Why does the media worship Apple?

I'd rather buy an iPad than a netbook. Both are pretty much useless for actual work so I may as well spend the money on whatever plays Angry Birds better.

...or just save your money (and maybe buy neither)? Is it really worth that cost for Angry Birds? Haha, I feel like an old fogey, but I guess I'm just more frugally-minded.

Considering one can play Angry Birds on virtually every device from console to smartphone, yeah; I don't think you're just being a frugally-minded old fogey.

$0.99 app; $500-900 player? Only if you're insanely crazy about Angry Birds.

I'd still rather have the iPad for other reasons though. Battery life... always on... read in bed... instant access to data... I sound like a flipping commercial here; now I want one. Just hard to justify another end content consumer device when I probably should be working.
