tablets are everywhere, can be shared, and do not make people look ridiculous. hell, even my cats have apps made just for them. haven't seen any viral videos of pets wearing a headset.

not being able to see how this is different is very disingenuous. when the ipad was released, nobody had a device like that. apple's headset was not the first. even those the came before did not gain a lot of traction. so apple is not blazing new trails here that people just don't understand yet. this is an accepted as niche product line for certain personalities.
