nothing revolutionary. God the hype around Apple amuses me. And the fact their product announcements make the news, what a joke. Plenty of other companies announce new things, wheres their 15 mins of fame. Guess thats one of the reasons Apple products sell so well. Apart from their marketing.

I think it's worth buying but I won't be buying one because I'm not in the target market.
Apple gets the headlines because their products revolutionise markets thats why.
iPod revolutionised Digital Content sales
iPhone revolutionised Mobile App sales
iPad will revolutionise eBook, magazine content and newspaper content sales.
This is not targeted at the likes of computer/mobile enthusiasts but at an American consumer market looking for a simplified delivery device for online content that is not being effectively catered too already. Kinda like how smartphones didn't meet everyones needs properly until the iPhone came along.
Currently Apple get a share of revenue generated from music sales, movie sales, TV series sales, music video sales, now this will ramp up their share of revenue from eBook sales as well as revenue from newspaper and magazine content. It's a revenue generating device for Apple and I think it's a stroke of genius, yet again.
I still won't be buying one. I bet Masseur does though, he's slap bang in the middle of the target market.

Why do people keep comparing the iPad with the iPhone? It is not a phone. GSMArena hit the right note by calling the iPad an
iPod Touch on steroids.
Here is a
video from the announcement... and here's
Hitler ranting about it...

On the news last night they pointed out all of Apple's lemons they released over the years. There were loads of failures lol.

Just imagine Steve Jobs on stage saying ; Well, it's only a big iPod-Touch but we had nothing better. So if you all cheer loud, we can go home.
He'll always tell us it's revolutionary, that's the Apple way.

If its meant to be JUST a eBook /Newspaper/ Magazine reader then WHY does it have to be so large? I cant imagine pulling that out in public just to read an eBook or Newspaper. Can you imagine a person living in New York getting into the already crammed subway trains with an extra bag for their iPad and then having to pull it out? Atleast you can fold an actual newspaper but this thing you cant,and with such a large display why not have multitasking and Flash in the web browser? It would be perfect. At this point it realy is a iPod Touch on steroids. It doesnt need to be so large if its just for eBooks and NewsPapers, these are things they couldve made big with the iPhone and iPod Touch ay announcing apps for them to buy and read eBooks and NewsPapers,i just dont see where this thing fits in. Should've been smaller/Less large IMO.
