Amazed and underwhelmed

by the iPad.

Amazed by the intense worldwide interest in a product announcement by an American computer company. They don't make life-saving drugs, rockets that go to the moon or a solution to world-ending catastrophe. They make computers and music players. Yet all over the world there was intense speculation preceding Steve Job's speech and much discussion afterwards. We care SO MUCH about all these things that don't much matter !

Underwhelmed by the iPad itself. Basically it's a big iPod tOuch, and it looks like it's too big to fit in your pocket. Meanwhile the iPod tOuch has utterly wooed Pat, especially since she's discovered a treasure-trove of free books to read courtesy of Stanza.
