No keyboard and no USB ports would make the iPad an instant failure to consumers. They said that the Windows netbook would make the perfect road companion thanks to its low cost and its ability to run all the major software of the Wintel platform.

Those same people are still insisting that the iPad is merely a fad and that the ZunePad and ZunePad Pro will be the perfect tablets for consumers and businesses alike. Even Wall Street ignores the impact of the iPad because despite selling so many more iPads YOY the past quarter, Apple’s shares were sold off due to the weakness of iPhone units sold. Unusually high iPad sales meant nothing to Wall Street. Apple just can’t catch a break.

Strong word of mouth?

Don’t we go through the multiple times a year.

What about Apple TV or iTV or whatever it was called before WWDC 2012. What about the iPhone 5 last year.

There is always some hype and rumor associated with Apple, many of which are not true.

The iPad Mini may just be many in a long series of disappointments for Apple Disciples.
