    Slashdot broke my mod points somehow, but this deserves to be modded to plus infinity. However, as anyone who saw the iPhone OS 4.0 presentation knows, there will be plenty of ads on the iPad too soon enough.

    Brand loyalty first has to be earned. Apple didn't get lucky, they created a lot of great products and earned their brand loyalty.
