I love it when the faithful think that features and price are not competitive.

>The experience is why I got an iPad
I use it to read HN - with the iPad user experience (TM) mere troll posts are transformed into repartee of Swiftian brilliance by simply having 24bit colour in the icons and rounded edges to the buttons.
