I am the Only Person who likes the iPad

So, a few days ago, I watched in amazement of the iPad. It's a beautiful device, that.. to me, felt, futureistic. It was fun, it was functional, and it was sexy. As a game designer, I saw some awesome potential from such a powerful device. Bottom line, I loved it

Also, possible answer to your troubles:


Lenovo Thinkpad U1
Announced early last month.

Yeah, i've been looking at that one.. That's a nice concept, possibly a good netbook replacement. But as I don't see the iPad as a laptop or netbook replacement it's not quite the same.

Besides, alot of what sold the iPad for me was the UI and games. I can't look at the iPad's Address book, email client, and calander and feel like it's beautiful and intuitive. Secondly on this thing, there is the matter of performance.

Well the tablet part has almost exactly the same specs as the iPad, with the added bonus of being able to connect it to the base and have a fully functional laptop with graphics card, bigger processor, optical drive and all the connections you need.

Lenovo is actually taking the same concept to the cellular market with LePhone (I love the name :P), but that's not so much for me.

But I already have a laptop with a bigger screen, more powerful processor and such. Let me see the UI and the useability.

And what I wouldn't give for the US to have Europe's Cell phone industry.

Haha, yeah you obviously don't live in Europe :P
Okay so cellphones is one area that's sort of understandable, but remember that we don't have the Zune overhere - And that the HD2 is coming to America soon, and it looks like you're gonna get a beefed up version too!

Tis true, but the HD2 is going to be on another carrier, And my current carrier is CDMA, and HD2 will be GSM under t-mobile.
