My Twitter account is getting jealous, just the same as my iPhone got jealous for the first week I owned and played with my HTC Magic.

So today I'm going to take a look at something different.

It seems the iPad has now been relegated to second-banana in tech news this week, losing the momentum generated in the first two weeks after it was announced.  One writer even suggests it's getting a "meh" response.

Of course, I'm imagining the Buzz experience ON an iPad and looking forward to it.  Perhaps the two will go together quite nicely.

Anyway, there's someone daring to suggest (accurately in some ways) that there are tablets out there that do what the iPad doesn't.

That sort of misses the point of what the iPad DOES do and who for.  In real terms, the iPad will be for CONSUMING media.  It's aimed at people who don't like computers or operating systems, but who just want to email, watch video, play music and check the web as easily as possible.  So if it doesn't do what other tablets do, it may just succeed where the tablet PCs have previously failed.

Meantime, it's interesting to hear that while Bill Gates doesn't think over-much about the iPad, he DOES have a case of 'iPhone Envy.'  Hmmm...now there's a whole blog post of possible jokes from that line...

And the iPad's OTHER competition, the Kindle?  Seems there's some talk that Amazon will counter the iPad by giving away Kindles with subscriptions to Amazon Prime.

And you thought it was a slow week in iPad news, eh?

Meh...
