Im not really used to the personal attack thing here, so Rumz, go troll someone else.
The best thing the ipad can do is usher in some competition and make the flat tablet become a serious computer replacement. I actually had one in the 90's and used it in class in college...it just never went anywhere past that.
I will very likely get version 2 of it if someone hasn't come out with something better (mac osx or win7 based would be the main thing I would like that the ipad isnt)
None of the apple stores were sold out on launch day and there were no lines - I think they overpriced it honestly considering the amount of $$$ they can make with people buying itunes stuff > hardware margins - hell they could probably subsidize the hardware completely and just hand them out based on numbers I have seen that app store generates.
Quit crying and go buy one if you want it so bad...or go to your nearest starbucks - lots are posing for heroic picture shots all around where I live...the best was a guy who hung out with his MBP 17, iphone, and ipad all strung out on a table at starbucks and tried to make eye contact with everyone who passed by at the mall...I almost sat down and got all my stuff out and tossed my DS, PSP, and audio gear out too.
Anyways enjoy the ipad - it was an impressive piece of equipment.
