Everyone cries about touchscreen keyboards but honestly once you get used to it, it's not a huge deal.
Right now the iPad is going to fit a niche market more than anything, but I definitely think it will be interesting to see where this goes in the future.

Dude it seriously looks like the Reader's Digest large print edition of an iPhone. So it's an iPhone for old people?
It would certainly make playing games at work much harder ;)

It's a giant iPhone basically. Looks cool but I'll wait for the price to come down before I bite.
except it's got no phone, no camera, etc
you have to buy adapters to even plug something USB like a camera into it.. no HDMI out.. no true MULTI-TASKING... i'm not paying 500 for something that I can only run one full app at a time, running the same OS as the iphone, so no go on flash once again.. it should be running OS X or a slimmed down version of it
plenty of other issues with it
Yeah certainly nothing to jump at right away. I'll be interested to see where it goes in the future but right now I'll pass.

Yeah that is insane considering it's rumored to be $800 - $1000 right off the bat. I never understood the need to be an early adopter. I'll just wait for the inevitable price drop with the release of the new and improved version in a year.
Very interesting article, looking towards v. 2.0
