		<description>Hi James.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;That&#039;s a very good question and, if I&#039;m honest, I don&#039;t know what the answer is! As I said in the article, I&#039;m not really sure where the iPad will fit in the tech market - it&#039;s neither laptop nor PDA, and certainly not a netbook either!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I think the main drivers of this will be casual users (e.g. someone who just wants to check their e-mails from the comfort of the living room) and hipsters who would buy it no matter what :) I read an article (sorry I can&#039;t find it now) that suggested that Apple have deliberately limited what the iPad can do because they don&#039;t want to sell users an all-in-one device. If users want a phone, buy an iPhone. If they want a computer, buy a Mac. If they want a portable entertainment/internet device, buy the iPad. I&#039;m not sure if that&#039;s actually the case, but it seems to make sense.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Question is, is that good business or poor customer service? What do you think?</description>

		<description>My question is, What does it do that cannot already be done, and often done much better by a tablet or netbook?  For example, I have a 10 y/o tablet (Walkabout HH3)  That does everything the iPad does, holds all 800+ of my free ebooks, so I didn&#039;t have to buy anything from am Apple store.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I concede that the Apple OS is more elegant and reliable and the touchscreen displays now are better, but I got the HH3 for less and I could have bought an older Apple notebook with wifi and a USB port for about the same price.  I think there is a large worm in this apple.</description>
