Good post, did not see Tech's updated post. Very good fake though.

I agree. All Apple products are way over-hyped. What's so special about this tablet? What makes this and all Apple products different from the rest, besides the low performance, high price tag, a lit logo, and annoying commercials? Every time they release a product, they showcase it as if it were something revolutionary, when in fact, it's nothing that we haven't seen before.

Take for example, a look at the iPhone, and compare it to a much faster/cheaper phone such as the HTC HD2 or Nexus One. Name ONE thing besides more apps, that makes the iPhone "better" than these or most high-end smartphones for that matter. I was an apple fan when the first iPods came out, after that I released why the hell I'm a paying such a high price for a logo, when there are way better things out there. Good for Apple that they have a lot of fans (mind controlled zombies), but I'm not going to jump on this bandwagon again, that's for sure.

What's so great is that it makes so many people unreasonably irritable. :-)

The same reason people get irritated by hearing the same damn song (Black Eyed Peas) for the 5th time in one day...

If it's cool then it will be cool. We don't need (and are getting pretty tired of hearing) any false hype. Announce it already so we can move on to more important things.
