Bill Gates Responds To Apple iPad

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the tired-of-these-yet dept.

superapecommando writes "Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates has called Apple's iPad a 'nice reader' but claims netbooks are the way forward. Speaking briefly to BNET's Brent Schlender, the Microsoft Chairman, who had admitted to being in awe of the iPhone on first release, saw nothing in the iPad to really excite him."

    If you really believe the load of shit you just posted then you obviously have the technological vision of a gnat. Tell me, where is the big explosion of pocket pc's that resulted from that supposed feature parity you're claiming. I'm willing to bet the iPad will be huge, but Pocket PCs were worm riddled dogs in comparison. Sorry, but if you are really so short sighted to think that a Pocket PC feature list makes a compelling argument then maybe you should be posting for the Wall Street Journal or some other technologically challenged dinosaur.
