LOL I had the same reaction.

Everything is typical Apple. Take a regular tablet, remove most of the features but make it sleek and look sexy, and then call it "magical" and overcharge for it. So it has everything of their typical product except the overcharging.

Which to me is my biggest complaint of Apple products. I don't care if you take away features from a product, but don't then turn around and charge even more for something with less.

EDIT: Then again, as far as price, compared to the Kindle and Nook this is much more expensive. So I take it back -- this is exactly another typical Apple product. I'm sure it will sell billions.

The Lenovo IdeaPad U1 Hybrid, on the other hand, looks like everything the iPad should be.

But I'm sure it won't sell nearly as much.
