No other company gets all that free PR, it just happens to be that because of their successes their fans and detractors have super high standards. No one would get on Amazon or HP for making the same improvements Apple just did.

Apple is making too much profit on these things. I think the government needs to step in because it really isn't fair.

Seriously though, it's not an iPad, but the for the price it's about right. The volume button (or lack thereof) really makes no difference. The UI isn't so bad, it's more a problem of being laggy sometimes.
