Everyone Rushing to Develop iPad “Killer”

Wired has this story about other companies working in their versions of the iPad.

And they’ll all probably fail.

For one, and many people don’t get this still, it has to be better than just the sum of it’s parts. It has to be better than just a spec-sheet. Everything has to come together to make a viable product, but what we’re probably going to see in the next year or so is everyone rushing to get something out there without thinking the whole thing through. I’d like to see someone come out with something new and different and stop trying to out-Apple Apple. Stop trying to make the iPad or iPhone “killer”…forge your own paths!
