others are simply clueless.

Awww you included me in the post. Really I couldn't care less. Portable technology will always be portable first, in front of performance, features, looks and everything else. In fact I just bought my first laptop. It's a 5 year old HP that I paid $50 for. It does everything and more that I would need to, pretty much a 6-pound (weight dann... not money) netbook with more features for less money. Really I only see 3 markets: Laptop, phone, high-capacity music device. Amazon invented Kindle and I'm guessing this is Apple's pretty'ed version. I haven't looked at the features or specifications but I'm guessing it's a iPod Touch with a over-sized screen. If that's the case, I would say battery life is going to suffer due to backlight usage. Even if this iPad was $50, I really don't see the point. (again, I don't know specifications) It won't fit in your pocket and it probably doesn't have the features or power of a laptop. I think the Apple thin laptop would be a choice that's miles better than the iPad... but... I'm not a mainstream aestheticly-driven simple-minded person with money to burn.

I see it now. It will be a gel-covered microchip in the shape of the bitten apple.

Like how every American now thinks that wearing Gucci makes you rich. Apple is the OS/Hardware equivalent.

While I would love to continue bashing Apple, let's not forget the original post.

Now that I actually read it, it looks like a good tool to present my warez collection to everyone.

Also, they need to move away from the iPhone-esque OS on the iPad. I could install Linux on it and do miracles like cure cancer.

That actually had me bursting in laughs!! Good grief, good grief.

No chance of having a discussion taking off on this, eh?

And serve drinks on a custom-colored tray.

LMAO

Does anyone know how the monitor compares to the mac desktop computers?
