I like my toaster. I like my blender. Why would I buy a toaster-blender if I already have both of them? The market for the iKotex is honestly people who like iphones and macs.... and most of those people already have both items. From a market segmentation perspective, I don't know what the appeal of this device is beyond someone who is obsessed with Macs?
From a utility perspective, what is the value proposition? A screen I can touch. Great. Can I type on it? Oh, barely because it has a 10" screen? Well... then I guess I can use a keyboard. So I buy a keyboard to make it function like a computer... but it doesn't have real computing power, nor can I run any programs on it (nor can I run more than one program at a time). Why am I getting this thing again? Oh yeah... so I can read books. So I'm going to hold up a 1.5lb device to read books? Doesn't sound comfortable.
Well, its great for pictures and video. Oh, but I already have a TV and a laptop....why do I need another device?
BUT ITS GOT APPS!!! Hmm.... the internet seems to work fine for me.
But its a great gaming device!!!! Wait... it doesn't have a controller.... and playing games that require anything but tilt-and-tap controls sucks. .... k.
I can understand specific applications, as some people have pointed out, like in medical settings perhaps. On the whole thought.... wtf.
