Not yet they aren't. But some people already want them to be and Apple really likes that. People are already used to smart phones being on non-neutral networks. The iPad is just about half way between a smart phone and a laptop, and it's on a non-neutral network. The next version of the iPad will have a slightly larger screen, have a little more memory, and come with a stand that lets you prop it up on a desk and use a keyboard. Jobs has already said, and this article is echoing the sentiment that this is a new way of doing personal computing. This is Apple's way of squashing net neutrality. So if you bought an iPad, congratulations, you are letting Steve Jobs tell you what you can and cannot do with your own computer and you are paying top dollar for the privilege. If you are a developer that is working on an app for the iPad or iPhone and you aren't also releasing that app on other platforms, thanks, you are helping make net neutrality a thing of the past. You may like your Apple products now, but a benevolent dictator is still a dictator. The iProduct might have everything you could possibly want right now, but the moment you can't get something you want because Apple says no, remember you were warned, and I hope it stings...a lot.

To cast further doubt on the story, consider the name. Amanda Flowers. Mandy Flowers. Man Deflowers. Yeah....no.
