Apple iPad is like a car without a motor
@ 2010/01/28YESTERDAY WE WERE TREATED to the spectacle of Apple CEO Steve Jobs attempting to peddle a slow touchscreen netbook without a keyboard for nearly twice the price of anything similar on the market.
It reminded me of my grandfather, a crook who set up a used car business in Durban auctioning dodgy cars to Boers who were not used to that sort of thing. He was so good at it that he once won a bet that he could sell a car without a motor for more than he would get for a car with one in it. The story goes that he did it by emphasising how the motor that shipped in the car limited your options.
When Steve Jobs stood up yesterday with the "Ipad" he clearly was having a laugh.

anyway; why are we discussing a 300 camera ipad?
I have no clue why we are discussing this, maybe it's the only interesting thing about the iPad
