That's not the point. The point is that if you want such a product, even if only to demo, test whatever, there's something there for you to do so with. The ultimate point is that this type of product is, like all other tablet PCs, a very niche product. Tablets in general are niche. The iPad is the first thing to potentially expand the market for this form factor.

I'm not familiar with that product. I took a look but couldn't find a match for brand nor model name for "any."

But... Maybe you're saying then that the iPad doesn't do anything that the iPhone doesn't already do? Did you watch the keynote?

Or are you comparing the iPhone to other Smart Phones? In that case what other remotely similar smart phones cost less? Have even 1/1000th of the quality app selection (ignoring the crap apps of which there are many)

Anyway, no one has named a single product yet. You know, actually name it. By name.

The iPad does do one thing better... it isn't slower than fucking evolution apparently.
