Fanboi! :-)

To hold off 90% of the comments:
* The iPad is NOT a computer, it is an appliance.
* Yes, it IS a big iPod Touch, ever try to read a lot of text (or book) on
an iPod Touch? I have, it gets hard on the eyes.
* This is better than the Kindle in that you can do more than just read
books and, the bottom end, the iPad is about the same price as the Kindle DX
(if memory serves correctly).
* I put this in the same class as netbooks. Not really useful for all of the
time use, but good for quick internet-based tasks.
* There is enough "apps for that" that you can do most things you can do on
a computer
* Yes, I know I can't watch Hulu on it... yet. I want that too... :-)
* It will succeed because everyone will think it will fail. Look at
the original iPod, iMac, and iPhone.
