Using iPad here has caused me to ignore loads of posters here by mistake

That is why I dislike iPad. Incredibly over-hyped piece of ..... (fill in the blank)

They're not, they're great.

Too heavy to read ebooks, to cumbersome to work on contents... too pricey compared with a good netbook which can do twice as much... etc etc
Anyway, sometimes when I scroll down, I touch links I am not suppose to and it opens up new windows I don't intent to. That is why sometimes I did not even know I have touched the ignore button on some of my mates here!

Too heavy to read books? How fucking lightweight are you? Buy a stand for it if that's what you want to do with them.
And it's not my or Apple's fault if you've got fat, obtrusive fingers.
It's 'cool' not to like them, but really they're great and I'm an unashamed fan.

Try reading it for more than 10 minutes! It numbs my fingers! hahaha, a stand for iPad? Just imagine lugging that around when iPad is touted to be mobile. Looks like more apps/equipment for apple to earn?
My fingers are no fatter than any. Try holding and scrolling, unless you work on the table, it is cumbersome but iPad is suppose to work with both hands...
Cool to dislike iPad? It is exactly the opposite for those who own one think it is the coolest thing to die for. I am giving my opinion having own and use one. Compared with owning and using notebooks/netbooks pc, I feel those who chase after Apple products have more dollar than sense. (pun intended)

I hardly chase after them. I get them free for work, so I'm free to make an unbiased opinion.
Given the technology (especially in the eBooks area) that have been borne out of a result of iPads actually exisiting, I think it's fair to say they've made an impact on me and the rest of the society that goes further than them merely being superficial "cool" and "to die for" products.
If you aren't privvy to this, then I'd auggest you're not using yours to it's potential.
And they weren't invented or solely marketed as a 'book reading' platform, so to criticise them for not being one is missing the point. Something, you and your fat fingers seem to be quite adept at.
