So the Apple tablet has everyone's knickers in a twist. Apple is going to blow up your expectations of what a slab of silicon and a plastic screen can do. They're going to sell you rainbows and angels' wings in a oversimplified white box and everyone is going to pee on themselves about how awesome it's going to be. And it'd better be awesome.
Here's why.
After Apple releases the tablet, that'll be it. The same week that the iphone came out, everything in the cell phone industry ground to a halt and here we are, twenty years later (in tech time, anyway), with no innovation beyond the addition of wifi, eventually. So Apple defined the new generation of phones, and here we are, waiting for them to define the budding generation of tablet PCs. And it's not going to be awesome.
If you hung out with me during a very specific point during the late spring of 2007, you heard one of my rants on what I wanted from a tablet, so you should probably stop reading this now. In fact, I'm going to put the rest of this rant below the break so that you don't even see it if you don't want.
