I think it has more potential and was a bit disappointed tbh. Im sure after they sell boatloads they will bring out a better version that make the current one a throw away item.
The main problem is, I along with many other were expecting it to be more like a laptop, instead of just a giant iPhone. You cant really create anything with it, its made to only consume. Buy our apps, buy our music, videos and ebooks and you can use it. Oh and you can surf the web.
The problem with Apple is that they are control nazi's, Gates wouldn't get away with half the [censored] Job's does. They make great devices, but then castrate them because they want to "control the experience". And don't buy this horseshit about flash is dying so that's why apple wont use it, its pure greed and control. With flash you can get a whole heaps of things online for free! stream games, videos, and music. That's gonna cut into Jobsies apps store (that he takes 50% from developers from every sale) and music.
That said, I see some industries where it will be great like in hospitals putting in patient medical records on the fly, and things like that, or taking orders in cafes and things like that. You cant use it as your main personal computer, its more of a "have one on the side" device.
