ok. there have been plenty of MID type devices which have been around, but none of them have been breakaway successes. why?
one important thing the ipad has that none of these devices ever will, is the itunes store. while many of us here are happy using itunes or lame to convert music, and handbrake to convert video, the same can't be said about john and jane public. with the ipad you're not only getting a capable media player, you're also getting an extensive audio and video catalog to purchase content for your device. it's the reason ipods sell so well, the store is so well established.
