the Ipad drives me nuts, because when I scroll, I accidentally hit links, ads, etc. I want to throw it out a window. Plus, the Youtube layout is ridiculous.

Why didn’t you mention Android OS and Android based tablets ?

In reply to blackshtef. Yea, Appstore is the thing that will propell iPad into the sky. Even if other manufacturers manage to copy hardware and interface logic (and they eventually will) they will not be able to catch up with the volume of developers that develop day an night for iPad/iPhone.

interesting take on things Daemon! You make a lot of good points I had not thought of.

Great article!
I would agree with you on the fact that everybody else is just doing the hardware – the same happened with the iPhone.
Hey – let’s put a big touchscreen and we’ll take down the bloody iPhone! No, don’t put capacitive screen, let it be resistive and let’s have stylus with it. AppStore? Nah, we don’t need it :)

That is one of the most important reasons why iPhone is still on the market, and is in the lead…

In reply to Getz. Not sure Chrome will be even close to iPad OS. Seeing Google's interfaces on their last 2 big projects, I am thinking that Chrome OS will be made for robots, lunatics and hard core programmer geeks. Google cannot make user friendly interface :) maybe they surprise me!

I agree with most of your article. But (big as a house) I do not agree with your lead:
“I know that for some of you this might be stating-the-obvious, but I will say it anyhow: absolutely no other device will be able to rival iPad in the foreseeable future.
Many will try, but all will fail.”

You shoud see this first (and this is older then the iPad fo obout a year)

Im not chearing for Microsoft here, there is allso Chrome OS (and they will soon be available). So I would go easy with that bold steatment “Many will try, but all will fail”. :)
