This thing is absolutely amazing. My impression is that is the iphone, but a lot bigger, without phone capabilities (otherwise known as the ipod touch), and with a bookstore. Thats right, it has an ibook store. Sold. Forget the nook and the sony ereader and the kindle, sign me up for an ipad.
However, I can be patient and wait a couple years to get one of these. I do think it would be a bit silly to get one now when I just got my iphone, but I can just imagine watching movies, reading a book, reading the newspaper, or playing online all on the same easy device. And for travel? Heck yes. Right now my laptop is heavy, the battery life sucks, and I can't watch movies on it for some reason. Otherwise though, it works great and I have no need to get a new one. So why not get an ipad to use for travel, whether it be to foreign countries, home to California, or on the metro to work? Its less than 2 pounds and super slim. Plus, since the screen is big, so is the touch screen keyboard, which makes it way easier to type, though I have no problems with my iphone keypad as is :-).
The little video I watched showed an amazing calendar application too, and imagining all of the iphone apps on the huge screen? Well, needless to say, I'm excited. Plus, it still has the app store and the itunes store. Ahh-mazing.
So freaking exciting. Now I just have to be patient, and when I get a job and the price goes down for the one with more storage and 3G in addition to just the wifi, that baby is sold.

esp. since it costs $400!!!!!!!!! right now.... yikes.
I'm kinda bummed about my eReader. Especially since Barnes & Noble came out with one that's touch screen and 3G as well.
Oh well.
thats kind of why i have been waiting. i like the nook better than the kindle and sony ereader, but i still am not a huge fan. i like the ipad bc its color, and the turning of the pages wont bother me like it does on the other readers. eventually, i so want one of these, but i can be patient a while longer :-) and don't be bummed! at least you can easily read while traveling :-)
