When I scrolled through the iGoogle RSS headlines, I came across “Be smart, don’t buy into the iPad hype.”  I knew even before I clicked on it that it would be a Wilcox story.  Key quotes:

• The Mac-obsessed blogosphere, news media and social crowd is a frightening but  exhilarating phenomenon. (Duh.)
• 
  
• Apple loves to use sales numbers for marketing advantage. (Why not?)
• 
  
• Apple hype is simply out of control. (Your point being…?)
• 
  
• Were you wowed by the iPad’s aspirational marketing or Steve Jobs’ product introduction? (The intro. Nothing else matters.)
