ipad anyone?
BobA:
Just out today. I think it is cool but not very convenient due to size. Not as handy as an iphone or ipod but it may find a place.

What a train wreck!
I don't know what their audience is for this one. It's the same as an iPhone, basically. It doesn't multitask, has no front-facing camera (for video conferences and Skype), it doesn't run OS X, Flash isn't supported (came up with the missing plugin thing during the presentation), it has SIX models to choose from, 3G is through AT&T, and it's nowhere near as good as an e-ink device for reading. So...if you want it for music, why not just use your iPhone? Same for all the app store apps. If you want it for video, shouldn't it be at least 16:9?
Who wants to pay for another monthly plan? You already have your cell phones plus their data plans, home Internet, and now you'll introduce this for another $30/month? It seems like this is something that should have been held off another year or two as it's a little half-baked. They just got 4 strong men to tug at each corner of an iPhone and called it a day.
Jeff AMN:
I think basically what happened is that Steve Jobs invited Derek Zoolander over and he saw an iPod Touch sitting there and went, "What is this...a tablet for ants?! If we're going to build this it needs to be at least three times this big!"
So that's what they did.
Malenko:
its iTarded. Why not just make a tiny keyboard fpr the Iphone? or a plug in the bottom that is KB,Mouse, and VGA out?
undoubtedly the iFanBoys will go out and iBuy it. Jeff already had the perfect reply to this, so I just rambled so I can catch chad in post count. 10,000 to go.

I could definitely see it eating into the eReader market. The screen may not be as nice to read on as a Kindle, but it is capable of a whole lot more. I initially thought it would be an abject failure until they got to price. I was expecting like $800+ (especially from Apple), but I can see it selling for $500.
I won't get one, but I have to admit, I'd love to have one laying around the house.
