Am I the only one who doesn't give a crap about the iPad?
jqueryin: -- BEGIN RANT -- I'm with you on this one.  It's receiving far too much hype.  It's a glorified iphone with a big screen and no phone capabilities.  I really can't fathom how there are so many apple fanboys out there.  You can get a laptop for $500 with a hell of a lot more functionality and hardware than the iPad.  Hell, the laptop doesn't even need you to purchase a boatload of extra accessories just to get basic functionality that comes standard on every laptop.  If I told you I would sell you a flat monitor for $500 and you could purchase a separate keyboard, docking station, charger, and USB connector you would call me crazy.  Apple just has a knack for hyping people up.  This has less to do with the iPad and more to do with people believing the hype.  Apple sells hype at a highly inflated rate.On to the pros: Apple's product designs are highly aesthetic.  I can't deny the fact they have some of the sexiest of devices.
