Why I won't buy an iPad (and think you shouldn't, either) - Boing Boing
Lots of good points here.
I really believe that the computing platform that will win is the one that gives the end user the most freedom. The iPad isn’t that platform. What it does have are the apps.
However, if you take that out of the equation, what really is so great about the iPad? If Android gains parity with the iPad/iPhone OS in terms of apps, what’s the real compelling reason to go Apple for mobile computing?
