between my Windows7 machines at home, and my history of WinMo phones until the EVO...I really wouldn't call myself a fanboy...especially for the fruit.

A good piece of tech is a good piece of tech. Anyone that has an iPad can attest that they NOW use their iDevice more than originally intended. There are plenty of things that the EVO can do...and the iPad can't...but there are plenty of things that the iPad can do BETTER...than the EVO...simply due to form factor.

I'm active duty military...I found ways of using my iPad at work...and now considering deploying to Afghanistan WITH the iPad in an otterbox simply because I can load it up with technical manuals...etc.

I think for those folks that are so close minded that they can't recognize good/effective technology simply because of an label OR manufacturer...they're limiting themselves.

It would be like a dev saying that they're happy with one build of a ROM...and refuse to make it better...OR better yet...look around and see what other innovations can be incorporated to make the ROM better.

Maintaining tunnel vision will only result in inferior products...think m$ for the past few years...and only NOW have they been looking around and seeing Google and Apple catching them AND surpassing them in different areas...before they realize they need to INNOVATE.
