> iPad probably isn't the place to rant against an iPad. It's no rant against the iPad or tablets and sorry that I disagree but I see a strong relation to this kickstarter project which proves that tablets haven't got the perfect form factor. > It's light, very unobtrusive in public, and easy to handle on a bus/train/plane. Where is the advantage to a powerful smartphone? > And there are many, many, many people who are passive consumers of the internet That's the point: the Internet made all of us to producers: people who weren't tech savvy started to do small websites, writes blogs and so on. The tablets bring the people from where the came, from TV, from just consuming and getting dumber and dumber—before they consumed crappy TV shows and now apps and whatever.
