>Have you seen the new ad for the Kindle where a woman (using Kindle) and a guy (using the iCant) are outside in bright sunshine reading books by the pool? I think that you can figure out who's having the problems seeing his book :)

No, we can think for ourselves and thats why there is so much backlash against Crapple. We think, unlike the fanboyz who sheepishly follow what Jobs feeds them. Here's what you can do with it. Here's what you can put on it. Here's how you can put stuff on it. Nothing more. You don't have to think.

As for the scenario I described, you are right there beside the camera that just took the photo. Let's see now. Your mother now has to fire up a computer, go online to email/facebook/picassa/blah/blah...to you. You then fire up another computer, go to your email/facebook/picassa/blah/blah...to download it to your computer. Then you plug in your iCant to "synch" it before you can view it. Whew. How about this instead? Connect that miniUSB cable from your mothers camera to your USB capable device (read real tablet) and just copy it. How about, take that SD card out of the camera, pop it into the SD slot of same device and copy it. Wow. How's that for magical

The next version of the iCant may get such magical features then Jobs will market it as miraculous and the sheeple will say, "we are not worthy". He'll be treated as the second coming.
