfectly good Apple related forum? (ie. the one all these threads were just moved to)
