My understanding is that it is aimed at the Kindle. It's a luxury item. We pragmatic folk will be late adopters.

Casca is right -- it is aimed at the Kindle. The problem is, it isn't even good compared to a kindle. Worthless piece of crap. Worst Apple product since the Newton.

Actually I don't think that Apple supports flash on anything...
"About Adobe: They are lazy, Jobs says. They have all this potential to do interesting things but they just refuse to do it. They don’t do anything with the approaches that Apple is taking, like Carbon. Apple does not support Flash because it is so buggy, he says. Whenever a Mac crashes more often than not it’s because of Flash. No one will be using Flash, he says. The world is moving to HTML5."

So I guess Net books have another plus. No Flash means No Hulu.

Apple could put a keyboard on a horse apple, retail it at $300 and a half million true believers would stand in line to buy the first run...especially if they died it some politically correct color like mauve or summer mist.

I have never heard of a Netbook.
Can you download and store music?
What's the difference between it and a laptop?
Thanks. -

Death is a natural consequence of mauve and summer mist.

Molonlabe28: A netbook is essentially a very small laptop. It doesn't have a CD-rom drive (doesn't really need one), and generally has a relatively small harddrive (often because it's a solid-state harddrive). However, it does have plenty of things like USB drives, wireless and wired ethernet, card readers, etc. Also, it can have a longer battery length than a typical laptop and it will be somewhat cheaper than a laptop.
Honestly, I prefer laptops, but netbooks do have their place. -

Holy mother of PRAM people. It's a first iteration. As much as I love my Macs, the last Apple product I rushed out to buy was the original iPod Nano - and I still love that sweet little device.
I'd buy an iPad over a Kindle in a heartbeat if I were going to buy that kind of device. It's got a color screen and though it can't DL books via 3G, it can do so through Wi-Fi and hoe far is anyone from a hotspot these days? Even freaking Mickey D's has 'em.
One of the great values of Apple is that it pushes the envelope. The original iPod was not exactly earth-shaking but without it, do you think the state of digital media would be what it is today?
Maybe. But I doubt it.
I hope the iPad is a success but I look forward to what's going to happen in and around it with even more anticipation. Culturally, it's a great tine to be alive (he says as he's listening via iTunes to a CD of Brazilian music based off Wagner's music called "Parsifal's Trip To Brazil").
Oh and my Magic Mouse is aMAZing. -

Every v.1.0 device (netbook, laptop, computer, cellphone, car, flat-screen TV, iPod....ANYTHING) sucks and lacks features you really want.
You pay a premium for jumping too quick and getting the privlidge of waving under everyone else's noses.
Don't whine and wait for the real v.3 version that'll be what you really want. -

I know somebody who writes reviews for one of the larger gaming sites out there. I haven't held it in my hand but I was talking to him about the I-pad and he said that neither he, nor anyone at the office cared too much for it. They said it doesn't do much the Ipod touch or the Iphone doesn't do.
They all agreed, most of them (except the diehard apple guys) saying they'd wait and see if the second generation Ipad was any better, when it comes out. -

Even if I were to buy one, which I won't, the Ipad would never replace my Kindle, for this reason: The Kindle is not backlit, making it much easier on the eyes for longer reading sessions.

The iPad will be a cult device, but will find quite a few niche uses. With a software development kit and the availability of a spreadsheet program for it, I, for one, have a specific use for it in my work.
Its advantage over a netbook happens to be the touchpad form of keying data. In my case, it'd involve touch buttons AND the keyboard.
So, yes, it is a fancy toy for the time being, but in some cases the darn thing IS useful. My only beef is that the 3G version is tied to AT&T.
