   I agree, its juat a gadget.  I don't buy stuff that locks me into monthly payments unless I need it.
  It might be good for someone who requires reading glasses & a large typeface.
  Can't help but wonder if it has a keyboard as an option.

Its a joke...  10 Hours of battery life?  if their claims are anything like their Iphone, its probably really only 5 hours... depending if you are using 3G, etc...

It will cost anywhere between $15 and $50 a month for content...

It will cost between $600 and $1000....

Don't they realize that we are in a recession? 

hard to put in your pocket and carry it around...

Didn't they learn that touch screen keyboards are not really non-starters for most people?

and Pads have been introduced into the market place before, with little acceptance.. .
