1) because apple's OS was junked long ago and they run one of the most closed forms of linux
2) people are already hacking the kindle
3) apple is no longer the counter culture thing anymore it has a market cap bigger than microsofts!
I have no doubt that apple can design a good product..however it's just the design not the product itself.
with my dx I know no one would grab it to surf the web..I'm sure anyone would grab the apple ipad to surf the web or play games etc.
costwise dx gives you 3G...ipad doesn't yet...I'm not saying web surfing on a dx is great but to check email and do it free its pretty good. Being able to read outside is also good and the battery life. Let's say you go to a more remote area...ok now what..say they don't have power all the time..probably no wifi...what do you do now?
