The iPad is a failure!!

The iPad pre-orders started last week, reports have placed them at over 100,000 so far. After the start of the frenzy the PC anti-Apple trolls started spewing their hate. One of my favorite pieces so far was this from PCWorld's Galen Gruman in his article iPad Pre-Orders: For Idiots Only

After all, the first-generation iPad is particularly likely to have disappointments, as it's the version that will tell us what, after the hoopla dies down, Apple should have done.

You know what, shut up! THis is the same crap that preceded the iMac and the iPhone both of which have been spectacular successes. I reserved on myself, I admit want one even if I don't know what to expect. Will it fail, I doubt it, but if you look at the numbers from Fortune's Philip Elmer-DeWitt the jig is up.

After the initial burst of excitement on Friday that saw iPad pre-orders coming in at the rate of 25,000 per hour, there was a dramatic fall-off over the weekend.

Any idiot could have predicted a drop off, why is that news? If they completely stopped selling, that would be news.

I predict that iPad, iPhone and Apple bashing will take a dramatic drop-off after hell freezes over.
