Lots as in 51,000 pre-orders in the first two hours. Craziness!

Nah. If it was more like a computer than an iPod touch, maybe, but without flash and multitasking, the iPad is too close to an iPod touch/iPhone.

Heh, true. The whole idea of this thing I find rather ridiculous, I'll keep my iPhone as my only Mac product for the near future.

Sad but true, I know many more who will pay 500 dollars plus taxes for a 16 gb oversized iphone with no phone, no multitasking, and it requires itunes. Seriously for that amount of money I can get a good desktop computer or a good laptop. I don't know what type of product Apple is trying to sell here.

No, I'm not an idiot. Only people who are spoiled rich and have no idea what they are about to buy get that stuff.

It's a misleading product for all the dummies.

I agree. It's just disgusting how Apple takes advantage of the tech-illiterate consumer.

That's their whole market (at least for their non-desktop computers). They are for the people who want their computing devices to be like appliances.

Well you've got to have extras to cannibalize for parts when the battery dies in the first one.

To make profit from the Apple brand, the iPad itself is actually a minor part of the package.

No, thank you.

I already own an iPod Touch and I don't see the appeal in paying $500+ for something that's essentially a bigger version of that.

Yep. I went there.

I'm not buying one, because there are no features in it that justify the price.

This short video says everything you need to hear about the iPad, really. There's a couple of swears, but they're bleeped out so shouldn't do any harm. :)
