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.. .

I see that they are doing their usual base model with little memory so they can talk about price then overcharging for the higher memory models so by the time you really
get what you want it is significantly higher priced than the "base" model.  Memory is cheap so the profit margin increases dramatically as they sell you the same
thing with more memory.  They are nothing if not "masters of marketing".......

When I first saw the name, I thought that Apple might have entered the  
feminine hygiene market.

Pulls together two threads here. The iPad one and one a while back - 
I think it was about Prosound using the same clip.

That clip is overused but this tickled em giving that chat here recently

The Hitler video has been edited a few times.  This one is quite good.  "It can't even make phone calls!"
