I wasnt the only one who apparently noticed almost all comments on ign, kotaku, joystiq, etc. Sites when the ipad or any apple device was mentioned complete ignorance, dislike, writing off, and just negativity by these "real" gamers. Even when the topics arent gaming related or talk about an idevice game on these sites they just call the ipad a waste of $ and other crap (they probably dont know how to use one).
They spend similar amounts for new gaming consols or portables with $50 games on them as well while we get all kinds of spinoff games, ports, and surprising support from big companies like capcom, ea, sega, and even old school emulators like amiga coming out (check toucharcade front page). we are even getting joystiq addons (check fling or icade). When will these people ever learn? Plus we'll probably have onlive anyway which is console and pc cloud gaming. And recently some amiga remake got announced and even jeff minter is interestedin the platform (already made a game and working on others) and recently Crytek.
If you want more proof and dont believe me or that thread read the gamespot iphone section:

Just constant negativity.
