Why we should not elevate iPad and Apple to hero status – when it’s just a ploy to get your dosh

Apple has hit upon a winning formula. Make it simple and easy, focus on accessibility. Look and feel like innovators and be just modestly innovative enough to be believed. Spin hard, generate mystique and sustain a loyal following. And close up the box so hard that no-one can copy you, leverage you or even change a battery.

It’s apparent that it’s a workable formula.

Why I won’t buy an iPad (and think you shouldn’t, either) – Boing Boing

Gadgets come and gadgets go. The iPad you buy today will be e-waste in a year or two (less, if you decide not to pay to have the battery changed for you). The real issue isn’t the capabilities of the piece of plastic you unwrap today, but the technical and social infrastructure that accompanies it.

If you want to live in the creative universe where anyone with a cool idea can make it and give it to you to run on your hardware, the iPad isn’t for you.

If you want to live in the fair world where you get to keep (or give away) the stuff you buy, the iPad isn’t for you.

If you want to write code for a platform where the only thing that determines whether you’re going to succeed with it is whether your audience loves it, the iPad isn’t for you.
