  1. “iPad is no longer going
    to enjoy the non-competitive environment of being the only tablet PC in
    the market so far”???The iPad NEVER enjoyed any such privilege, as I’d been equipping businesses with Microsoft Tablet PC’s for about a decade before the iPad was released. “nevertheless, they will retain the joy of being the
    first PC and the embarking of this technological advancement, which no
    one can change.”?????????The first what??? (A) iPad’s are not the first anything. (B) Even apple avoids using the term PC for it’s products. (C) No-one can change history no matter what a closet fanboy they may be. This is a potentially valuable article outlining a nice selection of current model tablet computers and their pros & cons – yet it begins with factual errors (at best) and maintains a heavy Apple bias throughout.
