I haven't followed it obsessively or read a lot about it other than a few articles in the MSM press in the week leading up to the release and of course the reaction to it. I think a lot of folks who are keen on it see it as an object for playing/entertaining rather than slogging away on in a coffee shop. I love the idea of it being a big iPhone. I love my iPhone, but I'm glad the Ted Talks and NYTimes I squint at on the streetcar ride to work will now be easier - and more fun - to take in.

As a content producer this device excites me. But I don't think the lines out the store will match the iPhone lines, if a line at all. Non-persistent apps seems to be the most common criticism and I would agree (changeable with software update?). I'm gonna get one in the spirit I bought gaming platforms (not a big gamer) and new gadget-drool products, to see how I interact with this new platform, and to understand it. And as I have said before my restroom lacks an internet device, this may be the ticket!! Hearing this sentiment with some level of frequency. As a content producer this device excites me.

At first I was in awe. It is definitely cooler looking then a Kindle. Then I realized.... it is a big toddler sized iPhone. I already have a MacBook, iMac, iPhone, two iPods, and an iTouch. I am with you Tom... I too will pass. I watched the long presentation on Apple’s website. At first I was in awe. It is definitely cooler looking then a Kindle.

While I understand the long-term implications of such a device, it's simply an unnecessary (albeit pretty) device for folks like you and me - people already armed with an iPhone and a MacBook. As usual, well said, Mr. Webster. For a moment, I felt like I was going to be in the minority, yawning in the face of the iPad.
