you forget the fact that the iPad is the device that this generation will grow up with. its not a serious computing device – but mostly nobody will do serious computing at the client. its a game changer.

I can swear by my tablet and my (soon to be) open smartphone most likely and android – that I may not need another computing platform in a hurry. The iPads lock down on itunes and no USB is a big limitation for any personal or corporate environment to get work done – so while Apple might lead the way – its need to keep innovation will stay.

Same here. I am trying my hand on HTC Smart ( a cheaper version of smartphone from HTC on BREW Mobile platform) device after years of Nokia devices ( normal one and not smartphone), its nice to see bigger screen, better interface ( HTC Sense) but at the end of the day.. I feel Ok..not great. I don't use for data, just for basic call/sms etc purpose. Its really tough to see what is on screen on bright sunny day in outdoors if you want to type or even call someone. This is second article I am reading about Apple and their touch screen interface. ( First one through http://blog.investraction.com/2010/06/links-satya... ) http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704.... I had not visited Apple Store here in UK but by looking at it, I can say, its hype and there will more similar devices in the market which will be much cheaper, better and open like Dell's tablet incarnation Streak. Apple might be really good company for investors and for innovative products, there will be something better or more powerful come in next decade which will out do Apple in their game. ( This might be my envy as I am not able to buy Apple Shares or Products thinking that they are ridiculously expensive)
