In a Retrevo survey published about a year ago, the majority of consumers said they didn’t really want an iPad.

This is seriously pathetic. This survey is from more than ago. Even if you ignore the fact that the Macalope when it came out, the survey is, you know, . It’s been debunked by . The Macalope guesses that Katherine had to go back that far because even Retrevo’s own subsequent surveys .

The rest of the piece is a yawn-inducing collection of conventional wisdom that Katherine trots out for PCWorld and again. Possibly because they hate their readers. Maybe there’s another possible reason, but one’s not coming to the Macalope.

Pity the Macalope, dear reader.
