> Yeah, but remeber all these jokes before iPad came out. Who the hell needs this gigantic iPhone..

(1) it was more of a gigantic iPod Touch, not a gigantic iPhone, (2) I don't actually remember that many jokes about "who needs" it, though: I remember lots of techies griping that they preferred a tablet to not have iOS style restrictions (because, techies), and jokes about the name.

Most of us thought we were getting an actual computer in tablet form.. (was a big disappointment when I realized what it was... or... more correctly... what it wasn't)
