Us geeks don't really have to buy an iPad/Pod/Phone. We all know it's locked down, feature-less, dressed up pile of poo (it's an okay device but I liked saying that:)) Let the sheeple buy that if they really want to, the most we can do is highlight the inadequacies for people who don't understand.
But the real question is the state of the technology nation. It is a democracy where people vote with their wallets, some people are the leaders with the vision to lead the tech country on a specific path, its us, the geeks who have to make sure that our man wins, so the increasing lockdowns don't become a fact of life.
PS: the iPod touch is touted as a music player, yet it doesnt have any hardware music keys, even Nokia knows better when they advertise something as expressMusic. Har har har
