The Microsoft Courier will be crap, if history tells us anything. MS have not been very good and innovating the user experience.

When you think about what most people do most of the time, the iPad is not a bad device. It does what it does very well. The only problem I have, is it's just to limiting in what it does.

And it really is just a iPod touch with a bigger screen. Not that that's a bad thing, but will all they hype, I expected more (In apples defense, none of the hype came from them).

you dont thnk that steve hyped it big time by saying it batters netbooks?

the truth is, 90% (maybe 100%) of netbooks out there can do all of the things this can do.

This is no 3rd way, its a giant ipod touch, uncomfortable to use, gimped in the extreme and absolutely nothing new.

 

oh and in response to your other poiint... zuneHD says a big Hi.... slaughters the ipod touch.. i have both.

That's during the event. I am talking about all the hype leading up to it.. for a year.

And there is no question the Zune is a better piece of hardware, but the user experience on the iTouch imo is just far better.

I guess the best way I can describe the difference between Apple and Microsoft, is in everything Apple does (the iPad included), I dislike what the products don't do. Nothing the iPad does, does it do poorly. With Microsoft, I hate how that do things, not the lack of things.

Between these two flaws, I will take Apples way every time. I would much rather not buy something (like the iPad) and be upset with Apple for making it, then buy a Microsoft product that claims to do so many things, and in the end be unhappy with what they delivered.
