than the iPad2? I don't really understand the hype.

\_ The iPad camera seems like a joke to me. The iPad is just
to big to be useful for taking pictures. Maybe it makes

"<manuf> <model>" like in the older models? E.g. "Droid X2 by
Motorola", "ThunderBolt by HTC" and "Revolution by LG", vs. "Motorola

2013/1/26-2/19 [Politics, Recreation/Media] UID:54590 Activity:nil | 1/26 Wozniak says the the Steve Jobs movie clip is historically inaccurate,
that Jobs was not so much a visionaire that Jobs claimed to be, as Jobs
was just looking to make a few quick bucks. Why should we trust
Woz's words over Jobs'?
\_ Seriously? Read both the Steve Jobs biography and Woz's autobiography.
