"Its lack of file-level control means that the iPad can't replace a laptop or netbook for core productivity activities.Nor is it a great candidate to be your primary e-reader."

He seems to be a little confused as to its purpose; as has been said here many, many times, it's not supposed to replace a laptop, and those 'core productivity activities' probably vary quite a bit from one person to the next, wouldn't you say?? I mean, if you need 'file-level control' for your 'core productivity activities' then you'd be a bit of a schmuck to buy an iPad, no?

I loved this:-

"The trouble is, if you buy a book from Amazon, for example, you can read it only in Amazon's Kindle app. So if you start buying books from different sources, you'll soon lose track of which book lives where."

Yeah right - that's all the fault of the hardware manufacturer rather than the app developer/bookstore! And it's just soooooo confusing having books in different places. Lordy, how do you think he manages at home with paper books - all those bookshelves in all those rooms...
