Let alone protect it from labrador slobber...

I should have clarified: "Save" as compared to what <em>I</em> thought it was going to cost. ;) I thought it was going to cost. ;) ]]> By: Jon http://www.halfbrown.com/is-the-apple-ipad-a-game-changer/comment-page-1/#comment-373 Jon Wed, 27 Jan 2010 23:07:37 +0000 http://www.halfbrown.com/?p=1454#comment-373 @Billson I agree that it's more iPod than Macbook, but for what I'd use the iPad for, I don't think the ball was dropped at all. IMO it's not meant to be a laptop replacement, so I can can live without things like a camera, Flash support, etc. But... I can blog, I can write, I can check email and browse the web. My MacBook Pro can do all that other stuff.

If you love the ipod touch, but hate all the convenience of a camera, flash support, multi-tasking, hd ouput, or customizable desktop, than the iPad is what you're looking for. Apple dropped the ball big-time.

I think Apple's price-point wins as I keep hearing this same story from a number of people.
