wow, you summed it up pretty nice there. i was thinking more along the lines of a laptop with a reversible screen can do so much more than the ipad, could actually be used in a benefitial way, in such things like video editing (youtubers would love that) because it had a real os, it can handel things like flash, or other smaller games. with steam, its not even hard for a normal person to get a game and play it anymore (my computer illerate mom got 2 games, made her own account, and set everything up herself) and even than, you have a wider choice of games.
if there was a pc capable ipod emulator, or just run ipod games off a computer through i tunes, it would have a fairly large share of the market.
i firmly believe that people, given the choice between a gen 1 ipad, and a real tablet pc, chose the ipad, in many cases the more expensive of the choices, to be stupid.
apple single handedly made a new market that didnt need to be made, and ruined a second market that would have had far more value to the world.
