Comparing "specs & features" is pointless. It's the software and how people take advantage of it that will determine if the iPad is junk or something very useful.
On the money.

The reality is: it's 2010, not 1990-2000. There was a time when the computer users and gadget buyers were DOS geeks and upgrade whores. They still exist, but they're just a subset of the market now.

The specs & features ppl at the competition said the exact types of things as ppl here about the iPod. Look what happened.

The specs & features ppl at the competition said the exact same things about the iPhone. In fact, lots of laughing and fanboy name calling ensued (true story). Look what happened.

Netbook and e-book makers now:

I don't know whether the iPad will fall flat or if it'll take off. But if the appstore and itunes/ibookstore give a reason for ppl to buy it, they will. Specs & features ppl obviously won't go for it, but it's not all about them anymore. If you disagree, you're just ignorant of reality. Most of the specs & features gibberish here is pointless, indeed.
