Newsweek hates, then loves, the iPad

The author of Newsweek's glowing iPad cover story sang a different tune at the unveiling

They saw the boom of the iPhone market and can't wait to jump on the next wave. Apple may be a nightmare to deal with, but it's rounded up a huge pool of customers—75 million iPhones and iPod Touch units have been sold—and created an online store that makes it easy for developers to reach them. The lucky developers will make a fortune.
