My first opinion - the name has got to go! Seriously, a woman was not involved in picking that name or they would have laughed it away right then and there.
I'd love to see the commercial of the ipad commercials when it hits our tv screens. I envision (think baywatch slow motion scene) of a woman running across the beach taking long strides clutching her ipad.
I hear it surfs the web and stops the bleeding, how much better can it get?
Seriously though I think it's total junk, and could very well be the flop Apple's been seeking for the past 10 or so years, hopefully they don't have much wrapped up in this because short of the "apple fan boys" I don't see this overtaking the netbook market like it aims to.
It's like a giant iPhone without a camera, and voice capabilities, it can't multi-task, it still only has 4 icon rows despite the larger screen, uses an archaic little used sim card, the outter rim (bezel?) is HUGE, and rather cumbersome, no flash support still, and it still relys on the closed development app system of the App Store. To top that off I hear you have to have an adapter just for USB or anything else.
