Too many parallels between the iPad reveal today and the Wii’s life-to-date NOT to do another of these poorly drawn, corny comics. Name calling? Check! Industry “experts” think it’s too casual or light on features? Double check! Attacking hardware from a proven company without seeing ANY of the 2nd gen software yet? Triple check! We have a winner!

Now, I’m not saying this thing will be a success, but come on. With the wild success of the Wii, and the incredible success enjoyed by the iPhone (which was also doubted, at first)…I mean, come on. To even clarify further, I don’t “care” one way or the other if it succeeds or not either. If it’s fun/useful, I’ll buy, just like my iPhone. If not, I’ll retain hundreds of dollars for some other fun gadget purchase later on.

Update: Also inspiring this post is the fact that Steve Jobs could give a shit what you think about the name.
