When it comes to tech, I'd say at least 98% of people are ignorant about the subject.
i.e. People who buy apple products. (except maybe the ipod)
Exactly, most people could care less about rooting, roms, tweaking, overclocking, batman and robin themes, leggos, star wars, moddingthey have a life, a family, a job...........they just want to use the phone as simply and as fast as possible. The hardcore nerds that hang here and other forums seem to think it stupid to buy anything expensive, simple to use and maybe frivolous ie the ipad, to have by their bed at night to read a chapter in their book, hit facebook one last time, pop off an email, read the morning paper, read a book while waiting in line or the doctors office...to me an ipad is a natural progression to paper bound reading material. All your sources are in one, instantly, and very beautifully too as well as elegant fast and fluid.
I am sure someone out there will come up with an android tablet that has 3 cameras, hd and 3d video recording, wifi, wimax, 3g, 500 gb hard drive, flash 23.5 , blueray player and recorder, projecter, hdmi, usb, bluetooth 7.6a, flatbed scanner, copier, fax, vegetable steamer, chop sticks, ninja throwing star, and one that is cheaper than the ipad.
But again, that is not what apple was aiming for.
