Well then the iPad is obviously not for you. For the rest of us who aren't doing such "intense" processing, the iPad is perfect.
I do not require "intense" processing, and the iPad is FAR from perfect for me.

Just look at the lackluster iPad
I need more than a giant iPod touch....
I have to agree with you here. I think they're cool but my iP4 does everything an iPad can do and more... just with a smaller screen. I kinda don't get it I guess. What can an iPad do that my phone can't?

And that's exactly why they won't completely replace laptops. As long as people need something more powerful, they will continue to have a market. The iPad has found its own market; it's not replacing something else.
People need to stop assuming that because X product comes out it's immediately a "Y-killer." It's short-sighted to assume that no new niches or markets can be created.
In any case, it would be NICE for Windows Phone to do things that would pressure the rest of the market to evolve, but I'm not seeing it happening for a while. They're just playing catch-up.

Lackluster iPad? You have got to be joking. It's the most successful electronics launch ever. You are obviously an apple hater. The iPad is a thoroughly enjoyable and useful device. The windows phone is a complete joke.
300,000 sold in one day, and 3M sold in 80 days is anything but 'lackluster'.
From NetworkWorld last week (hardly an Apple rag):
The iPad may very well be the fastest selling consumer electronic product of all time. To put things in perspective, Apple sold about 3.27 million iPads during the third quarter of 2010, and estimates for the current quarter range from 3.8 million units on the low end to upwards of 6 million units.
+1
You're in a mac community forum board, and you open a new thread saying, "i hope the windows phone will put a dent in iphone sales"
Calling the iPad lackluster doesn't help, stupid comment without backing up your statement...
go to another forum
oh yeah, the windows 7 phone is a joke

One minute your calling another member a hater, the next your declaring the windows phone a joke, as though you are the expert, and speak for millions of people.Lackluster iPad?

...Like, it makes me regret my projector + 8 foot wide screen for my movie room. I mean, what can it do that my 46" LCD TV couldn't?
Can you make these comments AFTER you've had an iPad please? I could name 12 things the iPad does well that the iPhone doesn't...and how can I make these comments? Because I have both. Use an iPad for a week- heck even a day...then you may post your gibberish.
An answer with supporting anecdotal or factual evidence would be much more appreciated. I haven't knocked the iPad or either of your decisions to get one so the question is... "Who pissed in your Cheerios?"

Don't worry. WP7 is no threat to anyone. It will fail just like every other major Microsoft endeavor not named "Windows" or "Office."![]()
WP7 isn't even a worthy competitor to Android 2.1.![]()
