iPad Will Beat Netbooks With "Magic"

entirely_fluffy writes "In a talk intended to woo investors, Apple Chief Operating Officer Tim Cook said the iPad will win over potential netbook buyers, but not because of specs or features. No, Cook said, the iPad's magical properties will seal the deal. 'The netbook is not an experience people are going to continue wanting to have,' Cook said, according to Macworld. 'When they play with the iPad and experience the magic of using it ... I have a hard time believing they're going to go for a netbook.'" Another thing that would help would be a camera and a $100 discount, but hey Magic is cool too, provided they have enough mana.

They get mocked, because as soon as Apple release a phone/tablet/fridge, they act as if phones/tablets/fridges are the best thing ever, and make wild claims that no one ever did these things before.
And now we get it on a product that isn't even released yet. It's the new Duke Nukem Forever in terms of hype preceding a release.
