The point is, and always has been, that Apple and the iPad NEVER were a real consideration for Mr. Adcock and he just keeps on in the process of making more and more OBVIOUS objections that were ALREADY OBVIOUS from the start.
You keep saying things that are not true of me Michael, and which are not true of the iPad. It certainly was not obvious to me that the iPad would not allow download of ePub and MOBI via wifi. It is also not true that the iPad was not a real consideration for me, and it is also not true that I wouldn't reconsider the iPad if the future OS is less restrictive. I don't understand why it is that *you* are so defensive about the iPad? Because you bought one??? I buy a lot of Dell computers, but if someone states an opinion that Dell is a load of cr*p then I'm not going to get bent out of shape, and if someone says that Amazon or Mickeysoft have made a hell of a lot of stupid decisions in their day -- well, I couldn't agree with that more!
