iPad is bad for the nerd. iPad is great for the consumer. I'm a nerd, so I've already got an iPhone that's jailbroken to all hell, and I've got a decked out laptop I can't live without. <i>I</i> don't need an iPad.<p>My mom, on the other hand, reads email, watches Youtube, and plays Sudoku on a computer. She doesn't have a smartphone, nor would she want to shell out 1000+$ for a decent laptop. iPad is great for people like her.
