'Everyone has an opinion and they all stink', or it goes something like that.
This reminds me of movie critics and, wow, he even used bad words; he must be a real writer. He can predict the TP as "DOA" without even seeing one; I'm impressed. By name dropping J. Kenrick he already lost my sympathy; James dug a big hole with me over his political rant against the HP State 500; it is ironic that his name gets dropped as support for another HP basher. What happened, did HP pull advertising for Jkontherun.com last year?
If he knew half as much how to make a competitive 'tablet' would he be just writing about it?
Okay, enough with me bashing the basher; I don't think anyone believes for a minute that HP is going to outsell Apple coming out of the chute. By picking specs so chose to the iPad HP is sticking a foot in the door. You know it, we all know it, and HP knows it.
So if that is all they are doing why bother, you ask? Watch NASCAR or the Indy 500 to find the answer. The frontrunner, well out in front, confident of a substantial lead all of the sudden has a competitor break from the crowd behind. The competitor is still several lengths back and matching every move the leader makes. Soon, the leader starts to get nervous. Minor slipups begin to happen and soon the competitor is gaining. The leader starts to try harder and begins taking risks; some risks don't work and soon the competitor is right on the leader's bumper. The final turn on the last lap and all advantages are with the competitor!
