   There are two markets for an iPad like device. One is a casual user (a content consumer), which is what the iPad is aiming for. The other is "power" users, or to be more accurate - people who create content. That's not who iPad is aimed at.
   
   I'd like an iPad that runs OSX. A lot of people would. Those people are content creators. But an iPad aimed at us is not viable because the technology isn't there yet. And so we get the "average users" argument, which is just weak justification for why "power users" ought to put up with it.
   
   Fact is that iPad doesn't do what we content-creators want from a tablet, and that's OK because it's not aimed at those people yet.
   
   But I sure as hell hope Apple make one aimed at us in the next few years.

   LOL! Well, it is an oversized iPhone. That's not a bad thing though, I'd argue it's a great thing

Care to share a thought?
