Despite the really bad name, Apple's iPad will be big. Real big.
You know how people always talk about computers for their mom and dad? For their grandma? This could fill that niche quite nicely. It's much more of an appliance than a traditional computer. And that's a good thing for most of us.
Personally I'm a bit disappointed that it's not a "real" tablet based computer. But I think apple will get there eventually, they just plan on financing it this way.
Here's one of the best articles I've read about the topic.
Also on that note, I'm madly dumping my free time into a game that will play something like this. Not exactly, but this is the general idea.
I'll hopefully post something more interesting later. =)

It just seems WAY overpriced for what it is. It is not a computer. It's just a really big iphone that doesn't fit in your pocket. I'm not really sure what they were thinking. I like the concept, a lot, but the implementation was poor at best.
If it makes you feel any better, it will be a bit better than a glorified iPod touch. They have made some changes so that you have document management options and can share data between applications a bit more.
I know what you mean though. It's not a computer, which is what I wanted it to be. But it will do what the wii did -- ignore the geek segment and play to the "casual" market which is much much larger.
I am just tickled by the idea that maybe iGetone!
