Just a big iPod touch? -- 480x320 3.5" vs. 1024x768 9,7" multi-touch screen

The ability to carry the iPod in my pocket is way more important than a bigger screen.

+1000!! I can't for the life of me see how people expect to be toting this thing around town when it doesn't fit in a pocket. Besides, the other products due out this year look more enticing, like the Notion Ink Adam. (1080 output, for one!)

You REALLY want me to worry about Apple "cannibalizing" some market share of their Mac sales?? That's too funny for words. I don't care SQUAT about Apple's share price, sales, or success. All I care about as a consumer is getting value/performance/features in the products I choose to buy. When Apple is unable to fulfill my requirements, I don't buy--simple as that. Because I like iPods, my wife and I own 10 of them. Those are the ONLY apple products I've ever owned. The iPad likely won't be an addition to my stable of ipods.

I would be willing to pay MORE for a full fledged, tiny computer, rather than a gimped-down Flashless, non-multitasking "large Touch".

Sense?? I'm hardly the only potential customer who thinks the iPad is much ado about nothing.

You have just proven to be another unrealistic whiner with no sense of how or why Apple would ever release a Tablet with full OS X. Apple is not going to make a full blown tablet for the hand full of kids stomping their feet because they didn't get what they want.

You make all your rants with zero logic as to why any company would ever make one. Kudo's for proving my point. It's almost to easy on these forums.

EVERY product that is remotely similar to another, produced by the same company, could be viewed as "cannibalizing" the sales of the other products.

It doesn't need to go everywhere with you. Good to have at home, very awesome to take on trips, maybe to work. Does not need to fit in your pocket.

Can fit easily in a leather portfolio though, for instance.

As for the Notion Ink Adam haha.

I bet they are still mopping up their tears.
