>1) I'm sure pundits predicted a lot of things. Cheap cop-out. The most widespread prediction was that the iPad would be expensive in the "around $999" region. 2) That's nonsense. The only thing the iPad had was its screen, otherwise it was already inferior when it launched. Now, that's nonsense, if I ever read one. For over a year there was no competition to the iPad worth mentioning. Point to anything if you have. Prepare to be ridiculed. Android wasn't even ready for tablets back then.
