I'm no Wordsworth, and i'd need to be to truly express my disappointment with the iPad. It seems to be to the iPhone what the DSi was to the DS - a lazy upgrade.

10" tablet with a phone OS... Ingenious.

No 3G, no webcam, no keyboard.

I just bought an Acer Aspire One (Atom N450) with keyboard, Windows 7, webcam, etc for $299. It is a GREAT PC.

I don't know the price of the iPad, but it better not be more than $349, and even that would be pushing it at this point.

We can all breathe a sigh of relief that Apple didn't do anything revolutionary here. One thing they do understand is how to to build a touch-based UI -- I wish other UI teams would learn from them.

No 3G = no subsidy = fail... Unless it is $200 without one.

And to think that Nokia had, has?, everything ready for this market and decided to cut EXACTLY on that?!

Oh boy, it seems to me that those guys up there do not really understand how the technology world goes...

I hope, better I beg, Nokia to release a damn tablet with M6. Forget that weird boklet monster and just go with a tablet.

I wouldn't be too quick to say "no 3G"... otherwise, I'm totally underwhelmed. The ability to run iWork on the iPad though is a good point. But the form factor just... the bezel is huge.
