But then again, the OP-1 is a beautiful piece of product design- like a Dieter Rams designed radio or clock, and an iPad is just- well a beautiful but rather dull piece of industrial design only prettied by the software that runs on it. ie it's 'a much of a muchness' (the iPad), and it will remain just that after its time has come. The OP-1 otoh will remain a collectable gem for years to come (similar to a Leica camera!).
There is only one way around it, and that is to fork out for a real OP-1, and put the iPad on eBay. (or stick your paddy under your pillow and forget it for a while! ;) :D )
I care about Leica cameras! I used to own 3 of them.
But unless you can think of another example, that'll do for now. The OP-1 is like an original iMac or the original hovering Hoover vacuum cleaner. It's a piece of industrial design art. Love it or loathe it! :)

pretty crappy example, who the hell around here cares about the leica camera? =P I'd rather have an ipad.
Not the greatest example, although I've just burnt my dinner through prolonged use of my OP-1 tonight...don't mind though, cheesecake for dessert!
