I agree. The person who named the iPad is an iDiot. How long do they think they can milk this iAnything naming thing?

Nice...

I may be slow, but what can this device do that a mini-notebook (costing 2-3 times less) not do? Just because it is all touchscreen? I guess I am confused as well as some others as to its main purpose. Seems like an answer to a question nobody asked and something some people think they have to buy to stay cool/relevant, imo.

Please don't get me wrong, I love apple. I have three iphones, few ipods and a mac mini but this iPad doesn't fit in my life kind of like the AppleTV.
It sounds like a masshole saying "iPod"...

Sorry, can't resist this.

The iTampon is the upgraded version of the iPad (according to a tweet)...

Good question! Here you go...

P.S. Just wanted to clarify that this post is another of the immature (yes, I've made contributions to those) posts regards iPad, iTampon, iMaxipad, etc.

E61Silver is an unknown quantity at this point
I would rather have a Kindle.

I don't need another device that is almost a computer and I already have a smart phone.
