It could be I'm being a bit of a luddite unnecessarily. But I've seen very
few iPads in the starbucks around Columbia university and NYU. Like  zero.
I saw one in a starbucks in a Barnes and noble on the upper west side.
Then another in the same place. One once on a subway. And they've been out
for not a short while. With different brands even.
The kids seem to think the net books have a lot more functionality.
Like a keyboard maybe.
And the kids are bloody geniuses. I'm impressed by  them.
I want to switch to their breakfast cereal.

You guys laughed when I said an iPad should be an iPhone.
It should be a big iPhone.

Then some company started making pad which had a phone in them and they
started selling like hotcakes.

Me I'm not going to go buy an iPhone then go out again and buy an  ipad.
I want all my I's in the same pod.
