but seriously, who will be buying one? People who want to pay Apple to be their beta testers.

I ordered four of them already for my family and I.

Haha just kidding. I do not currently see any value in these gizmos! Maybe I will get one and wear it on my belt. Then i can be the ultimate fanboy! If only it was a phone too. (note obvious sarcasm):bustingup

I am getting the 3G version (and the 2nd generation which is hopefully better).
Anyone know if the 3G version is unlocked? I know it needs micro-sim which is rare, but have not found any info as to whether it is unlocked or not.

yes its locked. they have contracts for service with the carriers for 3g.

That's why everyone pre-ordered them...the first 1 million inventory is sold out already...

Hmmm. With all the negative comments from every sector
what possible use could people have for it?

1MM? Where are you getting that number from? Businessweek is predicting 200,000 over the weekend, with ~ 2.8MM in 2010 in total.
