I am sitting at the auxiliary kitchen bar watching it snow. The kids have already got fill of the cold, wet stuff, so I am indulging on an Ultra Amber (or two) looking for some entertainment value on the web; legitimate of course!<\/p>\n

This eweek article<\/a> pretty much pisses on Apple\u2019s iPad parade.<\/p>\n

Steve Jobs said the iPad was revolutionary during the iPad announcement. But further inspection reveals that it\u2019s really nothing more than a larger iPod Touch. More importantly, it\u2019s competing in a space where several products, including those from Dell and HP, might provide a better tablet experience. Of course, Apple doesn\u2019t want users to know about the competition. But they might be surprised to learn that when it comes to tablets, the iPad isn\u2019t necessarily the best offering<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It was not like I was planning on getting one anyway. It will be interesting to see how these things sell. Apple has a very loyal fan base, but it is hard to imagine them taking the bait on this one.<\/p>\n
