Personally I'm looking forward to the vega android tablet
and any other cutting edge tablet. I believe the competition
and and the subsequent R&D from all platforms will push
the envelope to the max. In the end we will all benefit.

Regarding Apple's censorship, dictatorship, post purchase control
ect, I understand the need and the process and some of the why's.
It's an argument that has gone on for years.

At one point before Steve Jobs came back Apple edged toward
a more open environment and it almost brought the company down.
Apparently their business model and customer base essentially
revolted and this is where we are today.

Most Apple customers prefer the control for abvious reasons.
But the real test will come when Steve Jobs is no longer head of Apple.

For me the issue is clear. One could call it fanboy and all of that
other garbage but the truth is ease of use and the way the
hardware talks to everything thing else Apple is my reason for the
choice.

As an engineer/musician the platform cuts to the chase without
a lot of software hardware issues.

Lots of people want the geek/tweek the hardware OS experience.
Me? I don't need it for what I am doing.
I have in the past done some coding and hardware manipulation
but I'm trying to finish a CD and time just wont allow allow me to
stretch out and embrace other hardware OS outlets these days.
