    Basically it seems a means to sell apps and publications.
    No SD card slot so no possibility of loading anything that way.
    So we'll be locked into buying from Apple's online store ?

    I have a philosophical problem with that and my protest will be to not buy one. ( as I have not got Iphone or iPod )

    For those who like Apple to have you by the goolies, go for it.

    I think it's quite a sexy bit of kit... Though I'm not 100% sure how I'd use it.

    One of the things not mentioned here is how it can also be used as one of those electronic picture frames. Also, if it had an IR port, it's be perfect as one of those multi-function remote controls.

    I'll probably get one and keep it in the living room... When not being used, I'll probably use it as a picture frame (probably with a slide show on) but then have it so I can browse the WWW & watch TV/Films.

    PS... I hear iPad v2.0 will have wings. ;-)

    LOL - I'd heard about that but hadn't seen it...

    What does it say about Apple that this was made in 2005?

    I'm still unsure what I would use an Ipad for, I have an Iphone and the apps are useful, but mainly because they are on my phone.

    Anyway, I see a handy comparison has been made:

    "Basically it seems a means to sell apps and publications."

    Why is this a problem?? Apple is after all a software and design company, that just happens to put others' funky hardware into an even better package running the best consumer OS in the market!

    If you use something that someone else has spent hard time producing, why not pay for it? I get annoyed more at people who think it is there "right" to copy, pirate and steal computer software. If you work in the IT industry you should be protecting your colleagues and your own career by actually paying for what you use.

    Back on topic, i am more concerned with the lack of HDMI output, no were can i find that there is a proper GPS (Assited GPS can be good, but not the real deal) and no USB, both of these seem a little annoying rather than a show stopper.

    At least the iPad has support for bluetooth keyboards. This means there's potential for game controllers.

    I've heard the Wifi-only model doesn't have GPS, however the 3G version has GPS. Odd, unless it's a chipset thing where the GPS & 3G is all in the same silicon.
