it is really amazing how clueless the zdnet pundits are. especially chris here.
when the ipad was announced they all laughed about the lack of a camera and usb port, saying, it won't sell, will be the iflop. when apple announced one million sold in a week, they said, it's only fanbois, it will be a niche thing.
when apple announced that they had sold 3 million in less than three month (making more than 2 billion) they now say it is a toy, only for media consumption, when most of the fortune 500 companies are already testing or deploying it for corporate use (it is taking healthcare by storm also).
apple can't fulfil orders, can't satisfy demand and has yet to expand it fully internationally. at a run rate of 1.5 million a month now (soon 2.5 million) they will easily sell 15 million ipads by year end.
and yet the zdnet pundits still scratch their heads, don't know what it is for and the best part: most of them haven't even tried it - they wait for an android competitor (for ideological reasons) after they have given up on the prospects of anything coming out of redmond.
sad, very sad.
