I completely agree with the parent.

I am going to take a liberty here and assume something, while trying to be honest and not a troll: if you're reading this website, the iPad is probably not targeted toward you.

A reoccurring narrative within the content presented on slashdot are progressive ideas, suggestions, fixes, hardhacks that can allow for a greater level of user customization and control. By its very nature (and a key marketing point to many Apple products) the iPad is the opposite of this. The iPad does not allow for advanced customization or unintended user control (non-removable battery, no CD/DVD drive, limited RAM/HD space, etc).

Instead, you need to think of the iPad as an appliance, like a refrigerator or vacuum. These devices are A) often found throughout the house B) do one thing at a time. The iPad is the software/hardware equivalent of this as shown by its lowered price (for Apple standards), simplified interface, and inability to multitask program and its sole purpose is to do one thing at a time.

If you can't get by now who the target market is for this product, you're not the target demographic as the parent stated.

Hello, I'd love an invite to QuakeLive! If you could send one to asterax*NOSPAM*@gmail.com, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks. :)

As we've all read Dred Scott v. Sanford on our friday nights, instead of hitting the clubs, slaves in the United States are not considered citizens. If they are not citizens, they are not allowed the right to sue in court. The Apple employees must be citizens if they're allowed to sue in court.

No. I did search. If you would have read the question, you would have known that I didn't know what I was looking for. I've never bought a CD/DVD duplicator. I don't know what makes a good one.
