I'm fairly OS agnostic. I play games in Windows (and now PS3), Run servers on Linux and support my wife on her work Mac book. Personally I use the best tool for the job and generally that tool is usually not an apple product so I'm o fan boy. However I do have to ask this question. Why are all non Apple people disgusted with this product? Who cares what Apple fan boys buy. As for the ipad I guess it'll end up like the Apple Newton...Thats my prediction

I can see some business functionality of this. My company is a Health care information technology company. I could see this used with some of our software for patient charts and ordering.
On a personal level, i think its stupid and doesnt really fill any special niche.Delivering bacon goodness one round at a time.

Yeah but any tablet PC with built in 3g/4g broadband could do that.

While I'm not a Mac user (except for my lone Shuffle...LOL) the iPad looks pretty cool. For $499 it seems right up there w/ other netbooks and entry level notebooks...which I assume Apple is going after w/ this product.
I've been looking for something portable and light to watch content via Slingbox (iPhone/Touch screen is too small) and was considering getting a netbook but I'm willing to check out the iPad too.
