"tedious and lacking imagination"?

Well, I guess if someone is pointing out the endless shortcomings of a product you happen to like the situation will feel tedious. And lacking imagination????

Well, seeing as how this appears to me to be nothing less then an article holding itself out to be a factually based critique, I'm not quite sure what increased levels of imaginative writing would do a service to anyone reading this.

The fact is, as I have been saying from almost the first day of release of the iPad is that it appears to be a very expensive interesting toy with quite limited ability to do things people are used to doing with computer type devices, and so for those purposes it really is an overpriced paper weight.

Sure, some people out there have found some quite handy uses for the iPad, keeping in mind that if in a world of almost seven billion people, if a couple of million at least cannot find something good to use your product for then you really have created a dud.

Keep watching because I swear iPad sales will drop off significantly in the near future, and unless a few key things change with the iPad it will go down as a footnote in computing history as the invention that roared like a shot out of a cannon for a brief period then thudded to the ground without much fanfare or impact.
