At least his reasons are not ideological, he doesn't find any practical use of an iPad. Neither do I. He openly admits that he uses other Mac products. I will probably consider buying an iPad (or other slate device) once the market matures and there are other reasonable slate devices I can compare to. Also there is a good chance that Apple will release the second iteration soon, which might improve on an already impressive device. Just following the hive minds and buying things because everyone else is doing it too, even if you don't see any use of it, is quite silly IMO.
