Oh boy, another iHater...
Looks to me like whatever someone might say that's positive about the iPad, you are going to argue and disagree with.. But here goes anyhow.
First, the iPad doesn't, and hasn't been advertised as a replacement for a laptop. I can't understand why so many people (that want to rip anything that Apple puts out) don't understand that. Maybe they do but somehow they think it's a good argument. It's not.. It just shows their ignorance.
Second, sorry do disappoint you, but it's not the Apple fanboi base that's buying up the iPad. Yes, many people who own other Apple products have bought an iPad (guilty here), but there are lots and lots of folks who don't own any other Apple products have bought the iPad. The iPad has been a very real success story, like it or not.
As for the iPad not having a DVD player, I suppose you are also holding off on buying a smartphone until they come out with one of those that has a DVD player? Obviously not because that's not the intention of a smartphone. The same is true for the iPad. It's not intended to be a solution for everything.
Here's a good idea. Don't buy an iPad.. It doesn't sound like it's a good fit for you! But don't be so arrogant as to think that what's right for you is right for everyone. Obviously many of us really like our ipads and find them very useful, and even help us to be more productive.
