I don't disagree. As we've discussed in previous threads on the iPad, many are opposed to it's closed-system. Everyone is touting open-system as the better approach, and I definitely support that as the way to go, but few are discussing the best way to meld an open-system with turn-key simplicity. Microsoft products lack the industrial design that Apple is famous for as well. So I agree with you when you say that a well-designed, open-system product with turn-key activation and networking with other devices will certainly subvert Apple's domination of this market.
