Where? You mean the other devices forum?

Mobile Read is a site promoting portable reading in whatever format. The iPad is thus a worthy contender... when it comes out that is.

I have a question and it really bothers me: Why the hooliganist reactions? They have a bad taste of racism deja vu to them...
I see it just the other way around... There are literally hundreds of non-dedicated devices that can be used for reading. So why must the iPad get special treatment? What's wrong will keeping everything Apple in one forum? That's already better than what most manufacturers get.
