ipad anyone?

I'm just laughing my balls off. All these comments while NO-ONE has even held the product in hands and used it.
Exactly the same comments were all over the place about the iPod.

This is going to be a hit.

You know what ... I see a definite market for this and, to my surprise, I think that I'm it.
I was going to pick up a netbook because i need something a little lighter weight than my big notebooks for when I go to meetings, etc.
I also do a ton of reading on my BB, but it sucks for anything scanned (say, schematics for an arcade PCB). I also do some other stuff on my BB that would better be handled by an "in between device" ... simple tasks via remote access to servers, for example.
I also loves me my portable media when I am away from the bunker ... it doesn't happen that often, but enough that I find it tiring to watch video on my BB, despite the nice screen. And how often do I check here and on various other sites where something bigger than my BB would provide a better experience ?
I love Mrs. Cheffo's netbook, but could never really reconcile the fact that I have the exact same functionality in the exact same package, just with a bigger size.
I think I have finally found a (modern) Apple gadget that I can want for what it actually is and does.

I think a subdued hit, but a hit. IE: not the same numbers as the Iphone/Itouch, but when considering they are really attacking the eReader market, they have a good shot.
As mentioned, although they should have had some of the missing features, that's not smart from a company perspective, gotta leave room for the 2nd/3rd/future generations. I doubt outside of hacking it we'll see any support for flash, but that's always a possibility, even for ported OS'es that multitask.
I like it for the potential for touchscreen jukebox app we'll surely see. I'm also a fan of the casual apps and they should fit right in. I'll probably pass on this generation though, but there is potential there.

The biggest fail of the iPad is that it is in fact the best computer for people that never worked with a computer, yet it does not work WITHOUT ANOTHER COMPUTER. That is SO lame!
Level42:
Mmmm, let's estimate the number of people without a computer that would want to buy an iPad........mmmmmmm.......
1 ?
Show me a person with a netbook who doesn't also have a "real" computer....
