One guy writes that iPad is not for him and that means that "this device won't go so far"? Selling 300 000 of these on the first day means nothing I guess. The iPad OS is a phone OS, whatever powerful it is, it'll be always way behind any desktop OS. A car, whatever poferful it is, it'll be always way behind any train. So? And about iPhone OS 4.0 multi-tasking, it just made me laugh, it just proved me Apple failed to support real multi-tasking. You laugh, users don't care. Will they be able listen Pandora in the background? Sure they will. Will they receive skype calls, even when Skype is not in front? Sure they will. Will navigation software run in background, even you switch to other app? Yes it will. Meanwhile enjoy your well thought multitouch suppor of Windows 7 on HP slate and the battery life with real multitasking.

> Selling 300 000 of these on the first day means nothing I guess. So you can guarantee me that the iPad will without any doubt whatsoever 'take off' solely based on the fact that they sold a ton of product on the first day? It is by no means a guarantee of anything. It's possibly indicative of a trend, but first day sales shouldn't mean anything other than how successful the product was marketed. How well the product takes off after that is a function of marketing, how well it meets consumer expectations (i.e. it could somewhat miss on consumer expectations, but be bolstered by an excellent marketing strategy), and how much of a market there is for it. > A car, whatever poferful it is, it'll be always way behind any train. So? Not everyone can afford to have a device for every purpose. Many people have to budget around getting a single device that can do as many things as possible. > Meanwhile enjoy your well thought multitouch suppor of Windows 7 on HP slate and the battery life with real multitasking. What are you trying to say here? That because he wants 'real' multi-tasking that he's an idiot and should be sent off to use Windows 7 and have poor battery life? Is it such a crime against humanity to want to have a decent multi-touch experience and 'real' multitasking?
