Why Is Every Non-geek In My Family in a Froth About the iPad?

[Lemur]

Okay, maybe I was unclear in my OP, but here's the thing: Non-geeks are in a tizzy over this thing. Yes, as computer geeks we an weigh the netbook alternatives on NewEgg, and we can expound at length on the foolishness of using a custom-designed CPU, but that's not really the point, friends.

Every non-geek I know is getting a little bonkers about this. Consider that before posting yet another Apple IZ teh suxxx0rs thought, please.

-edit-

Engaget gets the first hands-on. If this gets adopted by a few hospitals, a few universities, this could be a very large phenomenon.
