An easy to carry around the house device with WiFi, media, and gaming options? Who couldn't find a use for this. From pulling up the latest potato recipe on epicurious in the kitchen to reading a bedtime ebook to the kids or firing up the motivating tunes on the exercise bike. Sign me up, I like this future.

I want one! Yes, I'm disappointed with the iPad's shortcomings, most notably the lack of flash, however, I also believe that this iPad is quite possibly the absolute best sales tool ever created. I am not a sales-person, but am still involved in pitching and selling almost continuously. And most of my sales involve me presenting to small groups of people. Instead of dealing with the inevitable technical issues of trying to hook up a laptop to a projector, imagine just pulling out one of these sleek, ultra-cool, and undoubtably awe-invoking gadgets to give your presentation. I imagine a small group of up to 5 people will be able to surround it and easily view the presentation, while I drive the powerpoint with my finger sliding from slide to slide. Super easy, super fast, and super cool.

Also, I am very intrigued and excited for the bookstore feature.

I agree, and I am sure Apple is concerned about the competition, as well. One of the recent rumors is that the next iPhone OS update will include multi-tasking capabilities, so things are already changing. Unless you like being an early adopter, I would avoid almost any of them for the first generation.

Between not having Flash, and the problems that AT&T has had with their 3G performance with just the iPhone, the iPad seems to be set up for failure. I'm sure it's cool, and will be a conversation starter at parties, but I wouldn't buy one of these until a 2nd or 3rd gen. Maybe they'll have all the kinks worked out by then.

The Slate might give them a run for their money, especially in the beginning.
