I didn't say many problems. But if you look carefully at my previous
posts regarding just the news paper industry that would include
Many people and some of their problems. There are others who
find that it will fill their need and perhaps solve what "they" not you consider
a problem as well.

Remember just because a person doesn't understand how something will benefit
someone or solve their problem doesn't mean that it won't indeed
do exactly that.

I respect your expertise as a "technologist" but not everyone who buys
technology cares about the technology. They just want it to do what they
want it to do and that may be something as simple as keep track of
recipes. That in and of itself may be the problem it solves.

I believe technologist and other technical people often
overlook the simple benefits that people get from a device that can accomplish a simple
task without a lot of technical jargon and diatribe that the so called
gurus think is necessary to get the job done. Nor do they care what
many so called experts think or what the Industry technologists and
trade rags think about what a device doesn't have,
what they think it should have, or how it compares with whatever
else is out there. People just want technology to do what they like it to do
in an easy way.

That why I can say I don't need to explain in detail what
specifically the problems and solutions this device will solve. You can
use your imagination just like everyone else. But i guess your right about
one thing "The vast majority of people saying that they're going to get one are the Apple fanboys."
I'm not a fanboy though. I'm a Mac Fanatic and i'm not buying one and I don't know of any other
Mac users who are going to get one either.

But what do I know? I've only spent the last 30 years of my life
trying to help plain people weed through the technology maze
and find something that will solve their simple problems.
When you include the human factor one can never tell what
people will buy and their reason for buying it. But if it's reason
enough for them then it's reason enough.
