iPad Launched....for the rich

Ready for take of...sales. iPad hits stores in the US. The techies embracing it. So what's the use of iPod, and iPhone and netbooks and laptops and mobile phones that can connect to the web? Are we supposed to carry a bond paper size er, like tabloid size techie tablet just to be hip?

I wish Steve Jobs and those geniuses at Apple can give us product to help better the lives of the poor instead of enriching the already well to do who can afford to waste $$$$ for their gadgets.

In other words create a product that we majority can afford to buy. Here in this country, if you own any Apple product.. you're a Mac fanatic and you speak of money. It's a status symbol. That's a fact.

That's not necessarily true. The vast majority of people I know have an iPod. That's no longer a status symbol--it's now an expected appliance, becomming almost a necessity of life just like a cell phone.
Apple computers are more expensive, yes, but they're not so rediculous that nobody can afford them. While PCs are still cheeper, and more common, Mac users don't necessarily have to be rich.
The iPad just seems worthless, awkward, and massive to me. I'd rather not have one.

Where I'm from, it's a status symbol. Owning Mac and having one. Whatever kind of product they have. I live in a Third world country. Developing nation to be politically correct.
