This reads more like "why the iPad will catch on as an eBook reader, but not for other types of reading". When I read books I want to be immersed... when I read magazines or newspapers, I actually like the ability to have a wikipedia tab open to look up stuff, and the ability to dive deep on certain topics -- while still maintaining context of the original story.
1. Why is the ipad considered an eReader, when it is just a little computer? I thought eReader meant using electrically-modifiable ink, not light-based retina-burners.
2. As a second point, my android device is a little baby computer, with a kinda lame phone application. It's not a 'smart' phone. It's the progression of ubiquitous computing.
3. I don't have fucking apps on my android device. I have applications, or programs. Just because it is on my baby computer (not smartphone), it doesn't mean it is not just a another program.

Nit-pick done.
