I think that part of the reason why there wasn’t more excitement at the keynote address is because this is technology that we’re already familiar with. I mean, how do you top the iPhone? You don’t. However, the iPad is exactly what they intended it to be, the device between the iPhone and the Mac. I definitely plan on getting it as soon as it comes out. It’s a great portable device because of its size and because of what it can do. It does everything I do on my Mac, except for iWeb. I hope they add that someday. I also LOVE the leather case which flips into a stand. That’s what put me over the edge, only because I had questions about how I would use it. I’m currently in school, so I don’t always have the option to rest it on my lap. And if I need a keyboard then I might as well take my notebook. But with this case, I can rest it on my desk and take notes. It’s also small enough that I can carry it in my already full backpack. I also LOVE iBooks! I hope to carry less textbooks in my backpack in the future! Awesome device!
A definite pass on this for me i want a full OSX not a mobile dummied down version if i am going to pay $500 for a bottom end of a device line. the sad part is my iphone and ipod touch do virtually everything it can minus a few software tweaks. if it has full leopard or full snow leopard I would take out a loan if i had to, to get one however it doesn’t thanks S. Jobs for dropping the ball in my opinion.
