> Why do we need to criticize one tool because it is not equal or better to another?

Probably because we want it to become better :-)

> But calling the iPad a failure because it doesn't fit to your work

I'm sorry that's the impression you took away from the article, because that wasn't what I was trying to communicate. Perhaps I shouldn't have said "failure", but I did try to explain what I meant by the word, by going back to what the iPad was originally meant to be: the car to the PC's truck, a better device than a PC for the vast majority of users.

I think it's unfortunate that it failed to achieve this.

It's great that there are authors who still use typewriters, but that's exactly my point: that's what the iPad is. It's a niche tool for people who have very specific needs. That's fine, but I don't think it's the iPad's full potential.
