Hilarious! Even with a stupid name, I want one. I heard a story on NPR talking about the iPad sketch yesterday afternoon. Hilarious! Even with a stupid name, I want one.

I want to see how that market develops first. But, this is the one feature that could get me to pull the trigger in a couple of years. If I had not replaced my ipod touch last fall with the latest model, I might be singing a different tune. One other point. People complain about the closed nature of the whole i/Phone/Pod/Pad ecosystem, but the truth of the matter is that Apple is a leader in open web standards, allowing you to access a remarkable amount of material on these devices. I use my touch almost exclusively for Google reader and podcast listening. With ePub and a decent number of books, iPad here I come when the touch wears out.

And if you're wife is reading this, $499 is a ridiculously low price for this functionality. My guess is that they're selling these at a loss, to begin with. And I would say this is even MORE true about the $649 3G model. That's just an insanely good deal. I just bought a Macbook Pro (this week) and an iPhone (this summer), so I'll be waiting for iPad 2.0. By that time my phone will be up for renewal. Continuing to enjoy the blog.
