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

I honestly haven't taken an analytical look it it yet.
I have a rudimentary understanding of its intended
audience and potential uses but since i'm not an early
adopter of new products I usually wait till the dust
settles and gather information later. My reason is
that at the outset there's always a lot of "lets find out
what it wont do" rather than what it "really can do"

Regarding the shattering uses part?
My answer at this point would be that the iPhone wasn't regarded
by many as a device with earth shattering uses either.
In fact it still garners a fair amount of complaints by
unsatisfied people who believe it should do this, that, or the other.
Still that hasn't stopped some of those same people
who complain about it from buying it in droves...... Go figure.....

No device has it all. Sometimes it's just the way it looks,
the way it feels, or does what it does that makes it special.
The MotoRazr is a perfect example of just a telephone
with a form, function, and look that captured mass appeal.
(but it was just a phone) For those that bought it.......WHY?
They could have bought a phone at Walmart....So there you go!!!

My questions however, as a consumer and technologist, have still not been answered. This isn't about me or you, it's about the device, its intended audience, potential uses, and whether it will be successful. I was actually looking forward to hearing your take on it as you are a self described fanatic about Apple products, but it seems that you and the Apple Sheeple, are just as baffled as I am as to "why".

Btw- It is not a question of not understanding the product, I understand its abilities very well. In order to not understand its intended earth shattering uses, someone would have to actually propose some earth shattering uses first so that they could be considered

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.

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.

Yeah dude, if you don't have the latest Apple/igadget you are lame. That is just how it goes. That is what the highschoolers tell me anyway. Wasn't the Macbook Air cool for like a week or something a year or two ago?

iPod = Great
iPhone = Good (nice gadget/crappy service)
iAnything else = iCrap
