Another paid Ipad ad, lol. My phone and my laptop both can do so much more than the Ipad. So by the author's logic, why does the iPad exist? The IPad is a device that does almost everything, but just doesn't do it very well. In a few years, when there is a new color screen technology and tablets will be as light as e-readers and the battery will last as long -- then we are talking (even though by then e-ink readers might well be below 50 USD). Or alternatively something with the form factor and battery life of the iPad and the capabilities of a computer -- not those of an iPod touch.
