iPad shortage?

Gimme a Break.

It's a Marketing Scam / Ploy.

Look: You're going to manufacture and launch a new product.

You have TWO CHOICES:

(1) Make too many, and end up with them collecting dust in a
warehouse somewhere.

Or...

(2) Make too few, and end up creating an artificial "shortage"...
which is great for hype, prestige, and psychologically makes people
believe that its sales exceeded all forecasts...

Which would YOU choose?

The choice is obvious.

Apple makes like 30% of the profits on ALL CONTENT. Apple is just a
leach on the backs of all artists and content creators everywhere.

Apple is also the LEAST GREEN major technology company in the word.
When the battery on your iPod, or iPad, or iPhone dies.... You are
forced, by Apple, to throw the entire computer/phone/device in the
TRASH! ( because replacing the battery costs the same as a new
device! )

And, now...  Have you heard Apple's latest coercion tactic?

Apple is threatening iPhone app deveopers.  Telling them....   If you develop your apps for Android phones, we will PULL YOUR APP off of the iPhone App Store!

Apple are evil tyrants.

I don't blame Apple though.  I blame the fools who give them their hard-earned money.
