Nope.. Dont want any hardware with artifical limitations and DRM crap.
There are other products that does the same but has none of these said limitations.
The ipad is even a joke as a ebook reader due to it having a LCD screen.

Ah, the Apple haters come out to play.  Apple will sell 300,000 today.  X1000 if it ever comes out will sell 300 total.  Apple succeed on the same basis (hardware tied to software) that Commodore/Amiga failed.

Probably because most apple fans are brainwashed idiots. Apple fanboyism is like a religion for some. You cant really compare a small company and a hobby platform with one of the biggest companies in the world.

Which happens to be more powerful and cheaper than the recently announced SAM 460EX.  People in glass houses should throw stones....

Yet the Sam is more useful since it isnt crippled by limitations like no multitasking and so on.
