I think the device would be okay at a lower price point. $500 for a 16GB WIFI device is excessive. As you said, it won’t replace an iPod. Or a phone. However, with the right right software, it could run the Kindle software.

I already have an iPod, a smart phone, laptop and netbook. I don’t really see how this device would replace any one of these. Or augment one of them.

Apple’s revolutionary iPad will eventually blow up after the first over-hype launch during it’s launch. The A4 chip and Apple’s potential to fix some problems will start to make the iPad a success in years to come.

On the one hand, Apple can be surprising. On the other hand, that’s the same thing people said about Apple TV.

If anyone has the ability to make this venture “work”, it’s going to be Apple. Sometimes, everything they touch turns to gold and there’s little explanation. So I’m not writing off the iPad yet, but a lot of things have to go Apple’s way.

I still believe we’re looking hard for a happy medium between the full-fledged laptop, and smartphone. Someone will get it right and hit the nail right on the head, eventually.
