I know the iPad got a lot of criticism for what it wasn't - namely a full-blown computer - but I do think it has a lot of uses that a personal computer user wouldn't need or consider to be of benefit - sales, medical, school lessons, public speaking aid, etc. It's pretty amazing.

They're very similar, but the iPad does have a longer battery life (10 hrs), higher screen resolution, ability to run software, etc....best description I've read is, it fills the gap between a smartphone and a laptop. (source: http://www.pcworld.com/article/187888/no_second_coming_apples_ipad_just_a_big_ipod_touch.html) Question is, does anyone need that gap filled? I don't know how popular it'll be, although Apple sold way more than projected last weekend, but I do think it could work like nothing else has before, in certain settings. (like clinical ones) “iPod XL”…..every time I start typing “iPad,” it usually comes out “iPod,” lol.

I'll be interested to see one in person. My other thought is will it just use the kindle app that's available on ipod and iphone now, or will they come out with their own e reader technology. I love technology, though...even though I don't have a need for it...so I can't wait to see it (I really just want a nice ipod touch, though) to me, it looks like an ipod on steroids…actually a friend of mine wondered to me why they came up with a new name…when it could have just been called “ipod XL”

For some reason the other thing that comes to mind is something similiar to a Ipod perhaps a little bigger than an Ipod. Is an Ipad not just a small laptop or is that something else I am thinking of.

Actually, no matter what criticisms reviewers have, everyone seems to love the sharp quality of the display.
