I think it is more apt to compare the iPad to the iPod, as it really is just a larger version. Which is both what annoys me about it and what makes it such a genius marketable device. I wanted the Lenovo X Tablet to be cheaper. Still would, actually. Most folks just want a larger browsing device for as cheap as possible. (Of course, the cynic in me thinks most folks are just highly susceptible to well done marketing and haven't given much thought as to what they want until told what they want.) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
