I don't think its our 'limited understanding' (I can read!).......I think its the hype surrounding the product.

Each new device that comes along gets its share of criticism. Eventually, things calm down.

lol awesome. That's what I love about the Onion, they have a knack at making popular culture look ridiculous.

"New Device Desirable, Old Device Undesirable" rings too true. I look forward to a time when we have devices that don't need replacing frequently. My TV is at that point now, a 40" LCD I don't care about new ones being slightly cripser or OLED or 3d. Keeping this one until it breaks.

Last night I caught a rerun of the Simpsons episode featuring Steve Mobs and Mapple. Kind of put this iPad thing into perspective.
