Well that's pointlessly large for a portable device. They might as well bring back the Zack Morris phone while they're at it.

This all sounds very similar to the original rants about the iPod from 2001...

I’ve used Macs for over 20 years, but I think Apple missed the target big time with this. In addition to the unfortunate name, I see the following:

First, they apparently want you to purchase all content from Apple. They don’t mention that you can download free content. No thanks, no way. Then, no flash capability, no USB port, likely no user-replaceable battery, and a really ugly bezel. What was Steve thinking?

What does it do that a normal tablet PC won't do? Even one several years old and available for far less? Or a used netbook, for that matter. Show wide-screen movies? Not very well with the 4:3 screen dimensions they use.

My ten y/o Walkabout HH3 tablet pc holds my 800+ free ebooks, shows my videos, pictures, has GPS, wifi, and cost a lot less. Did I mention it's waterproof rugged, and almost indestructible?

I see that there are only two things of positive note with the iPad. That it uses an Apple-designed chip, and an SSD drive. Both went almost unnoticed in the hype. The SSD drive will soon be the industry standard and Apple doing their own processors should be a wake-up call for Intel.

Other than those two items, I see a big worm in the Apple.

hmmm, maybe it's another marketing ploy, i mean.. Jobs released iPod Videos for the sole purpose of doing it earlier than anyone else even if it made no sense

Fred - Since we are at the top of the food chain, we eat other animals that have ingested man's pollution ie) shark, whale, yellow and blue fin tuna, skipjack (canned tuna), even the botton feeders like shrimp, clams, mussels, etc., so I'm sure your deleted comment had some very solid points.

hahahaahahahah

Am I the only one here who likes the iPad?
