You’re a professional comedian, right? The iPad is already a HUGE success. Among many things it has already changed the publishing industry. I can read magazines, newspapers, programming references, music notation, and comic books in a much more effective way than I ever could with my Amazon Kindle, or my laptop.

Furthering the iPod’s success is the fact that Netflix has an app for it, and even Autodesk has SketchBook Pro, a feature-rich, high-end paint program for it that is a dream to use. Like it or not, the iPhone and iPad are serious gaming platforms that allow software developers new avenues of revenue, and consumers new pathways to entertainment.

It took a device like the iPod, with its easy to use interface, readable display, and elegant design features to get traditional media publishers to rethink how they treat and deliver their products. We will all appreciate the interactive, media-rich experiences of the new eMagazines and eBooks that will emerge because of the iPad, and similar products that will soon follow.

So how do you feel about being completely wrong? I mean, cuz y’know, it sold OVER 500,000 WHEN RELEASED. Don’t mean to troll your blog, but how does that crow taste.

I hate that people are calling the iPad a tablet. It’s not a productivity tool; it’s an iKindle. A tablet is a productivity tool – it works as a new way for input and/or productivity, such as my Wacom Intuos3. Calling this… this THING a productivity tool is highly misleading (perhaps why it is called “Pad” instead of “tablet”) and it makes me a Sad Panda.

Personally, I thought it was hilarious that PC World deemed my personal blog post link-worthy. Probably says more about them than it does about me

I read your article after reading the PC World piece that linked me here, I thought I was coming to a reputable site consisting of well-written articles and content that could be considered valuable.

Instead I find that you are a poor writer who doesn’t know how to present or support an argument. Please don’t write anymore.
