Bottom line is, you need to gain marketshare somehow in this world to participate in it.
If you want to make a difference to the world (be it positive or negative), then you have to be successful first.

I have an ipad and the single best thing about it is the battery life. Other then that there is nothing to write about. But it definitely is for Idiots who don't have any idea about tech.

@ysss,
I think contributions, even small, can be massively influencial at the right place/time and are not solely dependent on marketshare. This has been shown in art and science over the ages.

@wmarone: I would argue that in this case (mobile platforms) we DO need to marketshare to fund our cause. Just look at where Nokia (and maemo) ends up with without sufficient fuel to prople them further.
@capt'n: yes, but usually the beneficiary is someone else. (another creator most likely, capitalizing on said art/tech)

My friend told me the iPad 2 is awesome because it has an A5 core.
I disputed with him telling him it has an ARM Cortex A9.
He told me I was a liar, that Apple officially said it was the A5 core.
... I thought for a second .... told him he was correct, it is called/nicknamed "The A5 processor". But the core is still an A9.
He called me a liar. I tried to reason with him.
I tried to explain that although the Apple A4 and the Hummingbird processors are different, they both are based on the Cortex A8 reference and thus are very very similar. And that, its the same thing with the Apple A5 and Tegra2 for the Cortex A9. Still called me a liar, said I was changing my story when "he proved I was wrong".
I told him I only changed it when I realized what he was saying, and told him I thought he meant the ARM Cortex A5 processor (eg Eagle). I told him after the ARM11 set, came the Cortex A8, then the Cortex A9, then the Cortex A5 (which isn't commercially available on any device).
He got confused and I tried a few different analogies (you are a man, but also a husband .... they're different things but you are both of them). He said he based this on the fact that he watched a 90minute video on the apple site.
I told him I based these off because I'm a geek and know more background knowledge than him. He still looked at me like I was dumb, and kept repeating why I wasn't listening to him, and instead just arguing. Yes he has the iPhone 4.

Engadget has a glowing review of the iPad2! It seems like the best one so far!
http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/09/ipad-2-review
It seems like a very clean and polished device!

Otherwise, you'll be the righteous guy shouting at everyone else with nothing to show.
