Anyone else interested?

I hope to be wowed by it. I hope it has some new technology that we've yet to see and that it's not just a big iPod Touch.

i am calling glorified e-reader with a comprehensive newspaper subscription model in place.

I'm hoping for the "wow" too. Not sure that it will be fully baked on gen1. Probably going to revolutionize print distribution in the longer term.

interested to hear if there will be any iphone 2010 w/ verizon developments

i think verizon iphone is all but guaranteed. i hope t-mo gets a bone too.

I think the pricing will be the most important thing revealed. If they can get it below $700, I think the market will open up to people that wouldn't normally buy a laptop. I base 100% of this opinion upon the fact that my dad wants one.

im currently on tmobile, but they recently switched my plan to their Even More Plus plan. and i believe one of the terms of it is that i dont get discounts on the hardware. so, that plus the contract ending in sept. would most likely mean i'm off to verizon. if all of this is true, of course.

i played with a nexus one today. pretty cool. i'm sure the next iphone will be unstoppable tho. esp w/ multitasking and (hopefully) 64GB capacity or more.

Don't care. I still have my 1st Gen iPod mini I won in 2004.

Price will be a big factor. I'm interested, but not holding my breath for anything but a glorified ipod touch.

I'm not at all happy with windows 7 and have already been considering a Macbook. It's all about the price for me. I'm hoping for $700ish, but I'm not optimistic.

I think it is fair to assume that initial launch models will be priced at a premium. However, if the tablet is worthwhile enough to have longevity, that price will drop at a relatively nice pace.

Just some advice from a guy who has never owned anything but an Apple -- Wait for the 2.0 version before purchasing. They get all the suckers to buy the new sht, and complain about it, fix there complaints/work out the kinks, and come out with a better version within @ 6 months.

Anyone keeping up with Doonesbury this week? ...nails it...

it's on dudes. just a reminder.

iPad? are they serious?

Ipad's a terrible name. I can't hear it without thinking of Aunt Flo.

this thing is fucking lame.

at this point, i'm fine with my Macbook.

yeah....fail.

yikes

this thing is just retarded

No multitasking.

FAIL.

I don't see the lameness in it so far. As a laptop replacement, all it needs is the basics--wireless, email, and web. I keep a laptop in my living room for web access, and this looks like a much more convienient option. Haven't seen what other wizbangs it has though. I might be interested in v2, if/when it comes out.
