Plus, finally, after 24 years, the App store provides the perfect way for all those loyal Talking Moose
adherents (the ones who remember multi-finder and floppy disks) to pay a gesture of appreciation to whomever takes the time to do a Talking Moose app. Over 1,000,000 will purchase within the first month. Suggested price: $1.99.

Do it.

Drew, agreed, it can be dangerous. But remember, all people talking about the iPad right now are either press or hardcore computer users. It's like querying a group of men whether they'll buy a pack of tampons. Our sample selection is skewed against the iPad.

That's a very dangerous place for a product to be. "Looks great, but not for me." Everybody admires it, nobody buys it. Been hearing a lot of that. :-)

I agree that something very like the iPad will be the future in the long run, though. If Apple is persistent and learns from its mistakes, it could even be the iPad.
