ipad anyone?

It's not about the concept. It's about the brand.
shmokes:
Apple TV baby!!!

This is not even remotely about Apple. Maybe for tiresome fanboys like Level42, but people with free minds realize that other manufacturers have been working on big screen pda's for a while too.
Sure I would never buy anything from Apple. I don't want to buy devices that are purposefully crippled just so they can enslave me to their content. Same reason why I didn't buy a Sony e-book reader.
Obviously my dislike for Apple doesn't explain why I wouldn't buy a similar Android or Windows Mobile 7 device.
I buy a device for a set of functions and not for a "mythical concept". Although I agree that "concept" myth is probably what is pushing the impulse buyers to *must have* one of these.
I have a PDA/phone with a 5" screen, an ebook reader with a 10" screen and a netbook with a 10" screen. I'm a gadget freak so I'd ultimately probably buy all devices, but if I have to make the choice between buying a netbook and a 10" pda, I would go for the netbook. It's as simple as that. Nothing sinister about it.
The only tablet type device I'm looking forward to is the Courier, but that's more from a "business use" point of view. I'd love to get rid of my notes and replace the Livescribe pen with a digital paper version.

Are there any statistics on 65+ users yet? I really feel this is going to be the retarded gadget of 2010!

I do like the hardware from Apple. I bet no other tablet is going to have IPS or PVA screens, that's a thing I really like about Apples offering. The OS on the other hand sucks big time. I want old-school full-file access and USB mass storage compatibility on any mobile device with access to every file on it, period!
