You commenters should learn to spell. Even when you make a good argument the reader has to step back aghast at the verbal gaffes that pepper your paragraphs.

First off these were not arguments, but my “opinions”. I was not reviewing anything, just stating what I thought the downsides to the device were.

As for the name, I gave a perfectly good alternative “the Apple Tablet”, which seems to get the idea across. iTablet would have been fine too, but that is apparently owned by someone else. So that is out.

Yes, I own an iPhone and numerous Macs and am aware of the strengths and limitations of the devices.

I am not rooting against this product and actually said that the second and third generations of this product will probably be more in line with people’s expectations.

Jumping on the iPad name bashing is pretty juvenile too, it’s all the rage with the school kids. When was the last time anyone mocked a note pad? or a think pad? or the MyTouch (myself) ? A name is what you make of it.

I’m assuming you’re an iPhone user, when was the last time you wished your iPhone could multitask? Those apps behave nicely because they are the only thing running. It’s all about user experience and user perception. Does the user really care that when they click the home button or switch apps that the application is no longer in memory? As long as your save and restore the state quick enough the user doesn’t care that it actually quit and reloaded. Apple got this right. I think it’s one of their best kept, out in the open secrets. It’s so OBVIOUS that the competitors just don’t get it.
