    • It will definitely fill the hole for the niche users who use an over-powered machine just to check e-mail and watch videos. This is all the computer some users need, and without the child's-toy feel of a netbook. I have a MB Pro and an iPhone, I doubt I'll be buying an iPad, but I can surely see where it will be the best product for some people's computer usage.

    • i have a macbook and a touch, and was not thinking i needed an additional thing, but the more i looked at my life and how i like to live it, it seems the more the ipad would fit in nicely. i'll bet there are many people who are seeing this. it's not the device, the name, or the buzz, the question is will it fit with the way you go about being you?

    • It is becoming an i-world. In the opinion of avid Microsoft user and Apple hater, iPad is quite possibly the dumbest product to hit the market. It's pretty much an iTouch for the visually impaired or people who would rather use a backpack than a pocket of their jeans.

      I'm guessing you never heard of the Amazon Kindle, and all the millions it sold.

      iPad is not an "iTouch for the visually impaired", it's a Kindle with a full-color multi-touch screen with full internet and multimedia capabilities and the ability to run third party software.

      Nowadays, most people only use a computer for a handful of things- email, web browsing, some light word processing and photo editing, listening to music, watching movies, and playing games.

      And this device can do all of that- and since it's a closed environment, it can do it without viruses.

      If you don't get it, that's fine- lots of people did not get the iPhone when it first came out either. They thought it was dumb to combine a phone with a PDA. It seems they were wrong.
