You need to think like your customer to understand the usefulness of this device to them.
Ah, the good old, "this wasn't intended for you, so your opinions are invalid."

I don't really care to speculate about the mass market success or failure of this thing, but I feel it does show a failure to innovate - something Apple usually does well. I have a co-worker who's a Mac fan and he would go on and on about all this neat stuff the Apple tablet was going to have. He - like everyone else I've heard from - was disappointed by iPad. It's just a big iPod Touch.

That disappointment is really palpable amongst geeks right now. Geeks who learn about these products first, and could be hyping it from the get-go. But won't.
