Thanks for the article. While he makes some valid points, I get the feeling he just doesn't like the iPad. That's ok, but the first thing he complains about is the dock. I had no problem noticing it myself. I think that anyone would be inclined to study the whole screen, and not just the top, and I'd bet that people would read reviews where they talk about it. Also that "Tab Bar" is called a Dock. The rest of the review just sort of follows this complaint. Also, he didn't even review the built in apps at all. What about ibooks? I'm sorry, I still get the idea he just wants to hate the iPad and for that matter probably hates Apple's way of doing things.
