Those of you who find my anti-Apple rants to be tiresome will be happy to hear that my stylist friend has moved from sprucing up my wardrobe to trying to convince me that I'm completely off-base when it comes to Mac products. He's got a long way to go. But popping by with his just-out-of-the-box 3G iPad with kenneth in the (212) up and running on the screen was definitely a step in the right direction. Very cool!
While I've always liked the hardware design of Apple products, unlike Adam I've never been able to bring myself to actually take that first bite. I prefer Windows to OSX. On principle alone I have resisted social pressure to join the iPod people. I came close to wanting an iPhone, but could not justify paying that much for phone service. Unless something better comes out by Christmas I may finally break down and buy a second generation iPad next year. Of course something will have to be done about playing videos and non-advertising Flash and Silverlight objects in the browser. Just look at this brief video review at http://current.com/shows/infomania/92404989_the-ipad-sucks-tech-report.htm (Warning: This video can't be viewed on an iPad.)
