Re: The Apple iPad
What sold iPod though, ultimately, was iTunes. The iPod was a nice piece on engineering, but once iTunes came out of the Mac only club, and had every song ever for $.99 that only worked with the iPod, it suddenly got wheels.
iPad, however, doesn't have an exclusive store and function to use with it. It is banking on the fact people want a big, internet tablet, and that Apple can throw enough momentum behind it to make it appealing to it. It has music, but you can get that anywhere cheap. Movies/TV, same. Apps? There's an iPod for that, has been. Apple is selling this device on a feeling, plain and simple, and hoping it will stick to the wall. Plus Firewire? Really?
