iPAD: The Too Big iPod; The Keyboardless Netbook

from John Spencer

If the iPad fails, it is because it is a bad device and there is a ton of media hype surrounding something so bad. It’s the Beanie Baby of technology.

It’s essentially like a spork, trying to do all things and none of them well:

2. An eReader that’s bad on the eyes
3. A small computer (like a netbook) without a keyboard (yes you can buy one), Flash, web cam, or multitasking
