Apple's new iPad
Meh. It's a big iPod touch.
Plus it sounds like a feminine hygiene product. http://www.appleinsider.com/articles..._for_ipad.html

I came here to say that.
I'm sure my husband will want one for his birthday.

As I read elsewhere: "Not only is my Netbook faster, but it has 160gb's of space, Flash, Java, AVI support, Wi-Fi, supports just about every video game I've owned since Pre-2005, and cost $200 less. " To its defense: "It's beautiful and fast, because it only does one thing at a time"

Joke away, just spell it's name right. They'll make a ton of money on the geeks that have to buy the latest Apple product for bragging rights.

Reminds me of the computers in Brazil.
Get a fresnel lens and a retractable arm, and you, too, can convert your iPod into an iPad!

I was thinking it might be a good alternative to the Kindle. with the Kindle, you can only download an item one time, right? So with this gadget, you can download your books into your itunes, and have them backed up in case you switch devices or whatever.

The iPad apparently has it's own proprietary ereader and bookstore, but should be able to run Kindle for iPod app that's already available. At about the same price as a Kindle Dx, but with a lot more functionality, I'm sure it will impact Kindle Sales.

If it has a handwriting to text or a handwriting capture function I could see it being very useful to college students.
