Of course I do.

I have never understood why PC makers haven't simply copied Apple's design cues in both look and feel.

Apple makes some truly beautiful products but to me, some of their lifestyle accessories are really light on substance.

I don't defend it, just report it.
Then you should be upset that the iPad doesn’t have a higher resolution screen, larger internal storage, and more external connection options. I just don’t see the iPad being any closer to what it is you say you want than are current netbooks or the Epson image banks before them – unless it is as you say all about appearance and brand names, but then that sorta makes my point – no?
