Neil Gabler, writing in the Boston Globe, wonders what’s the point. A nugget:

What is the need for, say, an iPad, or any of the thousands of other gizmos that flood the market? One might conclude that the need is not so much for the device (a larger iPhone!), or the software or the website or the app (following someone’s daily doings in 140-character bites!) as for change itself. We seem to be addicted to change for its own sake.

Much of this new geek stuff isn’t even change.

It’s the same stuff with different logos. Sure, rigatoni looks different from rotini, but they are both noodles and pretty much interchangeable.
