Critique Steve what you will. Point out iPad's lacking features what you will... The point to learn from decades of digital naysayers who proved clueless is:<p>Predicting how people will use (and how many will buy) is <i>not</i> as easy as it looks.  No where as easy as  Monday morning quarterbacking.  And Apple/Steve certainly have no 100% track record.  But they have batted  &#62;.500 - in a ballgame (CE &#38; PCs) where batting &#62;.300 is impressive.
