It would be a pity if this article were actually posted, because it's unclear, poorly written, mis-spelled, and grammatically incorrect.

I'd recommend starting over, doing a little research, and writing a summary with actual substance and relevant links to supporting articles/websites. Slashdot isn't a personal blog, you can't write like it is.

No, I'm not a moderator, but I've been around since a year or two after /. started.

To be completely honest, I'm assuming the moderators are going to let this submission die off.

I get that you're new around here, but spamming other articles because your submission isn't posting fast enough is a bad idea.

Also, if you really want your submission to be posted, perhaps you should try spelling things correctly, capitalizing things correctly (and consistently), and overall writing a better article.

Most people don't buy tablets for either of those reasons. They buy iPads because everyone else has an iPad, and they don't want to get left behind. The few who buy Android often want them specifically for their lower cost, so they don't have to hand their iPads to the kids on long car trips. I sold laptops and tablets for a year and some change, and the tech community's perception of consumer values vs the reality is pretty skewed.

What does timeliness of inventions of items/processes/ideas have to do with America getting bombed by the Japanese during WW2?

The difference here is that Gizmodo wrote huge articles practically screaming about how they paid five grand for Apple's prototype iPhone. On a popular news outlet. Read by millions of people.

That admission alone should guarantee Chen and his boss some jail time; there's no way you can say "Oops, didn't know this was a bad thing to do!" when they paid five grand for it. That payment dug the hole they're sitting in now.
