The iPads are absolutely superstars. Nothing else like them, totally agreed.
But from a strictly-monetary perspective, the issue is that they last too long. That is, they hold their value to me for years, so I don't feel any pressure to upgrade frequently, and from the stats, it appears I'm not alone.
