I agree it's an e-reader forum, and I wish the mods would move ALL iPad threads to the Apple Devices forum so they can stay free from the haters.

I see NO reason for anything to be posted in News or General Discussions when it pertains to a device that has it's own forum area.

For the "exclusivity" bit:

1. I know others bash all the DRM schemes, I was just talking to joblack who has repeatedly just attacked Apple for it like they're the only one's that do it. Again, I'm no Apple fanboy as the Nano I recently bought is the only of their products I've every owned. I've always found their stuff lacking features and/or too pricey until the 5th gen Nano (finally added FM tuner) and maybe the iPad (still on the fence).

2. And I never said it excused Apple for doing it. I'd prefer it was more open and DRM free, just like I prefer the same of my Kindle, and licensed PC software etc.

I'm just not so up in arms about it as most as I really only care if a device suits my current needs, and don't care much about all the legal issues, having access to cheap books and programs years down the road etc.

But I get that other's do care a lot about that and that's fine and I have no problem with people bashing DRM schemes etc. Just do it for all schemes and don't troll one company when there are many companies doing the same crap.
