I was just pointing out that was what had the best chance at meeting the list of things he wanted.
I get not waiting for ever to buy a device as there's always something better just around the corner.
But it's also silly to just rush into early adopting new tech--especially new categories of tech like these new tablets that aren't full PCs.
I really want one, but I want one that fits my needs pretty well. It doesn't have to be perfect, but I'm not going to go drop $600+ on an iPad when there will be something that fits my needs a good bit better (and probably at less cost) 6 months to a year down the road.
It's not something I need right this second. I can wait for something with a tad bit larger screen, a real file management system etc.
The iPad is a great media consumption device. But it's lacking for use in business, research etc. as it's not really meant to be a productivity tool. You can get by with it. But for $600+ I want to do more than just get by so I'll wait and see what comes out, what they improve in the 2nd gen model etc.
I don't care about reflective screens like Pixel QI, but the other guy did so if he wants that he should keep an eye on the Adam and other tablets using it rather than early adopting something that doesn't match his needs.
