No Time For iPad

I am going to start catgorizing the various themes that are appearing from techies arguing about how the iPad is going to fail. Here’s what I will call the ‘No Time For iPad’ claim:

- Stan Schroeder, Mashable

Check out your schedule. What do you do during the day? I spend at least 9-10 hours in front of my computer, working (if I were working on any other job, I still probably wouldn’t be able to use the iPad). I spend an hour or two training; add a couple of coffees or a beer with friends, perhaps a movie, or a night out at the concert, and the rest is sleep. I simply don’t see when I’d be able to pick up the iPad. The way I live my life right now, it’d be collecting dust.

Right. Notice how Schroeder never reads a book or a magazine, because all his reading is on the PC. Which isn’t what the normal human being does. Also note there is no cooking dinner (looking us a recipe), or lying in bed watching a movie or TV.

His argument could have been about the iPod. With all that busy, busy socializing and hard work, when would he have time to listen to music?

He also doesn’t mention commuting: I am betting that I will be seeing a lot of iPads in the subway.
