I'm with you on that observation, Matt. I'm now officially in lust mode, and I don't even own an iPhone. As much as you travel, this thing would be a godsend. 10 hours of video on a 10-inch screen. Darn near full-size keyboard. Multi-touch versions of iWork apps. Half-inch thick and 1.5 pounds.Well I will grab one on day one...as I did everything else...and I havn't drunk the coolaide..I can see how this could be great for TG...as a first second and third gen iphone user, and first mover on the kindle, I can see this being the ultimate travel machine..

Dennis sent me the link so I was in the loop as events unfolded..thanks Dennis. I had to laugh at one guy's comment, to quote from memory: "Last time a tablet got this much attention it had commandments written on it". Pretty funny I thought.

By the way...I'm sitting in Brisbane Mall on a balmy Queensland morning waiting to start work, sipping latte, watching the pretty girls go by and typing on my Mac (that's just a vane attempt to keep my comments loosely linked to the thread). Life is good.

Oh ya, I want one! A video camera would be cool, front facing so you could do video chat and or post guitar videos easily. I think I'd pass on the extra $130 for the 3G radio. My iPhone is good enough for my mobility needs, a WiFi only iPad would suffice for me. Not sure about how much storage I'd want. It seems so easy to move files on and off the device via iTunes I don't think I'd care to have the max. 64GB of storage, you can always get a 32GB SD card, which many of us have already, for under a $100. I'll have to mull that one over for the next 60 days. Still a real bummer that there is still no multi-tasking/background apps. I seem to get by ok without it on my iPhone but I do wish it had it now and again, and probably even more so with a more useful device like this. The fact that they made iLife apps is KILLER! And they're only $9.99 each, that's just awesome! I can not wait to see the apps that start rolling out for this thing. I am with dennisg on this one, we haven't even seen the iceberg yet.
