You know I've been wondering about that too, what is it supposed to exactly do?

The only real thing apple has over any other competitor in the market is multi-touch capable screens. From what I hear they patented the damn thing and sue everyone that tries to come up with something similar.

Its sad but if Jobs had watched some star trek he wouldve known that to revolutionize and dominate the market he just had to release something like their datapads.

even if it was a low powered cpu..if it had usb ports/host, a decent video capability, wifi+bluetooth+3g, solid state HDD 64mb (which it has I believe), SD card reader slot (so the USB and SD reader can function for external storage), mac OS that can run Iphone apps as a feature...

it wouldve been the end of all netbooks, most laptops and pda's.

but.. no. they screwed the pooch with this one. badly.

You are wrong.

The only thing iPad has to do is retrieve books through a wireless connection or 3G in numerous formats and display them in color. With the larger memory capabilities and Apples market share that alone will get them dominance at least until Microsoft releases something better. By selling this thing 'unlocked' you wont have to buy into AT&T (which is a good thing). Now if you can store purchases from Apples bookstore in an online account folder and download from your library as you see fit all the better.

If the iPad PC application is anything like iPod its not for me but if it is like Zune or Microsoft produces one that is (doesnt hog process time)... Im in.

Actually not true, there are other companies that have come out with multi-touch screens.

Sorry tac but there are already other products with capacitive multitouch on them from Asus, Lenovo etc....

The fact is that the ipad is does less for more $$$, but of course there was so much build up from the apple reality distortion field that the apple fans have failed to notice many of these other cool products launched at CES.

The Android OS has multi-built in as well.  In the U.S., it is not enabled by default in the OS.  However, any developer can use it.  I run a browser and photo gallery with multi-touch on my Moto Droid.

Got Eclipse downloaded just haven't installed it yet. I'm actually playing with Flex right now and rather enjoying it. Building an app using Red5 to let multiple people stream webcams to a central server, and one person pull them up on demand. It's for scenario paintball. People want Land Warrior, so I'm giving it to them. It'll go nicely with my smart phone gps based force tracking web app.
