Well apple has some explaining to do...
If the ipad can't use flash...and if the new iphone this summer can...
it sort of competes within itself.
That and the timing isn't good..a chunk of the northeast is dealing with flooding.
I've already had arguments with some that thought this came with 3G. Not everyone has wifi in their homes...so by assuming that alone means that people already have internet access. Being teathered to wifi areas doesn't help...
I know people with ipod touches that don't bother to show it to people if there's no wifi in the area..the effect wears off.
Supposedly kindle has 400K books..ipad as 60K...but there is the kindle app for ipad..so where is a ipad user going to go for books?
My major problem with apple products is although they make a great design it just wears off as it isn't an open system. My college used to have a few macs...they don't anymore because the percentages aren't there. Apple jumped the shark awhile ago. It can't claim to be unix based and then say it has terms of service that demand apps must be approved. We got past this (applications are dependent on the OS) thing 15 years ago.
