This comes by way of Jeff Croft:
In comparison to other devices
The Amazon Kindle DX (the current model with a 9.7” screen) is $480. FOUR HUNDRED AND EIGHTY BUCKS. In other words, it’s a hopeless pile of shit that looks like joke next to an iPad.
Honestly, do I really need to go any further with comparisons? Love it or hate it, the iPad just made everything else that is even remotely similar look like an overpriced toy. Period.
Seriously, I laughed my ass off when I read that first paragraph.
In all seriousness though, this quote really nails it:
Multi-tasking is vastly overrated. But multi-user support is a killer app no one is talking about.
I think it really boils down to this: if it doesn’t wow the geeks, you’ve got a killer device on your hands. Because it means everybody else will “get” it.
