Still about IPad

Maybe I was unfair about the IPad. Let’s see what others are saying:

IPad frustration

Everyone is talking about how disapponted they are about this whole IPad thing.
 
Then someone sent me this:
 
 
This is what IPad wanted to be when it grows up. :) A real computer. Not a big IPhone that can’t even make calls.
 
Now imagine someone holding an IPad close to the ears yelling: HELLOOOWWW???
FAIL!

 
This Archos one runs a real OS, Windows 7, not a freaking half baked OS that won’t allow you to do anything. And some serious HD (60 GB) so you can really do something useful with it.
And the price, you may ask? US$ 549!
So who in perfect sanity would rather buy an IPad? Steve Jobs maybe? Nah, he is a smart guy, most of the time…
